bodybuilding.com is a joke

I don't use the forum, mostly just use their 1rm calculator, but I decided to take a quick peek at the forums, and holy shit.

Bb is a huge cope tbh. And dont get me wrong I am absolutely for exercising regularly etc. But just getting lean with mb six pack abs is basically enough. A body like brad pitt in Fight Club. You dont need to BB to achieve that, in fact its achievable at home with simple exercises- push ups, pull ups, calisthenics etc.

BB per se is a huge fkn cope, bc many dudes think that getting buff like a roidster will increase their chances with foids, which it clearly wont. If you get lean with abs, decent biceps, shoulders etc. - anything above that is cope.

I mean its just timewaste basically. Looking like a buff gorilla only ascends you if you have a good frame/face already. If you dont, it just looks like megacope, ppl dont think that youre “strong” but that youre overcompensating the lack if looks.

actual competitive bbs are maybe the most mentally ill group of people
