10 Hard Truths About Bodybuilding
Posted on March 28, 2014 by Truth Seeker
1.You can’t be big and {shredded} as a natural bodybuilder.
True natural bodybuilders are small and don’t look like they lift with clothes on. As a natural bodybuilder you are limited. You cannot have the mass and conditioning of guys like Kali Muscle by just “eating and training right”. It’s not going to happen no matter what kind of routine you follow. It’s all a scam.
2.Supplements are a joke
Supplements are not magic. They are just a way to monetize this whole bodybuilding game. Unless your mouth is injured and you can’t eat solid food, there’s no need for supplements. Not even creatine and protein.
3.Squats and deadlifts are no magic
Squats and deadlifts represent one of the greatest exercises in the world. However, they have shortcomings too and quite often strength trainers attribute magic qualities to them. Not the case. Squat and deadlifts are just exercises – not magic.
4.There is a lot of disinformation and self-proclaimed experts
In the world of bodybuilding everybody has a different opinion on every subject and it’s easy to get confused. Many bodybuilders suffer from paralysis by analysis. This is counterproductive. It’s easy to get lost in the sea of disinformation.
5.Unrealistic expectations
The products in the fitness world are usually advertised by bodybuilders on steroids. For example the articles on T-Nation are written by people who look somewhat normal, but there are photos of steroid users surrounding the “information”. That’s how the users are mislead into believing that they can achieve the physiques they see in the photos by following the discussed program and taking the offered supplements. This is a complete lie and guys like Christian Thibaudeau know it perfectly well.
That’s why recreational bodybuilders develop unrealistic expectations and feel depressed and sad when their goal physique turns out to be just a pipe dream. It hurts, doesn’t it?
7.Lifting weights is a narcissistic activity
Admit it already – you lift weights because you want others to admire you! You want others to say: “Hey, bro! Sick arms. Flex for me.” Unless done with the right mindset lifting weights can very well become one of the most narcissistic activities – especially if you are obsessed and all you think about is how good you look in the mirror. Don’t go overboard.
8.Bulking sucks
Bulking just sucks. Period. You get fat in the hope to build more muscle. You cannot force feed muscle growth. It doesn’t happen this way.
9.Bodybuilding could be really boring
Lifting weights gets very repetitive and when the results slow down it gets super boring to do the same thing over and over again. This could also be a good thing and a way to test your “faith”.
10.Most bodybuilders are stupid
Sorry, but the majority of the meat heads are brain limited and haven’t read more than 5 books in their lives. All they think about is money, sex and muscle. The fitness world is full of superficial and fake personages such as Dana Linn Bailey. Just go to any bodybuilding expo and observe the amount mediocre spiritual level of most people.
