Is Bodybuilding HEALTHY?
YouTube Video
great video.
"Is bodybuilding Healthy?"
Yes, of course.
Is the lifestyle of pro BB healthy?
Probably not.
Too many gears, injectables, pills etc.... Leads to kidney failure, liver damage, etc.
Not to mention how hard on the heart that shit is.
yeah that is basically what he talks about in the video, along with the aspect of competing and the dieting, training, etc., and you can say the same thing about most pro sports.Quote:

Plus solariums, melatonin (who know what long term side effect that will have) AIs, fatburners, acutane. All adds up but if ya gonna die at least you die jerked and tanned.Quote:

in terms of bodybuilding the drastic weight fluctuations from the off-season to showtime is the most detrimental. such as when Lee Priest used to get hella fat in the off-season at close to 300lbs then get back down to the low 200's for comp time.
much better to stay lean all year round...people don't realize that fat cells are biologically active and secrete a variety of hormones.
These days most pros stay in good shape year round.
Thanx! :winkfinger:Quote:

For clarification: My previous post in this thread wasn't in any way aimed at you. I was just laughing at DGG.
How is melatonin supposed to help a bodybuilder get bigger? I've only seen it used as a sleep aid.Quote:

Nothing is 100% safe, not water not air, etc. Melatonin has fairly extensive safety data. Didn't do squat for me personally as a sleep aid. It's not one of the more commonly used supps by bbers, so seemed an odd one to pick as an example of supps, which is why I asked.Quote:
