Bodybuilder’s deserve mainstream publicity; however today’s masses are not willing to accept the athletic giants. Even so, they brutally and repeatedly train themselves over years of torture, reaching for greater physical refinement. They stay motivated in the midst of controversy. They make sacrifices to remain mentally and physically consistent. They don’t train within a month or season - they maintain a bodybuilding lifestyle.

Baseball, basketball, and football are all routinely televised and promoted; on the other hand, bodybuilders lack the same widespread support. With little exposure, they earn far less monetary compensation for their efforts. The International Federation of Bodybuilders awards the coveted Mr. and Mrs. Olympia titles each year. This is considered the pinnacle of bodybuilding – if you earn first place at an Olympia, you’re a champion. Nevertheless, the winners take home a bag of peanuts compared to what a successful baseball pitcher earns in one season. Greatly anticipated boxing matches present huge purses to participants.

Professional bodybuilders display hard-earned muscularity with an ability to properly exhibit themselves on stage – years of training down to a single day’s event. They present massive muscles, hanging from a skeletal structure in a way that is aesthetically pleasing. Some people try to compensate for genetic short comings by using various ergogenics – mechanical, nutritional and pharmaceutical – but their years of dedication may never earn them an elite professional title.

Unlike sports requiring agility and intricate skills, bodybuilding is more of a motor-learning and motivational process that is displayed every single day. Success rests on accumulating and applying fitness knowledge, overcoming personal limitations and ignoring destructive influences. Nearly anyone can get into great physical shape – it’s a human birth right. Most won’t make the required effort or adhere to any nutritional restrictions. According to worldwide estimates, around 1.1 billion adults are overweight and 320 million are obese – the general population would prefer to display their erroneous “fat is beautiful” bullshit.

Successful – recreational and professional – bodybuilders stand upright and proud of their body composition, something extraordinary in today’s society. People can talk about being a great football player; when it comes to bodybuilding, talk is deeply discounted since efforts are quite noticeable.

This extreme fitness subculture is emerging during a lazy and flabby epoch of human existence. Obtaining a fit physique is not mainstream agenda – being a spectator is exceedingly more popular than becoming an athlete. People in poor physical condition painfully lug themselves around, trying to avoid the need to perform any physical activity. Bodybuilders do not make them feel better about themselves – quite the opposite; they only enforce how unfit they have become. People will not watch daytime television if it makes their own existence feel inferior – they want to see people with worse situations than there own. Jerry Springer anyone?

We live in a world engulfed in an obesity epidemic, deeply rooted and complicated by severe behavioral and environmental problems. Bodybuilders are only motivating to other bodybuilders. Displaying extreme and shredded levels of muscularity is contradictory to the lifestyle of mainstream populations.
