So many men in today’s gym would rather struggle with 25kg dumbbells just to protect their ego. Meanwhile, Mr. Olympia champion is using 10kg dumbbells to build the most ridiculous biceps you’ll ever see.
Stop training for the audience.
Impressive? Maybe. Necessary? Not even close. Lifting heavy is a must for any gym bro, but kneeling under 405 with no spotter isn’t strength training, it’s a knee injury waiting for its turn. Not every viral lift deserves an applause. Some of it is just bs with plates on it.

@Emmachuuks@Vibe_ueen Eating ones a day becomes useless if that one meal is packed with calories surplus. That still doesn’t change the fact that one of the easiest ways to control calories is through OMAD.
@Jainadave_ Absolutely. Building muscle isn’t all about the aesthetics. It’s about maintaining strength, mobility and the ability to do things for yourself as you age.
The fittest people I know aren't the extreme ones. They're the consistent ones.
They take vacations. Eat pizza. Get through stressful weeks. Skip a workout here and there.
And still, they stay in incredible shape.
Want to know why?
So while I was doing my cable fly, I met a gym bro, who’s wayyy bigger than I am, he looks like one of those professional bodybuilders, has muscles lifts heavy and all, he told me to perform my fly this way ( the way I’m doing it in the video), but after my sets, I didn’t feel any tension on my chest, I wanted to confirm, is this the right way to perform the exercise and does anyone have an advice for me on how to perform my cable fly better
Bodybuilding wasn’t paying as much as it pays currently, look at Ronnie, he had to juggle being a cop and being a pro bodybuilder, but never ever complained.
The old era has to be the greatest, all the bodybuilders were doing it for the love of the game and the joy, they’d all show up in suits and be orderly, unlike the new school who don’t care if it’s a competition or not, to them it’s just another payday. It’s sad we lost that era of bodybuilding
Lean is cute until the bar gets heavy. Every heaviest total in powerlifting was pulled by a big man with belly, not six-pack.
Name one shredded guy holding the all time total. I’ll wait.
