Each to their own.....my younger brother has won several titles for his body building, he has enjoyed it from the age of fourteen, he is now forty eight and still going...strong. The sport has a large following, but previous comments are right. It is a sport that treats your body poorly if you cease your training regimen incorrectly. I've never been in a gym in my life, or worked out....my work out I spose is my occupation...(and sex)
