What are some mind-blowing facts about bodybuilding?

It's the best sport to do for a life time.

Over 70's bodybuilder.

Bodybuilding helps maintain muscle mass which helps fight off many diseases that people get when aging. It helps stability, reducing the chances of a fall which is a considerable factor in older people. And it improves quality of life at all stages of life.

Its the best sport for women to reach their body goals.

As a personal trainer you will hear this excuse all the time.

“I don't want to lift weights because I'll get to big”

Because their is a irrational fear of over success when it comes to bodybuilding.

You look skinnier. You are more powerful, healthier, can eat more without putting on fat and live longer.

Philosophy from my dad.

My dad is a lifelong gym goer and runner. And he would always say:

“Your body is the vessel you experience the world in”

When your strong and healthy, you have more energy and more ability than others to experience life.

  • I don't want to be 60 and not able to climb a mountain with my family.
  • I don't want to be 70 and unable to chase my grandkids around.
  • I don't want to be 80 and not scare my granddaughters first boyfriend.
  • I don't want to be 90 and have a nurse help me squat off the toilet.

Because of my choices. I choose to spend 4% of my day (1 hour) in hell. So that for a lifetime I can perform the way I want to.

I think that pretty underrated.
