netikras34855327dI never understood bodybuilders. Seems to me like a completely pointless waste of time.
I had a friend in school who was lifting, running and whatnot daily. Huge biceps he had. Huuge. But somehow they were hardly any stronger than my fatty ones [I always was chubby; never attended a gym; did some matrial arts]
once we were camping with that friend. Went out to get some timber. Voices in my head told me to climb/slide up one branchlesd thin tree. One-two and I'm hanging ~2 meters above the ground. Then my friend tried to show off his body strength and he could hardly slide 20cm [2 hands' repositions]
+ in the matrial arts trainings his hands were much slower thsn mine
after those incidents I'm convinced that bodybuilding is only good for the looks. After 9+4 hours of a work day I see no point in spending another 3 for a gym, for the looks I don't really need.
I'm a codebuilder, not a bodybuilder :) -
black-kite3071327d@netikras what’s the point of climbing up two meters into a tree?
what’s the point of lifting up 100kg?
Both are pointless in and of themselves but both could potentially have their purposes depending on the situation.
(I’m not a "body builder" myself although I do fitness exercises as a way of staying in shape) -
ars14081327d@netikras body building is silly, and full of drug abuse. But working out seriously is not, it is one of the best things you can do for your body. I spend 4 hours a week on it, and it also made me improve my nutrition. Quality of life is improved in general, in a lot of ways.
You just have to be careful to not become obsessed with looking like a comic book hero. -
llijaz310326d@netikras I agree. Bodybuilding is purely for astetics. Martial arts on the other hand brings tons of great benefits. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle while working 9-5 in front of a screen (:
