After reaching the peak in the first half of the 80s, bodybuilding had to suffer all the colors. Today we rarely hear about this sport and people, making a big mistake of assessment, prefer to talk about fitness.
All this distrust of bodybuilding is not entirely unfounded.
Certainly you can't hold on to people by proposing models that are one meter and 80 by 130 kilos and those who limit themselves to observing things without going deeper can only take their distance.
The country's bullies with their tight tank tops and their false superiority attitudes then contributed to the spread, also fueled a bit by envy towards them, of the urban legend according to which the equation holds: "large muscles small brain, not to mention something else ".
TV certainly does not help because it offers a group of puppets wearing tuxedos that focus on irony and intelligence rather than on the physical. For heaven's sake, nothing wrong, but a few pounds of less fat and a little extra muscle certainly wouldn't hurt.
The result of all this could only be one: today many people criticize bodybuilding without knowing its true meaning.
If we see a dish presented poorly or with an uninviting appearance, we probably reject it when it is perhaps the best thing in the world. Well, the same thing happens with the sport on time.
In reality the term bodybuilding simply indicates the ability to shape the body according to one's aesthetic canons. So if a person likes fat and eats at will he is practicing fatbuilding . Those who focus on intelligence and knowledge follow brainbuilding, etc. etc.
Who uses anabolic steroids to become huge, is making a lifestyle choice, no less criticizable than those who resort to unfair stratagems to make a career. In this case it is no longer bodybuilding, but bodydestroyng because the body builds these substances on one side and undoes it on the other.
The position of those who take an endless list of supplements to improve their physique is no better. In this case it is a person who looks for shortcuts, who does not believe in his own strength and is always looking for the easiest way to get what he wants, we can talk about falsebuilding in this case .
So bodybuilding is a lifestyle choice, everyone has their own aesthetic ideal and pursues it with more or less determination depending on the importance they attach to it.
The most coveted physicist is both for the male and female audiences, and for the models (obviously leaving out the anorexic bodies that are paraded back and forth along the catwalks).
Fitnessbuilding was born to achieve this goal so far from the common bodybuilding imagination . But above all the unfounded fear has spread that certain exercises or lifting heavy loads turn your body into a mass of muscles.
Too bad this reasoning has no scientific basis. For hormonal issues, each of us has a limit of muscle building far from the models proposed by bodybuilding.
Unaware of this fundamental aspect, people nowadays prefer to use isotonic machines, which are really useful only for beginners who do not have the level of coordination necessary to deal with free weight exercises. Some knowledgeable entrepreneurs have taken advantage of it by filling the Italian gyms with expensive but ineffective machinery and introducing the concept of wellnessbuilding .
Too bad that a soft approach can only lead to soft results.
I believe that the physicality of Italians has worsened to the point of making the choice of wellnessbuilding almost mandatory. In fact, even fitnessbuilding has become a model that is too difficult to reach and a belief has spread that true well-being means keeping a little bit of bacon and doing some light physical activity from time to time.
If we continue like this then wellnessbuilding will become impractical and in futurebuilding we will only buy telesales tools, without actually using them.
But let's go back to our days, today fortunately the watchword is still "Sculpted but not too muscular". Only that this goal has become so difficult to reach that one is satisfied even with a less defined physique.
The real bodybuilding can stop this phenomenon and give people the conviction that with the right perseverance can get the physique he has always dreamed of.
Bodybuilding is dedication, commitment, determination and respect for one's body. And from this point of view it has nothing to envy to other sports.
It is not easy to learn to love him immediately, it takes a while to do it. I understand the embarrassment and the distrust of those who struggle to lift 20 kilos on a flat bench when they have a hyper-tanned and hyper-tanned boy nearby who raises 150. "It's not for me, it is obvious that he takes stuff so I will never get a body like the his "are the inevitable conclusions.
A person's determination is seen in moments of difficulty and this is one of them. Overcoming it and believing in your own means is the first step towards achieving your goals.
Believing in one's own means is a priority in life and bodybuilding teaches how to do it. Of course, I know you, you don't need bodybuilding to feel more confident as you prefer to bet on other qualities. But aren't you hiding behind an excuse? Would you really not want a better physique? Be honest ... And with women? Yes, I know that women do not only look at the physical, but sooner or later you will also have to go to bed and if you do, excuse the term, you do not get upright because of the embarrassment and partly because you have the levels testosterone test of a 90-year-old man what do you do? Yes I know it never happened to you but then how do you explain the increasingly widespread use of viagra, aphrodisiacs and the like?
Two words on natural bodybuilding : natural bodybuilding is a term coined to establish and emphasize the canons of what real bodybuilding is. The two terms are therefore synonyms, although unfortunately this is not always the case.
We must also specify that there are athletes who at first sight seem natural but who actually dope and others for whom the opposite is true.
An obese of 250 kilos is certainly not an ordinary person. And in many cases, in addition to mountains of food, there are also important hormonal dysfunctions.
If this is true for an obese why should it not be for a bodybuilder? Does one gain 200 kilos of fat naturally and the other cannot gain 20 muscles without doping?
Will it not be by chance that too often we reach hasty conclusions just because we do not have the same genetics, but above all the same determination of the bodybuilding champions?
