For most people, it's not sporting the posing trunks on stage that keeps them from entering a bodybuilding competition. Although that'll keep plenty away. It's the food, or lack of that comes with competition dieting that makes most normal folk vow to never cross that line.
There are a lot of misconceptions. I'm not hear to clear them up. I am here to confirm the fact that some of the food is tough to swallow. Although, to a starving man, anything tastes good. As you will see in this video. But I only eat like this, two days before a competition. Not every bodybuilder eats this, but plenty do.
Lack of sleep, bodyfat, chemical spray tan leeching into the brain and an overdose on chicken can make a guy a little goofy. Or maybe I'm just always this way. My wife is quick to remind me of my weirdness.
This is the shrunken down, dried out 172 lb Chad, last year at Empire.
