I guess it’s all a preference. I wonder what the average person would look if put side by side with bodybuilders? My guess is that if these bodybuilders are “ugly” it wouldn’t say much for the average men!

A bodybuilder without Steroids is like the earth without water. Muscle mass just keeps breaking down more than rebuilding itself in a very slow manner & hence results in people looking like the pictures above. All the hard work they put in just keeps breaking down more muscle and results in malnutrition & the inability of the body to function accurately…..these people may be really hard working and very organized but its really not worth the effort. The efforts could be re-directed to something else and these people would be very successful no doubt about that & i muss confess i my self am a little of a health freak but god all mighty these people are ugly!!!

Many of them look like they could be potentially attractive if they were normal, could be being the key word. You know, simple balanced diet, around 2000 cals, fit, but not this fit, OR TAN and look attractive, but all that bulk on their shoulders and legs, chest, is repulsive really.

The thing that bothers me, really, is the extreme over-bronzing. The guy who looks like he’s wearing blackface…that’s just silly.

People should stop trying to justify these people. If they are ugly, they are ugly, no compromising. You don’t need to know anything about the sport to know you find a person ugly. The thing is, why would you want to consciously do this to yourself if you know it will make you a ugly cave troll? Try and justify that!
I find them ugly and I’m not talking about their faces, but I think such pronounced muscles and vanes are ugly. Body fat makes you pretty too. Having some muscle shaping is nice and all, but having the skin being wrapped around the muscles and vanes are way to suggestive about the inner works of a human body, which I find disgusting. Skin and body fat, of which not to much, are the basics of human aesthetics.
Talking about stupidity now Jacob, everyone already takes into account what you told, however why the hell would the work of a body-builder ever influence your opinion about looks? You take it out of context.
I don’t care the why or how of a body-builder, I just know I find it atrocious to look at.

I don’t even see the need for the clothes. It doesn’t look like either gender has anything underneath it ;D Ken dolls..

The third guy is way too pale as well. He needs another lathering of streaky bronzer, pronto!

Wow so much stupidity here

Ugly? Yes, it’s not the bodybuilding though, these particular people are just not very good looking. A lot of bodybuilders are models. Don’t believe me? Look up Stan McQuay, Travis Wojcik and Shane Giese.
This also appears to be a “Masters” contest as most of the contestants appear quite older.

Shrunken Penises? No, there is not a steroid (or any drug that i know of) that will shrink a penis. The testes can atrophy slightly from exogenous hormone use but that is not a permanent state and can be prevented by using something known as HCG. These bodybuilders aren’t very big either, i’d say most could very well be natural… if you want to see truly big, look up Ronnie Coleman or watch a Mr. Olympia competition.

Is bodybuilding healthy? Bodybuilding has NEVER been about health, it is about creating a physique that looks like a statue chiseled out of granite. You don’t get judged on stage based on how low your cholesterol level is.

Beauty? Bodybuilding is NOT a beauty contest, the main thing the judges look for is definition, amount of muscle separation and symmetry. The tiny speedos are used to show off the striations in the glute muscles if your body fat is low enough. These people KNOW they aren’t hot stuff, they don’t care about that, they want the first place win. You can be the uglies person on earth but if you meet the above criteria you will win the show, again it’s not a beauty contest.

The tan. It’s not a normal tan, it’s weeks of tanning, combined with a spray tan, combined with a coat of “paint” that washes off after showering. It looks hideous but the contests are held under bright fluorescent lighting and if you aren’t extremely dark, your hard work will not show at all. The oil makes the muscles stand out more under the lights as well.

Please educate yourselves a bit, outside of the show these people look nothing like this year round.
