Vigilance in the art of bodybuilding can cause temptations to indulge in enhancing substances such as steroids and other substances some of which nay be banned and hence not fit for any workout or competition. It is a feeling of having a condition that makes be over obsessed with yourself. Among a bodybuilder who is driven by this condition, there is always a tendency to feel hatred creeping in no matter the progress you are making. The ideals one has become unattainable since there is no yardstick to measure the extent of enhancement in appearance that will impress you.

This is the only reason this becomes harmful. In addition, Muscle dysmorphia can cause bodybuilders to spend more time in the gym mirror than on the bar lifting weights. They will be keener on making comparisons with other people rather than liking the positive traits they may be possessing. They hate their images and this is enough to cause distress and miss a bodybuilding session and triple the intake of meals. Overweight is taken as underweight in the eyes of these people. They excessively exercise to the extent that they lose interest in family members. The most extreme cases can be when they start removing or injecting fluids into appendages.

There are other issues in bodybuilding. The last time a body building was held, all eyes were focused and everyone checked out to see this superb man who would end up as the contest winner, just to be disappointed by the judges with the choice of the man who was the least expected to win or if I may say; the under dog. As the judges read out the qualities that featured the event it was all boos from the crowd and many people walked out and protested. It may have not featured or their voices may have not counted but surely it had an impact that will show later in the career.


When one chooses body building they adopt a diet that they have to strictly follow, at times some bodybuilders choose a dangerous diet and they starve making their bodies strain in maintaining its own metabolism. Others adopt diets that are not balanced and hence lack of a balanced diet leads to some critical diseases. It is good to have a fat build up of muscle mass but also this leads to over-stretch in the skin, and eventually stretch marks appear making your body appear non proposition in the later stages when you eventually stop exercising a flabby skin will be observed and this makes your appearance not appealing at all.

Let body building be a gradual process in order for all the parts of the body to adopt and adjust. At times people feel ashamed of opening up to others on their progress but even if you don’t tell anyone make sure you do it on your own severally to see if any changes are happening and this will help you make decisions. Just like the saying goes only the strong will survive. When you come on stage it is a matter of your ability to impress the judges and pass out as the best.
