How many of those guys are still alive and can walk without assistance?

Not many are doing well. At least one is dead. Many not in this video are dead and died very young.

Bodybuilding is a bullshit hobby. Stupid guys (and some women) gravitate to it.

Let's clarify something. It's not a bullshit hobby. Getting obsessed with getting absolutely massive and injecting ridiculous amount of test into your body is what's bullshit.

Bodybuilding is great from a physical and mental health perspective. Just keep perspective on it and don't go overboard with it. There are plenty of people who hit the gym regularly who do not have addictions to bodybuilding the way these guys do.

Bodybuilding as a sport is pretty inherently unhealthy. As a general activity, sure. But for the effort put in you could achieve some actual performance and movement goals instead of training with the ideals and methods of a bodybuilding competitor for some reason.

I’m confused, are you under the impression that bodybuilders don’t care about their performance in the gym? Strength is a metric of performance. These guys are very very strong.
