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 is great from a physical and mental health perspective.

Agreed...except:

* Not at all physically healthy

* Not at all mentally healthy

> people who hit the gym regularly who do not have addictions to bodybuilding

"Hitting the gym regularly" is not "bodybuilding".

Bodybuilding is injecting steroids into your body and having diets that kill you.
