Bodybuilding is so gay. I don't mean the pursuit of fitness, strength training or weight lifting. I mean bodybuilding.

@tripu Building larger muscles is healthy, because there's more mitocondria.

@gasull

Yest. But building the largerest muscles is unhealthy. And very gay.

@tripu Not unhealthy. That's a myth. But growing muscles with some drugs can be unhealthy and lethal.

@gasull

Now seriously: don't you think there's an upper bound to “muscle growth that is healthy”? Of course excluding drugs. Don't you think that the most massive bodybuilder in the world who never took drugs, whoever that may be, would be healthier and have a higher life expectancy _if they had stopped growing muscle at some point earlier in their career_?

In any case, it's very gay :)

@tripu More muscle size is correlated with longer lifespan and healthspan, in all mammals. I don't think anybody has reached the upper bound.

It's probably gay, yeah. But I lived next to Castro in SF, and "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Gays fired up off the shoulder of Orion...".
