What it says is; I care about myself, which is something I would like people to think.

Now, on the other hand, those guys (and ladies) who are 5′7″ and workout all day, everyday in order to get giant thighs and look like they’re not physically capable of “wiping” themselves, they’ve gone too far.

It’s one thing to sculpt your body and be proud of it, but when you get that big, naturally or unnaturally it is the same thing as just getting really fat, you’ve just gone the other direction in destroying your body, although it takes much more work and therefore could be construed as conscious self-abuse as they’ve made an effort to become massive, where as most overweight people it kinda sneaks up on.

Both are self-abuse, but the former is more so as it’s purposeful.

I hope that if we ever meet face to face you do not consider me to be full of myself based on my body composition and the fact that I enjoy lifting.

Also I think in comparison to the Mr Olympia body-builders of today, Arnold had a very lean and defined body, with a full range of motion and didn’t look abnormal or uncomfortable as they do these days.

I don’t mind if people look at me and say “he must workout”, but I would mind it people looked at me and said “he must be addicted to working out”.

Maybe I’m the only one that thinks this, but it is simply not my desire to be perceived that way.
