the trope of bodybuilders being so serious about the "psychology" of their sport, something that dates back to the film version of pumping iron, is deeply fascinating given that the sport involves shaving, oiling up, doing lots of repetitions with weights, and taking steroids
what, exactly, is this "mental game?" it's mostly just following a tedious, repetitive routine and then doing some poses / hustling some fans / selling some supplements. and yet many bodybuilders talk about their strategies for success as if they were splitting the atom
i mean, when my bodyweight drops from 230-240 to 205-210, i look pretty ripped, and when it's heavier, i look heavier. the high-tech steroid usage on their end is interesting, but most of them don't talk about that for fear of alienating "the fans" or "the feds."
