Ep. 206 - Is the day you start lifting the day you become forever small?

If comparison is the thief of joy, then what hope do competitive bodybuilders have for happiness? In a sport where you stand before a panel of strangers who numerically rate your nearly nude body in comparison to others, you'd think it'd be impossible. But is it? What happens to bodybuilders' body image over time? Is it true that whether they place 3rd at the all-valley "championships" or 1st at worlds, they still feel small? If it's not true, why not, to what degree, and in what circumstances? In this episode, we explore whether or not it's true that the day you start lifting is the day you become forever small, and how this mindset can manifest, change, and differ between groups and individuals.
