So recently, I've been thinking why the hell I come on here. To me, bodybuilding has always been a small elite group of people that have a vast knowledge on training, dieting and hormones.
More and more lately I've been thinking it is very comparable to magicians. A small group of people that know the "Secrets". And why do magicians not give out their secrets?? Because it wouldn't be magic anymore, people would know all the tricks. Then the people that know the tricks perform their tricks and tell them to other people. Sooner or later their job is no longer a skilled elite group. What made them special was the fact that nobody knew what they were doing.
Recently, I've seen more and more people come on here and many of them are young. A lot douche bags who are 19 and getting their information the easy way. As in they also want the easy way out to build muscle and take steroids with no real knowledge of the sport. When I was younger I never had anything like this. Would I have liked it? Of course I would, who wouldn't. But I'm glad I learned my knowledge of bodybuilding the way I did.
I hate to say it but lately I've been seeing more and more people in better shape whether it be at the gym, beach etc etc...And I believe that reason is because it is so easy access information on the internet now about diet and exercise. It kind of does make me a little bit angry inside after I had to learn my knowledge of training over years and years while others now days are just "googling" or going on a forum asking how to get shredded.
Should we really make it that easy for them? Back to my magician example, they never give out their secrets. If someone wants to learn the tricks they need to go to magician school, read books, practice etc etc...The ones who really have a love for magic and want to learn have to spend many years learning the "Secret".
And honestly, like the magicians I like being an elite group. Carrying knowledge that know one else knows about. If they want to learn the trade then they can bust their ass to learn it. I'm really debating giving out free advice anymore.
If we keep giving out our special knowledge soon everyone will know about it and it will not be that special anymore to have a good body. Just like magic tricks would be meaningless if everyone knew them.
I say, if people want to learn it they can bust their ass and learn it the way I learned it. That will make them worthy of the sport.
Anyone else sort of agree with me??
