No more wiping your ass, tying your fucking shoes, or even just picking up something you dropped.
You basically become physically disabled at a certain point once your body turns into a giant mass of muscles.
They're basically the equivalent of those shapeless blobs you see riding scooters around walmart.

Then again, if you've got the money for all the chemicals/drugs/gym time you need to achieve that look, they probably already have a small army of servants at home to take care of the basics.

how misinformed are you? It's the most cliche thing to say ever, but totally false. They are flexible and very very strong. They can do most normal tasks fine and they have enormous amounts of "functional strength" as DYELS try to say they do not.

Just outed yourself as a dyel nigger.

Yes, he looks really good from a bodybuilding POV, but he has a few weak points though, as any top tier competing bodybuilder has, some more so than others.
His back is not really too wide, but, believe it or not, rather lacks some depth and seperation in comparsion to some bodybuilders he regularly competes against. Don't get me wrong, he still has a very, very good back, but still, some backs are better (not many though).
Roelly also has a rather poor structure, no way to change that.
And his biggest issue seems to be that he sometimes has serious problems to dial in his condition. He sometimes holds too much water. Don't really fault with him being so massive.
What really speaks for him from a BB POV is his almost unreal mass, especially his arms. Roelly is in the top 5 of best arms ever in pro BB, not only in my book. And he learned to keep his bubble gut in check on stage (from time to time)
BTW: Yates was such a good bodybuilder who combined crazy mass with unreal condition and a very good structure. He looked insane. But he also had a "weakness": His arms (forearms excluded), especially after he tore one of his biceps. Was good enough for 6 consecutive Mr Olympias, though...

Act.

Hollywood does but nobody cares about elite bodybuilders because they're disgusting circus freaks.

Well, Roelly Winklaar, the bodybuilder in OP's pic, can do a backflip on stage, as he did a couple of times. So there are exception to the rule. You are right, most super massive bodybuilders are not very "athletic"...
They don't have to be though, at least not for bodybuilding contests

Their PED use has grown so out of control they all look like freaks. 100% of them are on hgh and insulin so their guts extend grotesquely,. It's much easier and better PR to go buy PEDs for your male actors and tell people it was an 8 month transformation with a strict diet.

Every bodybuilder I met was a manlet, one even openly admitted it was his insecurity about his height that lead him to get into it. "being in shape" or improving yourself is one thing, turning yourself into a bloated mutant is another, and these guys have gone too far. I am 100% certain the obsession to get as swole as fuck stems from insecurity, if not height then tiny penis

Just a lucky guess

Martin Ford is a big, big guy, yes.
Real bodybuilder? Not really.
Doesn't compete, and if he did, even mid-tier competing amateurs would wipe the floor with him from a bb POV. He has a very poor structure, shitty arms, shitty back, shitty legs and he would have to drop gallons of water to dial in his condition.
He is still a monster though and I bet he is very happy with not competing.

Seriously dudes, just fucking do it. I know you want to because I used to be just like you. I thought guys that lifted were nutsacks and lacked personality. What I realized when I started going to the gym is that you feel 100 times better and it makes you want to make other goals in your life to surpass. You only hate these people because you are too lazy to actually better yourself, but it doesn't have to be that way. There is a depression epidemic because people weren't meant to spend most of their life watching t.v. and sitting on their ass. Our bodies are designed to be active.

nah, bodybuilders are insecure faggots

you find plenty of guys in the gym who look like mostly normal guys just a bit bigger and they're just as strong as the insane-looking bloated bodybuilding monstrosities

bbs are just in it for the pure aesthetics, not functionality, and at that point you're indistinguishable from a woman

Two of the most well known bodybuilders of all time are over 6'0 tall. I'm 6'2 and I love lifting and cardio. Stop being a little bitch and better yourself. Stop trying to shit on people who do and rationalize why you're better for not being that way. It's seriously pathetic.

>c-c-cope
Poor lil insecure bodybuiler's brain can't take any criticism and instantly reverts to kneejerk responses. How adorable.

i think you potato heads fail to understand the concepts of "moderation" and "going too far". No on ehas a problem with dudes working out, people are saying these fucking uber-jacked assholes look like freaks, which they do.

>Just as strong.

Neets have no excuse not to lift, you should try it sometime.

Oh I would like to know where this gym is where you can find plenty of guys who look mostly like normal guys just a bit bigger who are just as strong as bb monstrosities

If you actually lifted, or did anything, you'd know that setting limits is for people that are just going to quit. There are no limits to what you can do. Why the fuck would you do the same thing every time you exercised? The people that do that get bored and quit, and honestly, they don't really get that far. Keep being a dumb faggot though. I'm sure it's working out great for you.

>so your oiled up body can be positively judged by other males in a beauty pageant
don't forget that they are GAY, RICH and OLD men who judge you in those beauty pageants, and that a popular way to earn the money needed for all the illegal drugs that do most of the work in modern bodybuilding is "gay for pay". insecure men are ruining their bodies and performing homosexual acts to earn money so they can then win an award handed out by the same homosexuals who the rest of the year pay them to perform homosexual acts with them. even fapping to traps would be less gay than being a serious bodybuilder today.

From a business perspective it certainly did not, from an aesthetic perspective (whatever that might be), it surely did. But there are still enough good aesthetically pleasing amateurs and pros out there.

>he can’t see the irony in his own post
The cope continues. I bet you can’t even do 20 pushups.

the "aesthetic" categories are a false hope. these dudes have access to the same drugs as the bigger dudes, meaning they don't actually work for their gains either. they just do the same shit everyone else does and adjust their doses so they turn into "aesthetic" mode rather than the veiny blob. at that point the competition becomes 100% insertion / symmetry / bone structure genetics and to a lesser degree "politics". bodybuilding only lived when the competition about being the biggest and leanest, and the competition about "aesthetics" were one and the same. the moment pure lean mass exceeded what is aesthetically pleasing to a normal, unconditioned observer the sport died and turned into a freak show for faggots and pandora's box cannot be closed again. drug testing wouldn't solve the problem either. just let it go.

no way Colton

Pain & Gain proved otherwise.

>a retarded Slav who injected synthol is aesthetically the same as a bodybuilder

>Pandora's box cannot be closed again
I agree
>these dudes have access to the same drugs as the bigger dudes, meaning they don't actually work for their gains either
Well, it actually is still some work to do. Regularly lifting, injecting, dieting and often eating huge amounts of foods can get quite tedious. I see where you are getting at though
>at that point the competition becomes 100% insertion / symmetry / bone structure genetics and to a lesser degree "politics"
I don't fully agree, there is still some dieting involved pre contest (you can only do so much drugs/diuretics to cover up your lack of proper dieting) and there still is a LOT of politics involved
>bodybuilding only lived when the competition about being the biggest and leanest, and the competition about "aesthetics" were one and the same
Yes, I see. Serious question: When do you think the downfall truly began? Early 90s?
>the sport died and turned into a freak show for faggots
Competitive high tier bodybuilding yes, but there are still some serious good bb out there, believe me. Some don't even do social media stuff

they are using The Rock for all that shit. One is enough.

Because 99.9% don't even posess the slightest amount of talent and charisma. I know nowadays many actors don't, but bodybuilders in particular. Have you ever talked to high tier bodybuilder? Let me tell you: They have the charisma of a cupboard. They are just plain boring, and that is an overstatement.
Connections they also don't have.

>neet describing what having a job is like
how about no, faggot

>When do you think the downfall truly began?
I think Arnold was a tad too big but this was masked by his talent for posing. He made it work. But then Zane still won after him (implying shit wasn't fucked yet). To me Nubret and Zane were the pinnacle of aesthetics when each of them were their leanest. The BBers of the "golden era" were already slightly too big, but the step over the line was exciting and it's understandable that they kept pushing and people kept paying attention. The exact turning point would be around 1970, possibly earlier. All five of the men in this image (1972 according to one article) have features that are simply too big. And it's quite easy to spot them because unlike the 80s and beyond it is only individual features that stick out from an otherwise well-rounded physique. The upper arms are too big on all five men except Franco. Nubret's chest and traps are too big. Arnold's abs can't keep up with the rest of his torso and the solution isn't to get bigger abs, it's to not overgrow the rest. Zane is caught in a bad pose, it really is just the upper arms in his case that break the illusion of "could be a freak of nature". Franco's lats overpower his other features. Sergio is not lean enough, aside from upper arms that's the main problem there.

Basically, each of these men's "signature strengths" imo are actually weaknesses when the idea is being the sculptor and the marble and creating something impressive and pleasant to look at, a marvel for civilized spectators, not a primitive freak attraction for "acquired taste" fetishists. Hollywood directors were right to tell Arnold he was too big and he should slim down. He was too big and he looked better in Conan and Predator than he ever looked on stage.

the only things giving away that this is not a natural lifter with freak genetics are the pecs and perhaps the biceps. at first glance you might miss these and be fooled. this is visually what we're all hardwired to respect as a natural leader. we cannot help but respect this man at the very first glance. if we're still young we hope to one day turn out just like him and if we're old we hope to have him on our side for security and prosperity.

when I look at dorian yates
or this bizarre clown
I don't even see a man. I see exactly what all the modern BB ads talk about, "a beast", "a monster", "an animal".

body building went from young men seeking the admiration of women and the honest respect of men to now young men who are running quite literally from their own humanity. piano wasn't joking about that. leave humanity behind. bodybuilding has become an anti-social pursuit.

it comes from obsession with one's own body and from a general passion for visual aesthetics. I think about cars or planes in a similar way. what does the perfect sportscar look like? what is the shape and material of the coolest possible fighter jet? btw you're forgiven for inferring a gay theme as it's impossible to talk about bodybuilding past 1980 and not have it in the back of your mind.

muscle tank meaning what? of course no "great man" in a non-BB or entertainment context has ever bothered to roid and weigh 230 pounds lean. but men in shape? men who were fit at least when they were young? many, you just wouldn't know it from looking at a picture of them as a 50+ year old wearing a suit or other clothing "great men" typically wear in portraits / photographs. "great men" don't tend to be under 40 and they don't tend to take beach photos.

Because most bodybuilders look like disgusting freaks.

wow I never realized bronson was tom hardy,
though the only other movie I've seen him in is fury road
he did a great job desu, I loved bronson

actual pro bodybuilders don't look aesthetic anymore, they look like disgusting belgian blue cow human hybrids

A few non meme reasons
1. I think the entertainment industry culture has shifted to the point where it's no longer worth taking the risk on someone who may make or break a role by taking a gamble on casting them when you have no idea what kind of talent you're working with. Today more than ever actors and actresses seem more willing to actually get in shape and get fit for a role so there's not as much need to cast someone who's in shape for a living and doesn't know how to act when you can just put a regular joe actor on roids, give him the best diet coaches and fitness instructors who can morph them into exactly what you want them to look like for the role.
2. I don't mean to be insulting but look at bodybuilders from the 70s and 80s back when it was more common to hire bodybuilders for roles and compare them to OP's pic from more recently. The difference is night and day, OP's pic related might be acceptable in a BB competition but looks completely unaesthetic and unappealing to most people outside the Bodybuilding community. I would also imagine many bodybuilders wouldn't be willing to actually slim down to a more aesthetic physique and risk hurting their career as a pro bodybuilder to play a role in a movie when they don't know if they will even continue to get work as an actor.
