This Sport Is An Art form
Have you ever noticed how ignorant people tend on the aggregate not to be the most open minded, creative, passionate people in the world? Now I don’t want to color all ignorant people with the same brush, however let me just say this. Bodybuilding is an art form like it or not….and for all those who disagree, watch Pumping Irons 25th anniversary edition. Now who funded the film after the producer ran up a huge American Express bill while filming the movie? Short answer many people in the art community fascinated by what the Human Physique was capable of looking like when masterfully sculpted through handwork, dedication, and most importantly "Training Smart".
Most ignorant people follow everyone else’s lead, and don’t have a thought or opinion of their own…some are even scared to think for themselves…SCARY! They might ask me "Why", and I immediately ask them "Why Do You Care"? Look at guys like Jim Cordova who Get It and many of the great bodybuilder of the "Golden Era"….they also "Got It". Now I’m not saying allot of guys in the IFBB don’t get it today, but what I am saying is that there is also allot more criticism today…the comoradry of the 70s has all but vanished amongst most pros today. When I look at guys like Frank Zane, I see "Art", just look at his physique when he was in his prime…it’s incredible. And what I like even more about Zane is the fact that if you saw the guy in street clothes even in his prime he didn’t look "Freaky Big". This is an art from make no mistake about it….and art form which can change some lives for the better or worse depending on which path they choose to embark on. Like many art forms which are pushed to the edge, and deal with extremes. this art form is no different. Be happy, be proud you are part of community such as Bodspace where you can mingle with other "Artists", who have similar passions and desires…and who will ultimately help assist you in creating your own "Rembrant"!
