Is it true that bodybuilding mags present an unrealistic image of bodybuilders?
There’s a guy on the Internet who claims to be an amateur bodybuilder, but he looks kind of fat in his photos. He says that the bodybuilding magazines present an unrealistic image of bodybuilders, because the guys in the photos and in the competitions often deplete their muscles to a certain point, so that their musculature will be accentuated. Is this at all true, or is it a lie?

Well, I’m no professional body builder. I have a job so I don’t have the time to spend 8 hours in a gym. I work out 3-5 days a week only for about an hour each of those days.
Compared to professionals that spend their entire day in the gym, I definitely slack far behind. But when I look in the mirror or take photos, I do not look fat at all. So, I’m not sure if what your friend says about bodybuilders is true. But I do know, that if he himself looks fat, it means just that, that he’s fat, and that he doesn’t work out as much as he claims to.
