The Politics of Bodybuilding

Nationals was this weekend and I don't think I've ever seen a bigger show with so many great competitors.

That said, it was quite a disappointment. Many, many guys looked much better a week out from the show. It's quite obvious just how many guys tinker with too many things at the last minute only to end up looking worse. Diuretics are probably the worst thing to happen to bodybuilding.

But that's not what this post is about. It was also quite obvious that many people won that shouldn't have. I won't name names but each passing contest it becomes clearer that it's more about who you know in this sport than anything else.

Which is a damn shame.
