Why Do Bodybuilders Willingly Choose to Suffer?: Episode 30

Okay, maybe suffering is too strong of a word, or for some, not strong enough. That ambiguity is exactly why we decided to talk about this interesting topic essentially exploring "why people do hard things", from the lens of bodybuilding.

When you take an honest look at bodybuilding, its brutal; however, once you peel back the layers and examine just how much you can gain from such a transformative experience, you may understand why it is an endeavor people choose and often, fully embrace as a lifestyle.

Of course, bodybuilding is more on the extreme end of the resistance training spectrum; but, even those along any level who embrace the iron lifestyle can resonate with these notions so please do not feel that this is only for bodybuilders to listen to!

We can all gain insight into mindset, delayed gratification, loving the journey and much more from this so we look forward to hearing what you think! 😊


Here are some of the topics we cover:

  • Discussing the nature of suffering in bodybuilding

  • Colby’s reflection on his recent trip which posed a challenge to the bodybuilding journey; thus, invoking this notion of whether or not to continue an inherently difficult endeavor


  • The choice to embrace hardship; why anyone would ever consider such a thing


  • The journey of self discovery; not exclusive to bodybuilding but, perhaps nothing else quite like it


  • Discussing the pivotal role that anime plays in teaching valuable lessons similar to bodybuilding and how we use this as an advantageous tool


  • Intentionality in bodybuilding; delayed gratification at the highest degree


  • Authentic bodybuilding; not just a tag line, but a VALUE we hold dear to us and how discussing topics like this are more important than ever


     

Why do you actively choose to do hard things and why is that important to you? Let us know in the comments below!
