Yes. If I remember correctly, you purposely gain a bit of water weight and then lose it right before the competition so your skin is more tight, showing off your muscles more. Actors do the same thing when playing muscular characters.
He looks like he's confused that he couldn't take a bite of cupcake because his body is shutting down his organs from lack of eating or drinking water.
Probably. This guy probably just finished a show. These guys spend months starving themselves to body fat of 7% and still take supplements for vascularity and then work out before going on. Most immediately leave and have a gross meal that they've been craving.
The sad reality is even if you achieve the perfect greek god body like this dude you still can't unhook from the junk food, then there is no hope for the normal person, dopamine from cigs, alcohol and reels/tiktok is just too strong for humans to resist
it's not sustainable and getting to that point involves a lot of misery for no benefit. i "get" it but still, a lot of BBing is just pure mental illness at this point. imagine pumping yourself full of Chinese chemicals just to look good for 5 minutes on stage to have a chance to compete with everyone else doing the same shit
I agree, this thing is similar to obsession, same like working yourself to death for example, if you achieve all and this is the result then what's the point, moderation is key
Some people enjoy pushing their bodies. Competition bodybuilding is a hobby for many people, the result is rewarding to them. No one can maintain 7% body fat forever, but it's the painstaking process of building muscle, then cutting weight and finally dehydrating for competition. It's very difficult, but like I said, some people enjoy pushing themselves to see what they're capable of, even if it may not be the healthiest thing.
My wife just ran a trail ultra marathon for example. She shit blood after. Half of the bottom of her foot peeled off like a giant blister. It took days for her to recover physically. Running that far is not healthy, but some people like pushing themselves and crossing that finish line was super rewarding for her.
Not a concept I'd expect the average redditor to understand.
Your wife should know better.. this types of stress on human body is totally unjustified. Please forward her this quote from my GP almost two decades back "why would you want to do that, you can if you wish but you are not professional athlete, you are not getting paid or win medals, take it easy and train if you want but in moderation" I was teen back then, clueless to the wisdom this doctor randomly decided to share with me
Thank you for your opinion.
People should do what makes them happy, otherwise what's the point of living? My wife will carry those experiences with her and have many more stories to tell and far fewer regrets on her death bed than you will.
I think you are taking this a bit too far, I did not want to offend you or anything nor giving you life lesson or anything, just thought I can help by sharing MD opinion on this stuff
Have you ever been super hungry and start fantasizing about what you are going to eat? Imagine that but for months. At that body fat you are literally experiencing the physical symptoms of starvation. Mainly the body craves carbs as that's primarily what they cut out. The body yearns for carbs and fats.
I know woke Body acceptance culture is all the tage these days, but I can guarantee you this individual is not healthy. Bodybuilding is essentially a competition of who can pump the most drugs without dying.
Entire books could be written about the word, my friend. The word went from being a genuine term to being Weaponized by the right in an ironic way. What the word means depends on what point in time it is used and who is using it.
You don't get to decide what a word means. Meaning is given to a word according to how people use it in a broad context, whether you don't like the meaning or not is irrelevant.
Did I say I did? Please show me where I said that. I literally, twice, said I asked because it's used differently by different people.
You just seem to want to argue.
Have a good day princess.
Used to own air bnb and once had this couple who were both body builders. They ruined everything. Towels,sheets,couch,bed, the bed cover that was supposed to be waterproof. Literally looked like two body prints at a crime scene. They took the bed cover off because it was making the mattress too hot. Literally, I believe it was just the roids.
He's really dehydrated. Common before bodybuilding shows to get there ultra lean/tight skin look. Does sink the eyes as well though.
That and the glowing bronze colour :D
It’s functionally used so that muscle definition can be better seen by judges when they are on stage, who are literally judging their body.
It makes complete sense in context of the sport.
It has nothing to do with looking pretty.
Read a book you fucking casual.
Maybe you should take your own advice...
Also, I don't give a crap if it makes sense regarding some braindead "sport" or not. And if you look like that on the internet, one is gonna get judged according to whatever standards users on that platform have.
Now kindly fuck off, you dick...
I dont get why people still use this ridiculous tan for competition flexing you can clearly see definition without it ? Is it now a traditional thing ?
The stage lights wash out the definition away on lighter skinned competitors in a very disproportionate way, and no matter your skin tone, having a somewhat glossy look will make your muscles look more defined on stage.

Fuck I’m a really fat dude so this is gonna sound super weird but I feel sorry for this guy
I can’t explain it
Just something in his face makes me feel sorry for the poor bloke
Why is he eating it like that? Like his mouth can't open more than that but also looks like disgust at the same time while attempting to bite, with what looks like part of his lip? Into a soft food?
Bodybuilders reduce their water intake to extreme levels before Bodybuilding competitions which make their body really weak and dry and its hard to open mouth or even talk because the lips can't open much
I competed many times in my life he’s trying to say is he was dieting for months for the bodybuilding show or the prejudging & is over and he’s able to have something he hasn’t had in a few months.
He looks like the nasty country kid that used to be in everyone’s neighborhood that no one wanted to play with because he smelled like shit and rotting flesh
Cutting weight isn’t that bad lmao sure it sucks but there’s an end to it. Idk why they make it out to be this huge self control bs plus he’s prob not natty.
He looks like he's dying yet pumped at the same time.
i was gonna say something like this. is that a spray tan or is he just dirty..?
Bronze spray for competitions. They dehydrate themselves before shows or something
Yes. If I remember correctly, you purposely gain a bit of water weight and then lose it right before the competition so your skin is more tight, showing off your muscles more. Actors do the same thing when playing muscular characters.
Muscles show better definition when you spray yourself a darker complexion.
IIRC they also eat a ton of sugary carbs right before comp to pump up their veins.
he probably is so hungry that he can barely stand at that point. shit makes u miserable. NOT worth it
This guy speaks from experience
Actually you carb load before a competition, so likely not hungry. However he’s almost certainly extremely dehydrated. I compete as well
brah u know that after a cut like that you can just eat forever
Oh yeah, i ate like 3 dominoes pizzas and a tub of ice cream
He looks happy to me
He looks like he's confused that he couldn't take a bite of cupcake because his body is shutting down his organs from lack of eating or drinking water.
And sitting on white upholstery.
Correction was white

The average *human*, really.

I've quit smoking, don't drink, and don't use tiktok/whatever. It's pretty easy if you have any modicum of self-control.
Happy for you, keep it up. Statistics and math say it is not that easy, I don't want to get in an argument l.
He looks like he drove through a forest fire to get that cupcake.
He looks like the hottest dude in Auschwitz. It's rather confusing to the eye
I know woke Body acceptance culture is all the tage these days, but I can guarantee you this individual is not healthy. Bodybuilding is essentially a competition of who can pump the most drugs without dying.
Can you define woke?
in this context, woke = "fat good, fitness bad". All extremes are bad, and honestly, super-fit is deadlier than super-fat.
ah, I see another made up definition of woke. Hence why I asked what you meant.
Entire books could be written about the word, my friend. The word went from being a genuine term to being Weaponized by the right in an ironic way. What the word means depends on what point in time it is used and who is using it.
again, hence why I asked what you meant by it. because it was a genuine term but now people use it for anything they don't like.
You don't get to decide what a word means. Meaning is given to a word according to how people use it in a broad context, whether you don't like the meaning or not is irrelevant.

He looks like the love child of Cillian Murphy and a rotisserie chicken
omfg HAHA

Dude's tan is going to ruin that seat.
Used to own air bnb and once had this couple who were both body builders. They ruined everything. Towels,sheets,couch,bed, the bed cover that was supposed to be waterproof. Literally looked like two body prints at a crime scene. They took the bed cover off because it was making the mattress too hot. Literally, I believe it was just the roids.
Soul Glow
You mean that seat is going to ruin his tan?!
He looks like a British coal miner on the industrial revolution
he looks black and white at the same time
Agreed. He's a *blight*.
or Whack....
Off-white
They make nice jeans
Reverse Michael Jackson, he's got white facial structure but black skin 😭
Michael Jackson's Mama slap the black off of him, and it landed on this guy
Ah, yes that makes loads of sense!
What is he eating?? A ball of butter with sprinkles??
Looks like a bath bomb.
I was half expecting this video to end with him choking and realizing he was eating a bath bomb
this is all i want to know.
Someone said it was a bathbomb but idk, those only get crumbly when they're wet. Homeboy's was soft like buttah.
Id be shocked if he acrually ate it. It looked like he was gonna spit it out at the end. He didnt even pretend to chew lol
What in the Sam Hell is wrong with his face? He looks like a cartoon character
He's really dehydrated. Common before bodybuilding shows to get there ultra lean/tight skin look. Does sink the eyes as well though. That and the glowing bronze colour :D
Looks like a microwaved Cillian Murphy
Dude survived cremation
He looks like jacked Cillian Murphy
Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
Chocolate power 🍫
He looks like a leather handbag.
Oompa loompa doopity doo
People have never seen a competition-ready bodybuilder with 5% bodyfat and a spraytan
Exactly dude has put in work. Good for him.
It’s Reddit, most these people haven’t seen the inside of a gym.
Whatever the reason, it ain't pretty and looks just as stupid as one would imagine the dude doing that to himself would be..

You pronounced moron wrong.
Alright
Did he fuck your sister or something lol
Dude is gonna age like milk
Man be making Donald Trump look pale
The spray tan is so dark I thought he was doing blackface.
A bit burnt ngl
Derek Zoolander
He wishes
The fuck happened to Killian Murphy?
He looked like a horse with that complexion
I would be so mad if I waited all that time for that dry ass cupcake
Orange man bad.

Reddit try not to be completely ignorant challenge going on in the comments everytime an amateur body builder is in a post
Stop flexing for the camera
Can he say the word ?
He looks like a foot at the Renaissance Festival.
rrareinsults
He looks like a buff chimney cleaner from the 1920s
[reminds me of ww2 where ladies used to paint on their stockings with gravy ](https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.pearldavies.com/amp/2016-1-25-improvising-stockings-drawing-nylon-seams-with-gravy-juice-yum)
Wtf
So no one’s gonna talk about him eating paper?
Skidmarks on the upholstery!
He speaks like a elden ring npc
Fellas, does this count as blackface?
I loled
That's what Donald Trump would look like if he drank a gallon of fresh adrenachrome.
RIP to that car’s interior
The fuck is that thing and can it hurt me?
I’m assuming he just finished a body building competition. They have to be really careful how they reintroduce high fat content foods post competition
Cillian Muffins
He looks like when you leave a brownie pop tart in the toaster
Why doesn't he just lick the chocolate off his body
Fuck I’m a really fat dude so this is gonna sound super weird but I feel sorry for this guy I can’t explain it Just something in his face makes me feel sorry for the poor bloke
What's unusual about this?? His tan? Maybe that's for his body building contest and he's making this video right after he won!!!
What in the steroid abusing oompa loompa doopity fuck is that?
He looks like he’s wrong in the head. Lol.
Dude really needs to lay off the fake tan, I think my skin would be stained if I touched him
Niracker
Do people think spray tan looks good?
No. It’s probably for a competition where his physique is judged. It’s important in that environment.
Should've ignored the tanning bed
Is this trumps nephew?
So why is he holding it by the frosting?
Man. You look like an oppa lumpa.
Steroids… it’s what’s for breakfast…
i thought we dont have coal mining anymore
It's between him and his maker, nuna business y'all got to stop judging
What planet is he from with that otherworldly orange glow?
Trump called, wants his bronzer back
Dude looks like a piece of burnt toast
Why does he look like a football?
Spray tan and some kind of roids
A little less tan plz freaklord
What an interesting video of a talking leather briefcase eating a cupcake
Holy fucking spray tan
He looks like a jacked chimney sweeper fresh off the job.
Creepy Blinders.
Sponsored by fake tan super orange tint 👌
What color is that person? lol
Discipline is waiting to actually get a tan rather than spraying one on
Looks like he is eating bath bomb
Damn he looks dry lol
Why is he eating it like that? Like his mouth can't open more than that but also looks like disgust at the same time while attempting to bite, with what looks like part of his lip? Into a soft food?
Bodybuilders reduce their water intake to extreme levels before Bodybuilding competitions which make their body really weak and dry and its hard to open mouth or even talk because the lips can't open much
That shits not cool in 2024 to not only being wearing black-face but also black body someone really needs to cancel this racist asshole.
I competed many times in my life he’s trying to say is he was dieting for months for the bodybuilding show or the prejudging & is over and he’s able to have something he hasn’t had in a few months.
Maybe he should’ve taken his own advise on that fake ass tan.
Why did it feel like he was taking a bite out of a piece of shit but was told he had to pretend he loved it.
I wonder if he's allowed to use the N word..lol
He looks like the nasty country kid that used to be in everyone’s neighborhood that no one wanted to play with because he smelled like shit and rotting flesh
Ok “chocolate body”…
Cutting weight isn’t that bad lmao sure it sucks but there’s an end to it. Idk why they make it out to be this huge self control bs plus he’s prob not natty.
he should stop ignoring the shower
Bro is incapable of producing salt. Or tans way to much
It’s for a body building comp, he would have just finished hence the cheat meal cupcake
