There are no other sports quite like bodybuilding. Bodybuilders tend to be intense and competitive, partially because they have devoted most of their time to fitness and looking their best. Many find that it is more extreme at bodybuilding competitions. A bodybuilding contest is no place for the modest or the meek, so be prepared to show everyone your best features.
