      BB helps with androgen production.

      Your preference is fine. But as RP evidenced, there's more to endo than androgen production.

        @ThinPicking sure, but strength training is good. RP said so too. Just keep the volume low. Looking and feeling good makes one's life much better. Having low muscle mass late in life is hellish. Not doing any form of strength training is one of the worst decisions you can make. It is much better to lift weights once every week or every second week rather than not training for strength at all. Dave Jacoby was the world powerlifting champion in his weight class several times and only lifted once a week. The applied nuclear engineer Roger Estep also trained minimally with great results. I lift once a week and I am absolutely convinced that it is beneficial for me.

        Why you should train strength.

        Put yourself on fire for peak energy metabolism.

        Ignore, judge, overcommit.

          All true no doubt sir. Personally I'm more regular and kinesthetic with some added weight.

          And lest we forget or under-attend, the other things that can make life hellish. Attendance to the eye of the beholder. Or something.

            I think u can easily overdo bodybuilding like in competition. But something about the movements, challenging all the muscles in various planes, just seems almost necessary to see our body expressed fully in the physical. It can be so therapeutic for the joints and circulation, protective. Really the lifts are like dynamic stretches.

            People can probably reel back volume a lot and still make great gains without overly stressing the body.

                      based.

                      The truth is that honestly, a man with broad shoulders, long arms and square face, is more attractive to a girl than bubbles. muscles from a high androgenic development is also great, but the above description is more aesthetically pleasing than stacking bubbles like conventional body building does.

                        Yes, there is big difference between muscle built with intense exercise vs pump work. One is very soft and round, other looks dense and is tightly packed around the bone.

                        But then again, how do you do bodybuilding when you have finite amount of energy to spend? Muscle building theoretically helps with quality of life, but I'm sure that I can get those benefits walking 10000 steps a day as well while keeping all of the energy for other endeavours. It's hard to justify the effort for bb and I see myself as a gym rat with 5+ years of experience and a 5 plate deadlift. It's just that beyond a point of movement and fitness there is no point for health or quality of life except vanity. I hope I'm not demoralizing.

                          @EustaceBagge totally. I agree completely.
