Mr. Olympia 2019
September 11, 2019 at 8:06 pm
It's that time of the year when Mr. Olympia is going on. When the top athletes of the world gather in Las Vegas and, not unlike in any other sport, they measure to see who has taken more steroids and abused illegal substances and proclaim the winner
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I hesitate to call these people 'athletes' and their competition a 'sport'.

Some people think chess is a sport, so "chest" would be in the same category. 
And we should bear in mind that people who think chess is a sport are very, very wrong.

These guys look completely ridiculous and like freaks although generations ago they just looked like strong guys or like Greek statues but buffed. As if they had some sense for proportions and not like now.
Btw Arnold Schwarzenegger opens his fridge to the world to show what he eats

I mean, whatever floats their boat.
But I will admit that looking at them stresses me out. I always feel like their skin is going to give way and muscles will just start popping out.

So this year's winner

His lats look like wings. Talk about "fly like an eagle".
But I got to hand it out to them, they really work hard for those "beauty" competitions and I guess it used to carry some weight to win them before the obvious steroid overkill.
I mean I remember hearing from Arnold Schwarzenegger when he first came to US it was to participate in one of those Mr. Something competitions and he "lost" by being "only" 2nd, so he spent whole night weeping in his hotel room.
