Body dysmorphia warning
[edit]Hello guys,
I have a moral objection to having Arnold as the main picture for the bodybuilding entry. I am afraid it might encourage body dysmorphia and normalize steriod use. I think we should put a natural lifter up here. CalfRaiser150 (talk) 18:41, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Premature death section
[edit]https://www.google.com/search?q=bodybuilding+mortality+rate https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9885939/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2022/bodybuilding-extreme-training/ I'm guessing no-one that really likes this wiki page will want to have a section on this but I think the public should be informed so here goes.

- Beginning in the 2010s, studies on bodybuilding athletes found higher mortality rates, particularly when compared with other sport specific mortality rates. Risks cited were sudden cardiac death, as well as use of performance enhancing drugs and unique competitive training, such as extreme weight changes and intentional dehydration. Unlike other professional sports, the IFBB Pro League, the largest professional bodybuilding federation in the US, does not routinely test athletes for steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs and there is no athletes' union. Bodybuilders say steroids are easily obtained and widely used by competitors.[1][2][3] Oathed (talk) 09:46, 1 March 2025 (UTC) Oathed (talk) 09:46, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
