Bodybuilding is unadulterated narcissism. The sprinter fights the clock, the weightlifter fights the barbell, but the bodybuilder has nothing but a mirror. Training schedules, strict diets, and hour upon hour in the gym are only the outward aspects of extreme discipline and an eternal struggle for the ideal physique: an ideal that most other people find absurd, but which nevertheless exerts a fascinating power, not least because most people in the western world are well aware of the search for a perfect body.
