Rich Piana’s 30 lbs muscle gain begins.
The most rabid bodybuilding fan is an individual who won’t rest until they gain the kind of muscle mass that the pros have. Individuals are influenced greatly by what they see and to a bodybuilding fan, particularly in the current state of the sport, that means they’re striving to become a mass monster. The term itself refers to those who have put on so much muscle mass that they can barely be recognized as a normal human anymore.
The thing about this mentality is that one can face the very real possibility of never being satisfied with their physique. Essentially those looking to constantly increase their muscle mass are no doubt suffering from “Bigorexia” or a form of body dismorphia that allows them to believe they can never get big enough. It’s a dangerous prospect simply because it can push an athlete to the mental brink. Never thinking you’re big enough can truly be a blessing or a terrible curse. Sure, it can provide you with all the motivation you need, but at the same time you won’t quite no what your limit is.
