Should you be competing in bodybuilding?

There are hundreds and hundreds of bodybuilding competitors across the IFBB and NPC when you look at every single division. Yet the big names you see and hear about are the top few. The major success stories. The super stars. The one’s who found honor, glory, and limelight. Everyone else, while finding success in their own ways and personal goals, are still trying to hit the top 5 spot. Hit the spotlight. Become world renown champions. It’s a true grind and one that might not pay off. There can only be so many champions in a given year or even decade.

So if you are the kind of person starting off or maybe considering jumping into competing – a big question is: should you do it? The video above by Brian DeCosta breaks down his bodybuilding competition grind and questions whether or not he should continue competing. It’s a great first hand and honest reaction to his experiences competing. An opinion from the trenches rather than from the top 5 Mr. Olympia champs. His opinion might not match yours – but it’s an interesting watch to say the least. Check it out above.
