Lifting weights, when combined with proper diet and cardiovascular exercise, is a recipe for good physical and mental heath. But when it is taken to the extreme, it can get seriously stupid. Here are the dumbest things about bodybuilding.

Lifting weights, when combined with proper diet and cardiovascular exercise, is a recipe for good physical and mental heath. But when it is taken to the extreme, it can get seriously stupid. Here are the ten dumbest things about bodybuilding.
It Makes You Look Like A Space Alien
If you're a bodybuilder, the character from Total Recall you most resemble should be the one Arnold Schwarzenegger plays. It shouldn't be Kuato, the foam rubber beast that bursts from the chest of a rebel leader.
Paint Rollers Aren't For People
This gentleman is being "bronzed." You know, like baby shoes. That can't be healthy.
It's Just Too Much
Big muscles are sexy. Looking like you have forcibly inserted a bowling pin under the skin of your arm is too much.
Medals For Normal People Look Silly On You
If you finally win a medal and it looks like somebody peeled the sticker off a banana and stuck it to your freakish chest, maybe you've gone too far.
Orange Gym Lockers Look Healthier Than Your Skin
Why would you put something on your body that looks like that funky chocolate sauce that instantly turns into a hard shell when it hits the ice cream? Even Snooki wouldn't go that far.
The Opposite Sex Makes Fun Of You
Many people start lifting weights as a response to being mocked for being a weakling in high school. But if you're just going to get mocked for having too many muscles, why not spare yourself the heavy lifting?
The Temptation Of Steroids
We don't know if this gentleman pictured here is a steroid user, but certainly performance enhancing drugs run rampant in the bodybuilding communities, and they can pose a serious health risk.
It's Excessively Image Conscious
It's easy to think of bodybuilders as fitness nuts, but in reality, image trumps health for many participants in the sport, if you want to call it that.
Protein Can Kill
The culture of weightlifting often praises excess and many people take far too much protein into their bodies, which can lead to excessive stress on the kidneys as the body attempts to process it all.
Everybody Dies
One of mankind's greatest fears is watching their bodies decay and erode with age. But while exercise is great and can make you feel good, moderation is important as well.
