Why are so many teens into body building?

Fortunately no one will post photos of minors on this site to be ogled by adults

R1 Eh hopefully this doesn't into a pedo thread

Given that teens have been into bodybuilding for years, R2, I'm afraid that's exactly what it is.

SAMBLA, but you know, with an N

They want pussy. Duh.

Boys develop earlier now. Millennials have bigger cocks on average than previous generations. Straight boys are expected to shave their body hair or they won't get pussy or blown by girls. The girls are sluts, but don't call them that, it's slut-shaming. Six pack abs on a teen boy who looks like a grown man is not shocking. Again, boys develop at an earlier age now. That's why when I hear about these female teachers fucking their students, I have to remember that boys today don't look like boys of previous generations. They look like men.

Blame hormones in meat and dairy.

My students-most of them male & female exercise, but look at me as if I'm crazy when I suggest that they read a book over the summer.

Develop early r5? Wtf man, they don't look like that naturally, it takes a lot of work.

The gym body on men is big in popular culture. All these guys grew up looking at Marvel superhero movies with all of their perfect pecs and abs, turn on CW or MTV and you see guys with ripped gym bodies, highschoolers on shows are depicted with live-in-the-gym bodies.

The message is clear, hot guys live in the gym and have a sculpted gym body. Guys start lifting and thinking about their gains at an early age.

Dudes want to be "swole" and have male "aesthetics."

[quote]Develop early [R5]?

Boys bodies take on mature characteristics earlier now. That's just a scientific fact, the same way girls used to mature earlier. No one is exactly sure why. The penis and testes are bigger as well. Unfortunately for boys their brains aren't caught up to their body's development. It's probably exposure to chemicals in foods and the environment and exposure to pornography at an earlier age thanks to the internet. It triggers hormones. Boys are suffering from eating disorders like girls now at an alarming rate.

R10 Just proves how Millennials are awesome and more developed

[quote]The penis and testes are bigger as well.

I hate to break it to you but there is zero proof of this. The "study" that launched a thousand headlines saying this was a self-reported online survey.

What I find strange is that you ask a question with obvious answers.

So black kids won't push them around and take their girlfriends from them. Black men have natural, solid, alpha male strength that white boys can only get by lifting weights. A lot of them are using steroids because they can't get it done naturally--that's how desperate they are. If you're a goofy white kid with no swag and no game, "aesthetics" is the only way to have something going for you.

Everyone wants to be hot.

Yep, cause everyone wants hundreds of thousands adoring followers on Instagram

I just can't believe how many of these guys are into it. Look at this lad, flexing and posing in nothing but gym shorts and measuring his various body parts with a tape measure:

[quote]So black kids won't push them around and take their girlfriends from them

Just when I think this board can't get any more embarrassing

R14 is having Mandingo fantasies again...

R17, keep it pure and appropriate dude. These are kids

This guy is 18 but you can tell by his sculptedness that he's been lifting weights for years. He's practically a professional bodybuilder already:

Dang bro

This guy is 20 now but the video was shot when he was 17. Again, you can tell by that point he'd been lifting for years. When did he start, at 13 years old?

unrealistic beauty standards, should 15 year olds already look like MMA Fighters?

It's realistic for those who already look like this

I have a lot of high school kids at my gym. Many of the guys have over-developed musculature like this, with baby faces. Most of these guys don't even shave yet.

Out times - with a sick, mercantile culture, bad use of technology, lousy families and poor education - leaves nothing for these stooges to do but become shallow, needy narcissists.

Whatever dude

Apparently R14 is Dr. Mengele.

Bump

Oh my! How utterly delightful

Probably, OP, so they can defend themselves against slimy, fully grown adult males who like to broadcast their thinly-veiled interest in under-age boys.

the near hard-on in R21's video explains a lot

"The penis and testes are bigger as well."

That's ridiculous, since there is not a correlation between ultimate penis size and sexual maturity. That's porn thinking.

No one said that r34. We were talking about chemicals, environment, and exposure to porn.

This was going on in the 80s so don't pretend it's a new trend.

We had the most beautiful guy who was perfectly cut up, perfectly proportioned in every damn way, curly tow-headed in a way that only American Dutch/German guys can be. Hopefully bald at a young age, perhaps with a small dick as well. Oops.

Anyway, he came back from Junior year summer with MASSIVE gains, a shit-ton of acne, and anger issues.

I fell out of lust.

R36, you are stuck in the ancient past dude

Steroids flow like water

Boys have been lifting for a long while. We just see them all over now because of Instagram and other social media

Yet another pedo thread.....

Yes, many teens take to weight lifting early. But some people are just more muscular and toned due to being athletic. When I was 18 some people assumed I lifted weights, which I never had. I did daily push-ups and sit-ups and running and cycling, but I also played hand-ball and did exercises at the park with handbars such as pull ups.

We used to lift back in the day, but now there seems to be more knowledge about how to build bulk.

So nothing is that different. They're just getting better results than we did.

Maybe it's a defense mechanism because they know creep old gay dudes constantly ogle them?

Much more pressure on them to look good. We had the same BS - but it was more about clothes and hair. Instagram and all the body conscious craziness in the culture is changing things. They are also getting far better results with the right protein quantities, creatine, access to more weight lifting equipment, etc...

It's a good thing- if you build this kind of body young, I'd imagine it sets you up better for life than being a chubby teenager (which I think is far more common actually).

Lifting is not the problem per se. It's the roid usage. Any TEEN using roids needs help.

OP/R2 LOL, who are you fooling? This is exactly what you intended.

All these guys use steroids, maybe 1 in 1000 has a natural ridículos lean and muscular body.

They work out the glamour muscles but have chicken legs, just like the adult males they see online and want to emulate.

This lad is 16 and built like a grown man. How is he using steroids when there isn't a blemish on his face? I had more acne than him when I was a string bean at his age.

They are at peak testosterone at that age... I doubt *that* many are on steroids. R49's guy doesn't look freakishly huge. They all have very low body fat and no loose skin, so that helps.

Look at this 18 year old wildebeest. You know he didn't just start lifting yesterday. He most likely looked pretty much the same a couple years ago.

Wtf.

And here's one of his 17 year old lifting buddies.

Dudebros and masc4masc seems to apply to the str8 guys too

Keep an open mind

It's long been popular for teens to takeup weightlifting in high school and of course some of them have always taken it too far. Usually, the shorties.

R23 looks 40 years old

How does a 17 year old have arms like this?

I don't recall any kids in my high school being built like this:

Back in the olden days of yore, the weight room was about building strength for sports. Not about preening and sculpting.

No one took their shirts off to brag. It was more about how much weight they'd pressed.

[quote] Yet another pedo thread..... —Sad

TRUTH

Uhh, first of all, this thread is about determining the root cause of this contemporary phenomenon.

Second, pedos are attracted to waifish little twinks who look like they just came out of the delivery room. Pedos like children. These guys are lifting weights early because they want to look like grown MEN, and anyone admiring their physique is doing so because they represent certain aspects of MANLINESS, not childhood.

I think what R61 is doing is known as "pedo-splaining"

I actually think r61 is correct. I don't think pedos/chicken hawks really want someone who is built, they want someone that looks boyish.

Though yes, this thread is creepy since OP is posting lots of shritless pictures of minors pretending like there is nothing weird about this.

Except for the fact R5 the kids the teachers are fucking look like kids and not the guy in the OP's link.

Dear Lord in Heaven!

R62, he's 18 and built like he's 25. No pedo is interested in this, you bloody moron.

Yeah it's the posting of shirtless boys that is the problem here

Many of these boys are using roids they are going to look like shit by the time they are 30.

R67, I just wanted people to see examples of the crisis we're trying to confront.

You do realize the most testosterone in a guy is in his teen years. If they work out it only increases testosterone production.

It's called Bigorexia. Dudes want to be big, stole. Often it's motivated by body dysmorphia.

OP Because they know old pervs will drool inappropriately over their videos, then buy them 'presents' on their Amazon wish lists.

[quote]bullying issues?

No. It's a symbol of masculinity and boys (teens aren't men) these days are even more obsessed with it. Coupled with the fact that men are now being objectified in advertising campaigns and porn much like women are now... it's becoming a little bit more even instead of one sided--they feel like they have to do everything they can do measure up. You have bands like the chain-"smokers" that talk about how big their dicks are--since when have mainstream artists been THAT brazen about it. These boy-men aren't even subtle anymore.

Just wait until they all start shooting their dicks up with HGH or steroids.

R66 He's 18...a kid. What he's built like is irrelevant. Old guys love shit like this because they can rationalize it in exactly the way you are.

Can't some of this be traced back to the movie Perfect with John Travolta, and the early 80s Soloflex ad with that muscle boy model all the gays were drooling over?

Going over this thread (or Instagram) will give you the impression that bodybuilding is rampant among teens. But it's not. Next time you go to an airport or a shopping mall, look around. There are scads of normally developed teens who do not work out. And there are any number of obese teens out there as well.

[quote]Can't some of this be traced back to the movie Perfect with John Travolta, and the early 80s Soloflex ad with that muscle boy model all the gays were drooling over?

I doubt it. I'm 35 and that is all before my time.

Correct, R59. In my line of work, we say that these guys are working out their "mirror muscles" - the muscles that look good when they pose in the mirror. Mainly abs, pecs, biceps/triceps, lats, and quads. There are a lot of other muscles that they should work to be structurally strong, but they focus on what looks good, which to a 17 year old is their top priority. There is a definite difference in the physiques and strength of these guys compared to all-around high-performing athletes.

I think Arnold S gets a lot of credit. He brought bodybuilding out of the shadows in the 70s. In the 80s, a big gym was Gold's in Venice, and there were numerous Holiday Spas all over Southern CA that were no bigger than a 7-11. Hard to fathom, but tue. Then gyms started emulating Gold's and growing in size; in the early 80s someone told me about a gym with an indoor running track and I couldn't believe it or picture it. Then they became the norm. Ballys merged with Holiday Spa and things kept growing for all sorts of reasons.

The hot thing is for dudes to be "Alphas" now and having huge muscles is a part of that identity. Male aesthetics is huge today, and you need muscles to excel in it and show off. Flexing is the male talent today .

I blame guys like Jeff Seid for encouraging these kids

Because buff physiques is how males get attention and attract hotties today. You need to have a ripped, muscular bod to be considered hot today, and it's an easy way to get huge followings on social media. The hot dudes are "beasts," "swole," "bosses." Male aesthetics is booming.

How else do guys get hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers around the world?

Are us gays to blame for the boom?

According to DL they should all take oestrogen and strive for that Richard Simmons physique. It's certainly not the teens who are weird, it's you men.

MEN always want to get bigger. It's part of the Alpha male identity. If a man is not tall, at least he can get more muscular. Men want to distinguish themselves from women and femininity, and bulking with muscles is a vivid reminder that men are different than women

Go to a mall and you will see that fat and obese teens far out weigh (pun) in numbers the fit teens. It's sad to see so many over weight kids that do no exercise but only play video games.

The mirrors bolted to the walls of Sydney's bodybuilding gyms are crowded with impossibly muscled men. It's a smorgasbord of peak health and physical perfection.

But Joey Sheather can pick them. The men who have bulked-up too fast, whose passion for fitness has tipped over into obsession. The ones who will never be satisfied no matter how hard they shred or how much body fat they lose.

Their muscles are not just physical shows of strength. They are an attempt to forge emotional armour, says Sheather, a veteran personal trainer at Camperdown Fitness.

"These guys are trying to fix their feelings of inadequacy by building their physiques," he says. "They throw themselves into physical activity to have something to focus on other than those painful thoughts."

Muscle dysmorphia is anorexia's burly counterpart. It's the body dysmorphic disorder known as "bigorexia" that predominantly affects men.

People with muscle dysmorphia are consumed by an obsession that they are too small or underdeveloped and may take drastic and damaging steps to bulk-up, such as compulsively exercise, harmful diets and anabolic steroid and peptide abuse.

"It's very obvious," Sheather says of the increasing number of scrawny men whose bodies erupt with the rippling muscles of seasoned body builders with seemingly negligible effort.

The use of performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs) doesn't necessarily point to muscle dysmorphia, and not every individual with muscle dysmorphia uses PIEDs. But researchers says the rising rates of PIED use of is the canary in the coal mine of an emerging public mental health issue.Muscle dysphoria is the latest manifestation of eating disorder to rise from an image-obsessed Western culture that covets the muscled male physiques of blockbuster superhero franchises, pop stars and #fitspo Instagram feeds.

For every Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme movie of the '80s, there are now thousands of muscle men on social media posting daily videos and images of their rippled bodies.

"You can access a huge slew of idealised bodies to compare yourself to and that critical voice in your head that says 'this is probably not real' is often conspicuously quiet," says Griffiths.

He believes the forms eating disorders will take in the future will be dictated to a large extent by how greatly future societies value physical perfection and their new barely attainable ideal. "It has changed in the past and it is likely to change in the future. We have to be vigilant about new eating disorders that will turn up," he says.

Oh the humanity!! It's terrible for someone to be passionate about an endeavor they love and which brings them immense pleasure. Sort of like the passion for and pleasure derived on DL from criticizing others for actually enjoying life.

Muscle matters bro

...as opposed to letting themselves go and grow obese like thr rest of the generation?

No pecs, no follows

Instagram

Do you EVen lift, bro?

Jeff Seid isn't to blame. It all started with the one man they all worship, Aziz Shavershian aka Zyzz. He pioneered the idea of building an aesthetic physique instead of worrying about proper form and adding more plates to the barbell. Jeff Seid just carried the torch.

And it's easier to bodybuild in that fashion. You don't have to worry about genetic limits in size and strength, you need just enough muscle to get that shredded look--achievable by virtually any teenage male. So once the goal changed to something within reach, it led to an increase in participation among males. There are other factors at play but I think this is a big part of it.

you need to look up DAVID LAID.........he is AWESOME and probably gay..............BTW he is not even yet one year out of high school............

David Laid is like the new Jeff Seid. I don't think he's gay, though.

David's friend Dylan McKenna is even more massive than him.

18 is male sexual peak.

Also older fitness bros with kids are introducing their sons to bodybuilding. My friend has his 11 year old son lifting weights and going to Crossfit

I just wikipedia'd Zyzz. btw he died at 22. Did not know that. What was the difference with his aesthetic (as opposed to proper form) approach?

Like more reps with less weight, instead of lower reps with heavier weight.

No no, these popular aesthetics bros lift heavy and often. You don't get this level of bulk lifting like a girl

90 pound weaklings get no respect

They def lift heavy. Here's another of David Laid's friends, Qwin Vitale:

Exactly. You can't get this type of massive bulk with lifting heavily regularly, especially before 21 years of age.

Without lifting heavy

Here's Jeff Seid doing 100 squats:

Stop fixating on Jeff Said. It's so much bigger than him. Plus, he's yesterday's news.

There should be a better word than "bigorexia," which sounds tacky. How about "myomania," which means "muscle madness" in Greek? Or megamyomania? Or MAGAmyomania.

Okay

Dudes like this have millions of drooling followers because of their physiques. Of course, guys wanna be like thEm.

I always get a kick out of the predictable bro-tivational Instagram captions. Nuggets of gold, pearls of wisdom, excuses to post another hot selfie.

Guys with big muscles and pubescent faces creep me out.

You don't have to be a teenager to look as good as the guys in this thread!

Trust me.. I'm 66 years old but everybody mistakes me for a 19 year old! That's because I never drank, I never did drugs and I've been going to the gym and working out for over 50 years.

Just the other day I was surfing at the beach with my homies when these two teen guys came up to me and said, 'Hey Brah, you've got a dope body? What's your secret for those pecs and that sixpack?" And I told them I combine a gluten-free diet with an ab, cardio and weights workout. And I juice on the weekends.

It also helps that I look as young as I feel! That sucks that some of you guys are old and never worked out... Chin up, bros!

Chins up, that is.

More pics please. For research.

Why do they do it? Because they can. They see thousands of images of built, stacked, shredded guys and they want to imitate them. And, they are at that point in their lives, they are able to work out, put on muscle, and stay at relatively low body fat levels. Much easier as a teen than it will be later on life.

If you look at "ideal" male body images over the decades you will see how much more muscular the guys are today. Muscles are a commodity. You can have them regardless of whether you are smart or wealthy. They get you sex and attention. So, it is no surprise that teenage boys want to do what Patrick LeBlanc does. He has the body of a 25-year-old who's been working out for years.

R118 is spot on. We can't get to the heart of this matter if we don't even know what we're discussing.

Like this young man, who's 17. What drove him to build his body to such extreme proportions?

Greyson here is built like a brinks truck. He's a senior in high school and all he knows is iron. It's concerning to me, but I at least have to admire his dedication and self discipline.

Concerning?

Yes, concerning.

adjective

causing anxiety; worrying.

I'm fearful as to how extreme this can get.

I'd be curious if any of these kids are openly gay. Seems like most are straight.

closeted, most likely.

Something's strange about R120's ribcage.

Maybe bi or fluid, but few call themselves "gay."

Brandon Larracuente is a fitness model turned actor who played Jeff in the Netflix series "13 Reasons Why." He had gotten so big that he had to slim down for fear of losing out on potential roles due to his massive size.

With his friend.

Do any of them work their legs? Or is it all upper body?

And will they all be dead of heart attacks by 40?

He's 22 now so he must have been a teenager in this one.

He was a monster.

You can see why he had to tone it down.

Dudes love to hear their buds call them "beast!"

And I think this is a more recent one, more representative of what he looked like on "13 Reasons Why."

DAng bro

But I wish we could know what drove him to this.

And this.

And this.

What drove Brandon to this?

It borders on absurd.

Madness!

This isn't so bad.

I love transformation

But this is the dangerous road that such narcissism can lead to:

Here's what Brandon looked like in "13 Reasons Why." His build was more subdued. He played a football player, if memory serves correct.

You pedos need to go to bed now, this shit is sickening....

[quote]Maybe bi or fluid, but few call themselves "gay."

That's what they call themselves.

Some, not all, but definitely not a small amount.

Steriods, no way teens or anyone can get that big/cut without it.

You can always spot a pedo by the fact that when you call him a pedo, he goes on an angry "WELL, ACTUALLY" rant about what pedophilia is. Like r61 above.

Steriods

It is the internet with instagram, youtube etc. It is a hall of mirrors and they are focused on body and image. Same with the trans explosion.

In case anyone thought this was just an American tragedy, the virus has clearly gone global. This 18 year old Croatian lad has been hooked on iron for years.

Keep the teens aged 18 and 18 please

Age 18 and 19

We can't ignore the fact that they're starting out at a younger age--that's the point OP was trying to make.

Well keep lustful comments and risqué pics restricted to 18 and 19 yo.

None of these pics are risqué. They're merely used as visual aids to guide us through the discussion at hand.

Another 19 year old addicted to iron. Where does it end?

Beautiful

As several other people have already pointed out, although a minority of teens may be into body building, the majority of teens today are actually overweight and out of shape.

R165 That's just a lie people tell themselves. Look up the obesity rates for millennials and gen z its low

Who doesn't want to be considered hot?

[QUOTE]Who doesn't want to be considered hot?

But at what cost?

I heard from a guy in his mid 30s that his body is always hurting as a result of working out since his teens.

And that's part of the problem here, R169. You can really mess yourself up when you spend decades moving weights this heavy since a young age.

I blame Bruce Weber.

There's always somebody to blame.

Can't we hold a telethon or something?

Sexy

My 19 year old stepson is into bodybuilding because he's fat.

Studies ar confirming weighlifting is great for health and vitality

"Weightlifting" as in some routine resistance training mixed with regular cardio. Not as extreme as this:

Dang he's hot

There's nothing healthy about a teen who's sculpted his stomach to look like this:

Enjoy the youth and metabolism while it lasts boys. Once you hit 30, it becomes all that much more difficult to maintain such a body..

AVOID bad carbs

Inactive adults experience a 3% to 8% loss of muscle mass per decade, accompanied by resting metabolic rate reduction and fat accumulation. Ten weeks of resistance training may increase lean weight by 1.4 kg, increase resting metabolic rate by 7%, and reduce fat weight by 1.8 kg. Benefits of resistance training include improved physical performance, movement control, walking speed, functional independence, cognitive abilities, and self-esteem. Resistance training may assist prevention and management of type 2 diabetes by decreasing visceral fat, reducing HbA1c, increasing the density of glucose transporter type 4, and improving insulin sensitivity. Resistance training may enhance cardiovascular health, by reducing resting blood pressure, decreasing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Resistance training may promote bone development, with studies showing 1% to 3% increase in bone mineral density. Resistance training may be effective for reducing low back pain and easing discomfort associated with arthritis and fibromyalgia and has been shown to reverse specific aging factors in skeletal muscle.

PMID 22777332 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Please keep the pics at 18 yo for research purposes

R182, It says "resistance training," which incorporates a wide span of things. I doubt they're talking about eating vast quantities of protein, taking weird supplements (possibly including enhancement drugs), cutting carbohydrates drastically and lifting extremely heavy weights in order to look like this:

Damn, all these dudes are so aesthetically pleasing!

It's gotten so a lot of guys will not go swimming unless they look like fitness models because people will pick at their bodies for not being muscular and ripped enough. I hear guys in the gym saying they have to work out harder and eat clean so they can go to the pool

That's part of what makes it so unhealthy: we're not just talking about the guys in these pics, but the other young men who become so body conscious after idealizing these physiques.

Young men certainly are afraid to take their shirts off in front of peers today unless they look like fitness Model. People will call you out for being "skinny" or having "moobs" in front of your bros, and the teasing is merciless

You don't have to look like this guy to have a good time at the beach:

I've been beating off to Connor since he was about 16.

Iron Addict too. He started YouTubing when he was about 16. As soon as he turned 18 he was selling camshows. When was uploaded on MyVidster for a while. HUGE COCK.

Hmmm

Even dogs getting ripped

Conner had a video on YouTube for a while. He was taking a shower in his white banana hammock underwear. Of course when it was wet you could see everything. He's huge too. You can tell that even without the wet see through underwear.

R194, you sound overtly creepy

Thanks. I try. Here's some Asian if you like...

200 posts.

Really?

Why does the subject have to be "teenagers"? Why this obsession with youth?

And what do all the pics prove? Cannot this topic be discussed WITHOUT pics?

Why can't there be a thread about guys over 30 who work out?

R198 Hello OP here I'm actually 18 (yes queens teeangers occasionally go on here when we have nothing to do) anyway I just wanted older peoples views about the subject wasn't expecting this to turn into a pedo thread where people started lusting over adolescents

From 190 on forward, the thread was hijacked by some pervert who exploits these young men for sexual gain. I had no part in it.

Before that, however, I simply wanted to provide the audience with visual representation of the adonis complex as it pertained to the discussion.

Okay, we get it. There are muscular teenage guys out there.

We don't need more pictures.

R200 didn't need to post another picture, either. A simple explanation would have sufficed.

I do it to shock bystanders who may take it lightly. I do it to provoke thought. I want people to understand the severity of the situation.

Will this pedo thread ever end?? Probably not, it's data lounge after all...

It'll end at 600 posts and then part 2 will pop up.

If you have a problem, there are other threads I guess.

The purpose is to educate.

Why post pics? It's not shocking. These dudes are all over Instagram and the internet flexing with legions of drooling fans. We already know.

Chicks are doing it too

[quote] We don't need more pictures.

Well, says you.

HAHAAHA I love all the creepy old dudes leaving Instagram comments.

REad his post

[QUOTE]It's not shocking.

Perhaps not individually, but when you take a step back, examine the entire thread and see the full scale of imagery--the magnitude of it all will hit home. You can truly understand what we're dealing with.

Stop it r211

They're just manlier than OP was as a teen.

Listen, I judge no one. But I can't be the only one who finds it odd that so many of you have these teen IGs and YouTube Channels at the ready.

[quote] Will this pedo thread ever end??

Pedos aren't into anything that looks like a man, hon.

OP is the type of person who buys Mens Fitness and other physique mags, insisting that he's interested in lifting, etc., all the while the pages of the mgas are all stuck together.

Brandon in 20

This is one of the more extreme cases we've seen so far.

So hot

The kid in OP's picture is so ugly.

Nice

There aren't a lot of teens into body building. It's statistically unimportant. There are far more who just sit around and get fat. Very. Very. Fat.

R220 I assume he's better looking than you

Here's another one for you to clutch your pearls over. Different people same theme. They must sell a lot of cacm shows with the dominance thing.

[QUOTE]There are far more who just sit around and get fat. Very. Very. Fat.

That's part of what makes these "aesthetic bros" such a fascinating study.

Some of y'all are so pitifully old and out of touch. It's widespread.

Teens place a premium on muscular builds and are increasingly taking chances with their health to get them.

When it comes to body image, more is better, at least when it comes to muscle, according to a recent study of teens and body image. Published in the journal Pediatrics, the analysis involved 2,793 middle- and high school students living in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area who reportedly bulking up by using products like steroids and protein powders. The scientists found that the adolescents see toned and muscular bodies as the ideal, and are willing to change eating and exercise habits, as well as use supplements and steroids that have been linked to adverse health effects, to enhance muscle development.

Boys were more likely to take up these habits, with two-thirds of those surveyed reporting changing their eating habit to favor muscle mass. Thirty-five percent of boys used protein powders and 6% used steroids.

Although building bigger muscles was less common among girls, 21% reported using protein powders, 4.6% used steroids and 5.5% used other substances. In total, 12% of boys and 6% of girls engaged in three or more different behaviors to gain muscle. “This finding suggests that, in addition to a ‘thin ideal’ and focus on leanness, muscularity is an important component of body satisfaction for both genders,” the authors write.

(MORE: Which Drugs Is Lance Armstrong Accused of Taking?)

“We were very alarmed by the high numbers of youth using muscle enhancers such as protein supplements. These behaviors suggest high concerns about youth with regard to muscularity,” says study author Dianne Neumark-Sztainer, a professor of epidemiology and community health at the University of Minnesota.

But the results are complicated by the fact that building muscle may also promote some beneficial behaviors, particularly among teens who were obese. In fact, greater use of muscle-building behaviors was found among kids with higher BMIs or struggling with obesity. The authors write:

Although it is appropriate to promote physical activity in youth, which may have desirable benefits in terms of health and body composition, care should be taken to emphasize moderation in behaviors and to focus on skill development, fitness, and general health rather than development of a muscular appearance. “There are many confusing messages in our society regarding what is healthy. While it is appropriate and desirable to aim to be physically fit and be involved in physical activity, this should be done through healthful eating and activity behaviors,” says Neumark-Sztainer. “The youth may view taking muscle enhancers as a healthful behavior given that substances such as protein powders are widely promoted. We need to move away from the idea of an ‘ideal body shape’ toward an acceptance of diverse body shapes and sizes.”

According to Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychologist, anything taken to an extreme is a problem. “We have a spectrum. Here, what you have is a healthy eating behavior gone all the way to the other side so you’re not only developing problems with eating, but you are developing a substance-abuse problems with steroids too,” she says. “Parents need to have discussions constantly about how to make sustainable gains in a healthy way through eating and exercise, and they need to show a healthy example.”

While the findings may be alarming, pediatricians and body-image experts say they are not very surprising. “I have not only seen it in my private practice, I’ve seen it in the gym too,” says Greenberg. “There are all these media images of muscularity. It used to be Twiggy and now we are seeing more muscularity, which is a newer trend. In the magazines you read about the celebrities who work out with their trainers and it’s not to get emaciated, it’s to get built.”

Chasing Adonis: the male body-image epidemic

A toxic mixture of gym culture, unattainable Hollywood body ideals, and a shifting conception of the ‘perfect’ male physique is causing male anxiety over body-image, writes columnist Sam Brown

I sort of agree. Parents have kids in athletic activities and working out starting at very young ages these days. They are all over my gym. Yeah, there are some fat teens, but I don't think they're in the majority by any means.

Here's the hottest on yet ....they always seem to know they're audience from the get go.

They think it will make girls want them, but it really only attracts other guys.

R231. You don't know girls dude. Instagram and real life is filled with chicks ogling and drooling over ripped male physiques. Girl love dudes with six packs and biceps

body building for some of these guys must be the new drama club.

Here's another shower baby for you. If my father ever caught me making a video like this when I was a teen he would have beat the shit out of me. He's already got his own website so he's already selling cam shows. Bodybuilding is a very expensive hobby.

He knows more people will want to suck his cock. It's not rocket science.

r232 in real life teenage girls go nuts over more effeminate non-threatening men. They may still think ripped guys are hot, but those aren't the ones they want to be with. Instagram isn't exactly the teenage girl mecca either. Try facebook groups and tumblr.

They think it will make their dicks larger. Poor stupid teens.

R236, so in real life, guys like these have trouble getting girls because effeminate emo boys have them all locked up?

I'm following this thread quite closely, and with an increasing sense of alarm.

So many of these fine, strapping young men are pursuing false values. And they may injure themselves if they overdo it.

Who among us will man up... and intervene?

If only it would result in some of them becoming sterile and prevent them from reproducing.

If anything the natural increase in testosterone makes them more virile than ever.

This kid proves you don't have to be good looking either

And now I just realized that the guy at R242 isn't even really him. Looks like it's an older pic of Lowell Gloeckl who I think is in his mid to late 20s now.

R14=racist.

I guess they idolize sports stars and film actors who take steroids? Or they think it will make them attractive to women, men, or both if they are bisexual?

Heaven forbid these young people work out.

Pedos don't surprise me one bit... You know most of you all are on a "list" with your ogling and such?!?!? So sad that most will never learn. Much like the Dateline stings where the guys would say that they watched the show... Your days are numbered fellas...

R245 working out is fine. I did this as a teenager and still do. I don't take steroids the way some of the people pictured obviously do. I never took creatine either. I tried Whey protein before and it just made me eat less and I did not gain weight or muscle from it.

Creatine is fine for an 18 year old

this is NOT a pedo thread. come on, pedos want little boys, not men/boys that can snap them in two.

Nevertheless, the casual discussion of these young men being hot, buff and shreded, doesn't escape the fact that these young guys are .001% of the population, and the rest of deluded young guys think that the male population can achieve these same results is beyond ridiculous. but what they don't know is that most (99%) of these young guys are juicing.

it's all a matter of perception, you look good, you worked hard you get the babes. but the reality of the matter is they are putting harmful unregulated chemicals in their bodies and you DL's are praising them for it. That's just wrong. DL survey after survey has indicated that most of us on this site are over 50.

so for you old horn dogs slobbering after these guys when you know for a FACT that they're juicing and cutting their life short is macabre and the definition of the old queen in caftan and earrings dancing to her last disco song slobbering over an Instagram image on the cell phone.

You don't give a fuck about the new meat in front of you. You guys keep "liking" their Instagram photos perpetuate a cycle of nameless rewards for these fucked up individuals.

You guys are pathetic, go after some one your own age, you might find happiness and not some grifter out for your hard earned cash.

Shut up r249

He ( R249) is right, R250, and your pudgy, middle-aged self is just angry that when it's said out loud, you can't pretend not to know what's really happening. You, wanking over roided-up teenage boys, bear some responsibility. You don't have to support this. You could always look instead at the millions of photos of consenting, healthy, adult men, rather than teenage boys.

R223 = saucy pedo.

Hmmm

Most Dataloungers are pedophiles.

I think it's because we live in a really narcissistic culture, many boys/ young men broadcast themselves out into the world via social media and feel the need to look their best, you can see this happening in girls as well with this hyper glam trend, in addition, many celebs feed this trend with overtly athletic and hyper sexual bodies i.e the thors, cap Americas and Kim K's of the celeb world, but it is just a trend and it will pass like all trends do.

R248 I never took it since it was controversial whether it was safe or not for someone aged 15-18. A friend of mine took it as an adult and said how it did not really help him build muscle.

Creatine definitely helped me build muscle, almost instantly. Studies have confirmed its safety and efficacy

If steroids are what you sup on, this is your size Corelle.

[QUOTE]I think it's because we live in a really narcissistic culture.

Narcissism is definitely a big part of this puzzle.

Also, weighlifting is hugely emphasized in sports today. Even baseball players lift weights, take supplements, and develop huge aesthetics physiques.

Dudes today assert they are hot Alphas by flexing and displaying their physiques. They get lots of attention. And ass....💪🏼

Do they call themselves "dudes"?

Of course r262

Ewww R263.

18 years old and this is what he dedicates his life to?

Who cares, R265? Doesn't mean he can't, and doesn't, have other interests.

What other interests can you have when you're in the gym for hours a day?

Guys wanna be swole Alphas

I'd like to finger bang all of them. Then lick their boy brownie batter off my fingers.

Nasty

Wtf with all the pedo threads?

[QUOTE]Guys wanna be swole Alphas

The question is how a generation of young men came to identify masculinity with this:

Why is this "alpha"?

Or this?

Where does it come from?

And where does it end?

Could you at least illustrate your rant with different guys, R276?

R277, this isn't for your amusement.

Zzzzzz

Then you are succeeding, R278.

Hehe

MMMMM big connor again ...I'd lick his shitter until I got to his small intestines. When he turned 18 of course.

Elliot is cute, R282.

R282, just ewwww man

R282, not only are you a disgusting pedo, but a scat fiend... Your karma is coming and it ain't gonna be pretty... Hopefully your death is long and slow.... Good day...

r282, you need help, dude. You're sick.

Why "scat," R285? I must have missed something.

I think Jeff Seid deserves more of the blame than I thought.

At least Jeff Seid is 23 now so I can oggle him as much as I want. Even if he is a douche.

Any of these fine lads looking for a seasoned personal trainer?

"I will never apologize for being me. You should apologize for asking me to be anything else." -

I remember looking at Jeff Seid pictures and wonder:" Fuuuck this guy is looking sick, if only I can look like that." After stepping into gym for the first time I fell in love with it. I love it now same as I did 3 years ago. You never know what is going to be. You can become anything guys. I bet if I had my recent pics shown to my old self I would say:" hahaha photoshop."😂

He's in love with iron.

Alrighty

I have been involved in body building off and on for more than 40 years as a competitor and as a trainer

IWhen I started competing on the teen level, most competitors were 17, 18 and 19 years old. Now 14, 15 and 16 years olds are competing.

One father asked me to review his sons' posing routines; the boys are 10 and 12

It's stunning that they'd dedicate so much of their youth to bodybuilding.

Why not?

With all the adoration and thirst buffed male fitness models and gym bros get today, why wouldn't they be?

So that people will want to lick their dicks. Duh.

do you think he has a clue?

In that outfit, r299, he can't miss it.

only interested in the adult ones

This thread isn't about getting your kinks, R301. It was created to explore the underlying pathology of what I call iron addiction in young men.

The ludicrous paedo trolls are just flicking between here and the Call Me thread.

[quote]only interested in the adult ones

What are you doing here, then, R301?

That comment IS pathological, R302.

No, it would be pathological to deny the existence of this growing threat.

I got say, this is one of a few times where I have come here and be shocked at what I was reading.

The old DL would have FFed and reported this thread in a mater of minutes. Now we are lucky if TPTB read our complains, let alone do anything about them.

The anonymous posting is starting to work against us. Now the fangurls and freaks feel emboldened to post anything. And they are doing this because they view the gays as pushovers. They don't fear us at all: "what are a bunch of queens and eldergays going to do about it?" so they keep posting their garbage.

[quote]What are you doing here, then, [R301]?

What are you trying to say you big pervert? You are here for the minors?

Seriously, the age of consent is 16 in most of the US. It's legal to have sex with most of these guys so of course it's legal to look at pictures they've put up on Instagram with the express purpose of wanting to be admired.

Sick of these paedo trolls who pretend DL used to be a haven of craven political correctness when it was even more liberal back in the 20th century, with shows like Queer As Folk (sex scenes with a 15 year old/20s guy) won awards.

If anything DL should be commended for tackling this issue head on. Elsewhere it's either ignored or downplayed. We're engaged in a serious discussion about a serious matter. Sure there's a few who come here with perverted intentions but we shouldn't allow them to sidetrack our debate.

This kind of exercise is encouraged by anger management specialists. It's all better than beating each other up or engaging in violent crime. Girls are dieting as young as 14 so it's only fair that boys now have something to aim for too.

Interesting. So it's possible that the teen bodybuilding explosion is partially responsible for the national drop in violent crime.

[quote]Sick of these paedo trolls who pretend DL used to be a haven of craven political correctness when it was even more liberal back in the 20th century,

No bitch, DL used to look down on this. And in the US, Brit, Justin was 17 not 15 and was the cause of fights between the idiot fangulrs and gay men.

Hmmmm

I say BS - you just look at ANY Helix, Cocky Boys, Eurocreme, BelAmi, Staxus studio or just ride the subway when young guys of all ethnicities come in and out at stops where schools are located and you will KNOW it is true!

Our goal should be solving the equation of young male addiction to bodybuilding. We still haven’t gotten to the heart of this issue.

He’s “about to hit the gym” here. Doesn’t he have anything else to do with his life?

Puberty

[quote]Blame hormones in meat and dairy.

Links, please.....

Going to the gym is so terrible. Better to troll on DL for hours or worry about which spice goes best with which entree or whether the tasteful friends will approve a particular mansion or watch endless sitcoms or sit on your fat asses and criticize those who actually get off their fat asses and go to the gym.

Going to the gym is one thing but at what point does it become an unhealthy obsession?

R336 When does judging people you've never even met become an unhealthy obsession?

Is the evidence not clear enough for you?

Look at the caption on this picture:

[QUOTE]I'm finally gonna figure out my body fat on Saturday using hydrostatic body composition testing,gonna be submerged under water with only my mouth above then there gonna run some tests.

Really, does this young man look like he needs to be that worried about his body fat? As if it’s not extremely low already?

What 17 year old should be worried about “hydrostatic body composition” testing in the first place?!

He really needs to get that bodyfat in check, I tell ya.

Nothing unhealthy about a teen who looks like this feeling insecure about his bodyfat levels.

They are into body building? They are gay.

If only

Not Gay R341 just narcissists which is why they are on Instagram.

But can it all be written off as narcissism, or is there something else going on here?

AS LONG as they are adults, I love it!

You’re not supposed to love it. It’s a sickness.

I had this issue once. A guy with very wandering eyes at my gym had a body like the guy in R58. I took him for early to mid-20's, but I overheard him discussing his high school graduation (upcoming!) one day in the locker-room.

R38 R39 R40 Something wrong with curiosity about body fat? Would the chart have large enough values for your level? The fat slobs are trying to justify their lazy lifestyles here.

Curious? Are you kidding me? Can’t they look in the mirror and see that it’s already extremely low? It’s not curiosity, it’s obsession! They want precise numbers so they can alter their diets and take their bodyfat percentage down to an even more unhealthy level.

So much gymspiration, bro!

R349 To you it's extremely low. But of course, to you, so is the body fat of a pot-bellied pig. (I know that image makes you hungry.)

More chicken legs than a bucket of KFC.

I wouldn’t say “worried about” or “concerned by” or “obesessed with” their body fat. It’s more like “interested to know” their body fat and have fun transforming their bodies into powerhouses.

I’m naturally skinny and won’t take supplements, so I’ll never have the body these guys have, but since I spend about 8 hr/week in the gym, some people would say I have body issues. The truth is that I enjoy knowing that i am doing whatever possible to stay healthy and fuckable for as long as possible. I wish I had the genes of these guys... good for them for enjoying their bodies.

[QUOTE]It’s more like “interested to know” their body fat and have fun transforming their bodies into powerhouses.

You really think this guy needs to be dunked in water to know what his bodyfat level is? Does he not have eyes to see that it’s practically non-existent?

I’m sure this guy is “curious” about his bodyfat too.

He’s probably not even in double digits.

Bro needs to cut the carbs.

Obsession with body fat is by far the most important crisis facing western civilization and carbon based life-forms this century.

I wouldn’t go that far, but there’s clearly something going on when it comes to young males and body image.

This is clearly the result of obsession.

I grew up in the 80s. Most teen boys I knew were into lifting weights. This is not anything new.

How many teens in the 80’s walked around looking like this?

I remember standing in line at a water park about 15 years ago... and this guy in front of me was hot. Fully hairy chest, tall, really muscular, beefy foot-ball player type. I assumed he was mid-to-late 20s actually. Over hearing his conversation, he was a JUNIOR in HIGH SCHOOL.

Holy fuck. They did NOT make guys like that in my day.

That guy is not walking around, he is posing and flexing, R362.

You're not too bright, are you?

R364, you know exactly what I meant.

The difference between teens in the 80s and teens today, is access to social media to show themselves off.

Teens did not have these bodies in the 80’s.

What teens were built like this in the 80’s?

Who in the 80’s went to high school with seniors who looked like this?

No youngsters were sculpted like this.

Physiques like this could only be found on adult bodybuilders back then.

It’s a very recent phenomenon.

They look like grown men.

What teenager in the 80’s was built like this?

Damn, to be a teen again...

1. Powerful muscle-building and shredding supplements were not readily available and affordable before the last decade. 2. Gyms were not as prevalent and affordable back then. 3. The ripped, buffed look was not as exalted and idealized in media and pop culture back then. 4. There was no social media to "trend" #Gains, #Goals, #Aesthetics, #Swole, #GymFlow, #Flexing, or #Alphas.

I agree with your points. I’d also add that male body image issues didn’t exist that led lots of teens to want to look like this back then.

A previous poster made it seem as if these teens were all over the place ln the 80’s and we just didn’t see them due to a lack of social media. That’s where I beg to differ.

R354 Your obsession with this topic is pathetic and pathological.

Also remember that pro bodybuilders are also much larger and freaky looking today than they were in the 80s

Pro bodybuilders have been around for decades. But it’s only recently that so many young males have tried to mimick them. I

It’s part of the reason guys are timid about undressing in locker rooms. They are afraid their bods aren’t buff, swole, or ripped enough and not as hot as the aesthetics bros everyone idolizes.

Yep, guys are ashamed if they don’t have a six pack and big muscles

You said it R270 and R271.

[QUOTE]They are afraid their bods aren’t buff, swole, or ripped enough and not as hot as the aesthetics bros everyone idolizes.

It makes you wonder how many of these guys were the ones who found themselves intimidated in the past.

Naturally, dudes want to be Alphas and beasts, not betas or skinny.

But at what cost?

Bunch of flabby-assed femmes on here worried about being laughed at in the gym, as if they ever go to the gym. Hey, but it's a convenient excuse for their pathetic bodies.

We’re having a discussion. I don’t see how the amount of time we spend in the gym has any bearing on the topic at hand.

R387 I saw pics of some younger guy in his early 20s on Tumblr the other day and he was so muscular you can tell he takes steroids, HGH, etc. I have to wonder how bad that is for your body?

Dead by 30

How do they afford all the supplements

I wonder that as well R392? I can see someone buying some of them in small amounts by working but not a lot of them the way some of these men do?

I’d also question just what these “supplements” consist of.

r392 Its called "sponsors". They do private videos/pics for $$$.

When you observe how women and men drool over these dudes, you will have no reason to ask why weightlifting is so huge now.

I found this pic of a guy in his early 20s who is so muscular he looks like one of those old Charles Atlas "After" muscular exercises. He had the supplements in the background. I did not post this picture or any of the pictures on that blog.

This can't be healthy.

A friend of mine that was into weightlifting/powerlifting who is bisexual would tell me how he would read body building magazines when we were in our early 20s and how they all had ads for steroids in them, and articles that said how steroids are not bad for you. He was never into taking any of that stuff and never got "swole" but was in good shape unless he would drink too much beer and eat fast food.

I guess they have the attitude of, "To hell with my health and internal organs...I'm a get SWOLE AF!"?

Meanwhile there's hearbreak when you spend too much time in the gym away from your BF/GF or whoever.

This site has a list of terms people now use. I guess a "gym rat" is what we used to call a "gym bunny"?

Gym rat is sort of old now. Aesthetics males and gymfam are trending

Yeah I haven't heard gym rat in decades but it was on that site.

The most ignorant group about bodybuilding discussing it as if they're experts.

We never claimed to be experts. We’re just concerned with the path these young men have chosen.

MORE are turned on than concerned

[quote] MORE are turned on than concerned

No one, except perhaps the OP (and even that's not certain), is concerned.

There are a few who have gone off the beaten path and posted graphic images and/or expressed perverted desires, but the majority of us are here out of concern. Some admire I’m sure (and there’s nothing wrong with that), but I actually value the admirers because their input lends insight into some of the motivations behind these “bros.”

R408 Your presumptuous use of "us" to refer to yourself clearly defines you as a flaming asshole.

How about we cut out the personal attacks and focus back on the discussion at hand?

Nope

Well if you won’t refrain from personal attacks, rather than focusing on these young males who may be suffering, then I’ll have to ask you to leave.

Beast

R413, talk about body dysmorphia... he's completely out of proportion in that 'after' pic.

Our view of proportionality is totally different from theirs.

Kyle is hot to death

I need a LOT more pictures of these young males who may be suffering to bolster my desire to help the poor dears.

I must admit that part of the reason I post the pictures is because I find it jarring that pain could be used to create such aesthetically pleasing figures. They’re like heroin junkies who somehow become smarter and more attractive with every hit, when we know it’s the opposite.

PLeas post more pics of buff black and Latin young men. My research focuses on those groups

That’s not research; it’s fetishization. Race has no bearing on this topic. The pics are strictly meant to generate interest and discussion. You should look elsewhere to get your kinks.

You dweeb, PAIN? You have no idea how good it feels to push your body to the limit except for when you're eating.

Who says the body needs to be pushed to its limits? What’s wrong with a moderate diet and exercise? It makes for a lot more free time.

Beautiful bro 😍

Sexy Smurf?

R422 I would not be surprised if those men take steroids, HGH, and other stuff that's not good for your body.

Look at the guy in the blog link I posted, that's not healthy for you.

I have seen men in porn who did the same and it's as someone else wrote some of them were "dead by/before 30".

You mean there's something dangerous with being an iron freak and taking steroids?!

Hmmmm

I would hope it’s just a result of endless gym time rather than steroid usage.

THE syringe is not for what you think it is.

What does he use it for then R429? Putting drugs up his ass the way some people do?

I think that most of these bodies can be obtained through natural means.

Good find, R442. The manifesto of the teen bodybuilder.

THEse bros are so gymspiring

Sorry, absolutely nothing appealing about this freakshow.

Beautiful dudes 💪🏽👍🏽

Awesome men.

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that these bodies are the result of addiction.

Let’s not lose sight of these bodies.

These bodies are sculpted from a grossly distorted vision of masculinity.

I’m trying to be like these bros. Hot

The purpose of this thread is to serve as a warning of the dangers of trying to be like these “bros.”

DAng hot! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s unhealthy.

BOdybuilding increases self-esteem and confidence. Read this post

But there are myriad other ways these young men could be building their self esteem.

Not if they want the masses to listen over and adore them

To listen=to lust

One can attain praise for meaningful achievements that go well beyond the physical condition of their body.

I'm sorry ... but not hot AT ALL.

The words are what count, and what I said is no less meaningful. These young men need to strive for something meaningful if they wish to build long lasting self confidence. Muscles can be here today and gone tomorrow.
