what u mean to say is that most your freinds are work horses who like to drink beer... that is fine i could care less, i have freinds like that too. theyre also probably the type that frown apon men shaving there bodies, correct? haha. diet is more than half the battle when it comes to bbing and u can ask anyone that. thus, proper diet and proper training for 20 years would make u lean no matter what. i consider dieting part of bodybuilding... it might be a judgement call but so what i'm making it. im confident in doing so
no i don't mean to say that so let me correct you.
you forget to mention that they also crush cans on their foreheads and eat lightbulbs, they don't lift weights, only kegs! and their idea of curling weights is drinking beer with glass jugs!
is this what you mean?
dude, you're so far of the mark, drinking beer and lifting weights is counter productive for a start, you seem to do a lot of generalising here and who gives a f*ck if a guy wants to shave his body, big deal!! this is not 1970 bro.

as for eating sensibly (diet) being a battle, well it doesn't have to be that way, i think some people stress to much with this lifestyle, how many guys do you see in the gym that seem to look like they're about to have a heart attack, you're supposed to enjoy it for f*cksake! eating right really isn't that hard, it all depends on what motivates you and what your goals are but that's just my humble opinion.
