I’m either going to make some friends or some enemies with this article, but it needs to be said. There’s a toxic side of bodybuilding. If you’ve been in the industry for 20+ years like I have, it’s undeniable.

I’ve had the luxury of working with some of the top bodybuilders in the world back when I worked for MET-Rx. Guys like Phil Heath and Greg Plitt. And ladies like Nicole Wilkins. There’s an unpleasant and obsessive side.

Bodybuilding is supposed to be about self-improvement. About pushing limits, building muscle, and getting stronger — both physically and mentally. But there’s a dark side. One that doesn’t get talked about enough.
