HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN BODYBUILDERS AND SOME OF THEIR FANS?
I don’t think love/hate is really what’s behind it. Athletes are displaying
physiques that are difficult to develop. It’s a combination of a lot of
things—diet, training, genetics, discipline, all that. The people who are
throwing out the worst of the comments, I think it’s because they
can’t accomplish that kind of look on their own—it’s beyond what they
can achieve, either because of one of those factors I mentioned
before or for some other reason. It’s upsetting to them. The fact is
that only a small percentage of the population is going to have all
those factors working for them, and they’re not part of that small
percentage—and it makes them mad.
