the amateur typesreal names, brandon myles white Y hudson white They are widely recognized as one of the most entertaining fitness influencers. In a recent video posted to his YouTube channel, Hudson shared the worst side effects of getting into bodybuilding.
Buff Dudes made a name for themselves trying new and intense challenges. They routinely take on various types of diets and exercises to push their limits. In addition to the entertaining aspect, his videos are also informative as they debunk popular myths by putting them to the test. In July, they created the ‘The most dangerous dumbbell in the world‘ called the ‘death bells’, a set of custom weights made by a professional blacksmith that was covered in spikes.
Last month, they came together to perform old school bodybuilding exercises that were created in the middle of the 20th century. After a grueling routine of six full-body exercises, both brothers were exhausted from their strength-training session. They reported positive findings from unorthodox training.
The bodybuilding duo took on the Extreme Training Hotshot 500a laborious high intensity training hike created by wildland firefighters from the Interagency Hotshot Crew (IHC). To make things even more difficult, they carried a 50-pound backpack throughout the entire workout, including completing the body weight exercises.
Buff Dudes Share The Worst Side Effects Of Bodybuilding
In a recent YouTube video, Buff Dudes’ Hudson White shared some of the worst side effects of getting into bodybuilding.
Bodybuilding Side Effects Nobody Wants To Talk About:
1. Stretch marks
“It gave me a lot of insecurities and it was frustrating. You want to go to the gym to look better, but in my mind, I thought I looked worse. I took extreme measures, wearing longer shirts to cover my biceps. I tried every oil and lotion you can make and they never went away. They fade over time.”
2. Self-esteem
“A lot of us went into this to boost our confidence. We want people to look at us and say, ‘wow, they’re bigger, skinnier. That must mean they’re somehow better, right? That is not necessarily the case. Some of the bigger, skinnier guys are also the most insecure because it didn’t really fix that problem. Sometimes, you can be hypercritical of yourself. I would suggest not starting to exercise just to make people look at it better because it will likely never give you the satisfaction you thought it would.”
3. You will be tagged
“Suddenly you’re like an alien species to a lot of people. Macronutrients, protein is a foreign language to many people who think they will never understand. It is very sad because it is very easy to understand. Just because you enjoy improving both physically and mentally doesn’t mean you’re weird. But for a lot of people, even today, you are.”
4. Being accused of steroid abuse
“You just have to take it in stride and almost as a compliment. If you’re a natural, there’s not much point in arguing with someone because they’ve probably already made up their minds.”
In August, the Buff Dudes challenged themselves to run for 30 days straight. While many bodybuilders neglect cardio as a training method, the brothers have never shied away from incorporating it. They didn’t even change their daily training routine and instead added running on top of their regular workouts.
At the end of the month, they reported that each of them lost a pound but did not lose any gains. They debunked the myth that doing cardio would reduce muscle mass and suggested that it be part of your training.
