The camaraderie among the natural competitors in the sport, the determination and passion it requires

What I dislike most about Bodybuilding:

It's not a part of the Olympics, the lack of understanding about it and the assumptions people make about it, the self-centeredness it requires and how it can often negatively affect our relationships, and the unhealthy behaviors around food and weight that it can sometimes perpetuate when you are using unrealistic eating and exercise strategies and plans by trainers and nutritionists who do not have the requisite knowledge to be doing what they do
