Duncan Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 People can do what they want without my interference but what would you think about a Bishop who body builds and goes into contests and gets tanned and shaved an all that stuff? Would it make a difference if he worked for the Church? I know there isn't a question on the Temple Recommend list about bodybuilding in your spare time but!

Would it make a difference if he worked for the Church? I know there isn't a question on the Temple Recommend list about bodybuilding in your spare time but!Ummm... I'd think body building bishops are/would be extremely rare, given that men who've reached the level of maturity of a bishop would likely be past their prime to participate in bodybuilding...Plus, speaking as a father and breadwinner, I don't know how other fathers (not to mention bishops) would have time to raise a family, perform bishoply duties, AND spend so much time at the gym so as to compete (that level of committment usually requires 3 hours or so at the gym). As a gay divorcee, I'm very aware of my own body, physically, and realize I can't compete with many other gay men who spend hours at the gym working out--it's challenging to find enough time to stay in shape, let alone build muscle mass.Daniel2

ERMD Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 If he is called, ordained, and faithfully magnifies his calling as both father and bishop, then why not?I don't see how there would be time for all of it, though.Why do you ask? 1
emeliza Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Does this have anything to with the BYU student who got into 'trouble' for his skimpy dance outfit when he auditioned for some TV show?

Mars Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I just wanted to peddle a reason why I don't go to the gym.

Duncan Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 Does this have anything to with the BYU student who got into 'trouble' for his skimpy dance outfit when he auditioned for some TV show?haha! no! I wonder whatever happened with him!
mfbukowski Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Complete and utter ditto.I'm just glad I can bike to work to hold on to whatever physique I've ever had.I love riding a bike. I know a guy who rides 50 miles a day at least, and often does 100 per day. Per day! He spends 5-6 hours a day in the saddle.He is well into his 70's. He's healthy as can be! He wears his spandex and lycra and has a leather seat in his underwear.His face looks like a leather raccoon- leather except for white "goggles" around his eyes, where his sunglasses are.The only problem is his physique- he kind of looks like a Tyrannnosaurus Rex- huge chest, huge legs and spindly little arms.But man, can he roar!And no, he's not a bishop!

Log Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Hey, I wonder if one can find a RS president who pole dances on the weekends, like that firefighter on America's Got Talent. No problem there, right?
Mars Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) I bike 6 miles a day to and from work. That's 4 separate 1.5 mile trips. Then my wife and I (when it's not raining) put the boys in the trailer and go around the neighborhood for 20 or 30 minutes every evening.I'm just glad I can get my blood moving, be outside, and take in the gorgeous scenery of where I live rather than sit at home, gorge on cheese balls, and watch re-runs of 24, Friends, Scrubs, or whatever else I decide to watch. I can assure you that if we didn't have our bikes, that is most certainly what I will do. (Have done.) Edited June 20, 2011 by Mars

Here I sit watching my middle expand at a phenomenal rate!
Mars Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Here I sit watching my middle expand at a phenomenal rate!~sips Mountain Dew~I know what you mean...I have it *extremely good.* Awesome job, good pay, killer benefits, 1.5 miles down the road, and living in the blessed country of the Gods... Extremely good, indeed.

Mars Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Wellllllll...I don't sip the Mountain Dew so much as I tenderly caress the aluminum while pressing my lips against it to quench my profound gulf of fiery thirst with its pleasure inducing effervescent flavors... Then I gently rest the beverage next to me and whisper "my precioussssss..." to it... 1

Doctor Steuss Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) (that level of committment usually requires 3 hours or so at the gym). Hi Daniel2,I think this is a pretty common misconception of what it takes to be a natural bodybuilder.If you want to be a carded pro, then perhaps you would need 3 hours (and a lot of pharmaceutical “assistance”), but the average amateur natural bodybuilder would severely over-train in that amount of time. Not to mention the many physiological setbacks that accompany working out that long if bodybuilding is your goal (for example, the testosterone drop, cortisol spike, glycogen depletion, etc.).What you do outside of the gym is exponentially more important than what you do inside the gym when it comes to bodybuilding.
