However, in the process of this vain understanding, one forgets that bodybuilding is ultimately a contest of exhibiting the aesthetics of the body, which is not defined only by the insane amount of muscle in one’s body. The wellness of the bodybuilders, when questioned, becomes so imbalanced that it gets concerning.

Tyler Manion, the vice President of NPC, shared a brief video on the Wellness Division, depicting the significance of the dos and don’ts of stereotypical bodybuilding. Manion had a supporter in IFBB Pro coach Greg Doucette who voiced his opinion on the concern.
