Pro Bodybuilders, is Exercise selection cope?
I am a natural casual gym goer, but for whatever reason i really like professional bodybuilding, because i think its really impressive.
Today i asked if selecting Gear is a skill or if all Guys run the same, i got told there is no variance and every pro Bodybuilder runs the same.
Now what about “Exercise selection”
Are there “better” chest exercises then others? Is selecting exercises cope because chest is chest, or how do the pros see this?
I cant make a example, but are there “better” exercises then others because off angle, or is this a cope?
Example, can it be that doing normal benchpress, grows you more then dumbbell chestpress? Can it be that Guy 1 grows more with bench and Guy 2 grows more with dumbbell?
Offcourse as a casual “losing” 2% is irrelevant, you’re not a pro. Just hit the part bro.
But what about being pro? Is there a lot off tracking which exercises give you more growth?

Does every Pro Bodybuilder run the same stack, or do "better connected" ones have access to better stuff?
I asked this myself, did some ronnie coleman have access to better stuff because he had a better nutritionist or is "taking Gear" solved? What is the narrative?
Do all Guys run the same?

Which gym would you choose? Better equipment and convenience vs. a bigger gym with a better vibe?
Hey guys,
I know this probably isn’t the ideal place to ask this kind of question, but I’m genuinely struggling to make a decision and would really appreciate some advice.
I’m currently deciding between two gyms, and I’m not sure which one would be the better choice for me.
Gym 1:
● Only a 5-minute drive from my house.
● Has some of the best equipment I’ve seen: Gymleco, Cybex, Nautilus, Granite, Prime, etc.
● The equipment is honestly amazing, but the gym itself is quite small.
● For some reason, I just don’t really feel the atmosphere there. I’ve only been there once, so maybe I need to give it more time.
Gym 2:
● A much much bigger gym with pretty much everything you could ask for.
● Has an entire Panatta setup
● I really enjoy training there. I can have a great workout, push myself hard, and just feel good about being there.
● The downside is that it’s a 30-minute drive from my house.
So basically, I’m torn between having access to some incredible equipment just 5 minutes away, but not really enjoying the overall vibe, or driving 30 minutes to a gym where I genuinely enjoy training.
I know the equipment at the first gym is probably way better in some areas, but I also feel like the overall environment plays a huge role in how much I enjoy working out.
Would you give the first gym another chance? Maybe I just need to get used to it and stop judging it after one visit.
Or would you just go with the gym where you actually enjoy spending time, even if it means driving an hour round trip every time you train?
I’m curious what you guys would do in my situation. Would love to hear your thoughts and advice.
Thanks in advance!

What disadvantage does someone have if he decides to do jump on test, if hes willing to do it till the rest off his Life?
I would like a perspective, because i see this this way as a noob.
The Disadvantage off T is that you dont produce yourself anymore, but what if you just commit to it till your death? Then you just have advantages right or is this cope?
I am talking exclusively off blasting T in normal doses.

Married to bodybuilder…is this normal?
My husband (29) and I (35) have been married for a year and a half, and we have two small children. He’s pursuing his goal of becoming a professional bodybuilder, which I’ve always wanted to support.
Recently, during an argument, he told me, “Just let me focus on becoming pro and take care of things on your own.” He also asked that we limit communication to only matters involving the kids.
He recently left town for work on short notice, leaving me to handle everything with our children, miss three weeks of work, and arrange daycare. When I expressed that I felt abandoned, he rolled his eyes, said “Have a good week,” and ended our call.
I understand bodybuilding requires tremendous dedication and sacrifice, but I also believe marriage and parenting require teamwork.
To those of you who are married with children and pursuing bodybuilding seriously, how do you balance your goals with your responsibilities to your family? Is this something other spouses experience?
