Here's why:
Bodybuilding, even at a non-professional level, often involves unhealthy extremes due to its competitive nature. These include joint and muscle injuries from heavy lifting, cardiovascular strain from excess muscle mass, and metabolic issues from frequent bulking and cutting. Restrictive diets and dehydration can cause nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and kidney problems.
Mentally, the pressure to maintain a certain physique can lead to body image issues and disordered eating.
While moderate weightlifting with proper nutrition and training is healthy, bodybuilding's emphasis on ever-increasing muscle size and low body fat can negatively impact overall health.
Are you a bodybuilder?
I have been lifting weights for over 50 years and love it. But I am not a bodybuilder. Just an athlete.
“Are you a bodybuilder?”
I do, and have done, a bodybuilding workout for 35 years. I have never competed, and at this point never will. I totally understand people who use the excuses in your comment. Bodybuilding is hard. You might strain a muscle for crying out loud. The last thing most people want to do is wake up one day and accidentally have “excessive body mass”, because that happens all the time. Let’s look at the words in your copy and paste:

Personally, I’ll take the risk. You can have the last word.
