This post is for anyone who wants to analyze the survey data and do some visualizations with it. Sorry for the delay, I had originally sent this as a private message to certain people but I didn't realize it got caught in a spam filter.

I'm tagging you here because you expressed some interest in doing analysis on the survey results. If you have time, do you think you could analyze the data and send me any visualizations or insights you come up with? I’m going to compile all of that in one post and I’ll credit you
You can find a csv of the data in this Dropbox: http://bit.ly/2RTJm5q
I'm not looking for anything in particular, but this might be a good start:
I found bodybuilding in a rough time in my life and it helped me come out of it a better person. Id love to hear your guys stories

Is there anything I can do to fix it? I don't know where else to ask this but basically it's been causing me nosebleeds for years, muscle asymmetry and it's making me really down and I have no idea where to turn.
I had lasik surgery, my right eye was better than my left, I can only breathe out of my right nostril, I can breathe maybe 10% out of my left so as a result and I get nosebleeds everyday in my right. Every muscle on my right side can do heavier weights at the gym and do more reps, is more defined. I try doing workouts more on just my leftside with dumbbells but it doesn't matter. My right pec is even higher than my left making one nipple about a full inch and a half higher after a few weeks at the gym and I'm getting made fun of for it by family, my facial hair isn't even symmetrical.
I've had anxiety and depression and I'd assume it's due to a dominate right brain and a lagging left brain causing a chemical imbalance. I'm a 22 year old male, 6' 173 lb
6'3" 170 lbs Mostly lean muscular body.
Wanted to get into weight lifting so I did. I noticed I have had to eat an absolutely ridiculous amount of food. Ive done research and eat primarily good carbs and protein. But Is this normal? Is there a way to lower the amount of food I consume but still be able to gain strength and physique? I'm almost considering slowing down amount lifting just so my body will be content with less food intake.
I’m currently trying to bulk up and look cut but I’ve got some fat to lose I’m currently on a high protein low carb diet doing 6-9 hours a week in body building and wondering if I should start jogging to lose the fat?
It's not easy to hold your own when you're training with IFBB bodybuilding pro and MHP athlete Chris Bumstead (especially when he's casually pressing 120-lb. dummbells), but teen bodybuilder contest winner Trevor Behney stepped up to the challange. Watch the two competitiors as they take on a gruelling shoulder workout and share stories about what made them get into workoing out. Plus get firsthand advice about training and the best moves to get Chris's massive shoulders from Chris himself.
They must have a lot of muscles to move right, so would they look like a bodybuilder if all fat (down to 4% BF) was magically removed? My prediction is that the midsection will look way off due to the visceral fat they have been carrying, and the proportions will look weird, but otherwise they will be very muscular.
EDIT: Also loose skin would be magically removed.

Could also include if they came up to you and you gave your piece of mind.
As the title says.
It’s been my life since I was 14 and I’m soon 18. I feel that if I’m ever going to compete on a stage with the best in 10 years I need to do something soon.
I’ve been so close to do steroids several times but the only thing holding me back is what my family are going to say. I don’t give a fuck about what other’s think I’m aiming for but I don’t want to go in with everything knowing that my family think that I’m doing a bad thing.
I read about Arnold for a couple of years ago, when he mentioned that he’s father had been a police officer all his life and that he wanted arnold to do the same. He chose to go all in for bodybuilding which is a thing many can’t do and especially with doubt from the nearest. Hou can clearly see where he is noe and how far he has come. I’m in the same spot just that I would like if there today is a way you could join something to get myself up there.
I’m pretty aware that what bodybuilders do is against the law with steroids, and many straight up lies about it which I think is hard to do if I know that everyone will notice that it’s gonna go quick to build a physique from something not bad at steroids on 18 to 20 years of age with 2 years of cycles and intensive training.
If you get wha I mean please help me out, someone must know a way. Like what about school and law... all that
When it comes to those of us who strength train, we often choose a camp to stick our flag in—it is never just strength training. We often label ourselves as either: a powerlifter, a bodybuilder, a Crossfitter, or an Olympic lifter. For powerlifters who want to be successful, you need to be, at least, bi-partisan when it comes to these camps. If you’re a powerlifter who wants to get to the top of their potential then you absolutely need to take a course in bodybuilding.

I almost never feel like exercising or doing all this crazy sh!t, I'm usually very tired and stressed out. I eat super healthy. I don't see how adding a bunch of pounds of weights on my back is going to help improve my health when I am barely struggling to get through basic day-to-day tasks, make sense? I lay around a lot because I am so tired and feel like crap and dull. But people tell me" You've gotta exercise" DUDE, for me to get up right now and go run 10 miles or even 1 or start doing squats, it just seems ridiculous and harmful and even more damaging and stressful.
Honestly it feels like it's adding more stress, killing me, and causing hair loss. Serious. I've actually seen my hair get thinner and recede more after intense weight sessions, changing nothing else in my routine and diet. Like it's just adding too much stress, so, I wanna be buff and strong and lean, but, the training seems to be killing me faster, so, wtf, uhh....
Is seems like sitting in meditation or something or laying down in bed for 4 hours would be a better option at this point for healing and gaining strength? Oh and I noticed after exercising I would feel even more depressed and anxious irritable and tired for so many days after, and of course sore. It just seems like it is adding all this stress on my plate for my body, which is bad. Can anyone give any feedback here?!!
ALSO Some say it releases endorphins for pleasure that cut pain receptors but aren't these purpose to get us through a survival intense temporary fight? Adrenaline-crazed warriors DO NOT drop quickly, ask anyone in the military they can charge you and take like 3 bullets before they know they're hit. It's common in the military or boxing or MMA after hyper vigilance fighting others they literally pass out from exhaustion from all the burned adrenaline and cortisol the next day, this just doesn't sound healthy long term: numbing body signals and pain so you can fight better? I find myself super fucked up after exercising, even gently, so I'm like, isn't meditation or lots of bed rest the better move to strengthen my baseline? Vs getting depression and diarrhea the next day from being so nervous and stressed from all the added weights and body movements....
TLDR: I feel like shit and overwhelmed by life. How is adding 300 lbs on my back or going out running and panting going to make my life easier and me feel better when my body is screaming at me to lay down and rest and I am super tired most of the time?

I constantly see the recommendation of eating 0.68-1.0 g/lbm (might not be those exact numbers, but around there). They are always scientifically cited with studies claimed to be done on trained and/or bodybuilding participants. If that is indeed the proven number need to build muscle then why do some bodybuilders, like phil heath or jay cutler, eat like 400+ grams of protein a day. Something doesn't add up.
I always read that the best rep range for hypertrophy is 8-12 reps, why is it that so many bodybuilders always go for the 12-15 rep count?
All the guys I'm watching look like they take roids / clen / whatever else to stay in the shape they're in.
I'm just about to be finished with 2 years of cutting weight and I'm almost ready to start bilking, I need advice on bulk / cut cycles from someone who doesn't use hard drugs so I don't waste time overeating/ bulking too slowly before going back to cutting and losing the muscle.
Is there anyone who gets tested and is known for sure to be clean that also makes good youtube content?

Title says it all. One thing I cannot seem to understand is how Dexter manages to win so many shows over bigger and better guys like Roelly or Ramy.
Case in point, Arnold Europe 2016. Dexter manages to win against Ramy despite losing in literally all 8 mandatory poses. (Seriously just look) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB_yXoXqT-g
Next off we have the 2016 New York Pro, where Dexter beats Roelly for the win after losing 7/8 mandatories and winning the back double biceps. (Could possibly win Side Chest depending on preference, but this is ridiculous.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udohB-EWE5Q
Even now in the Olympia he's still managing to do well even though his waist is uglier and wider than ever, spilling over his trunks with that weird oval shape. How he managed to beat Curry last year is beyond me and I'm glad he slipped down so far in placings. One main point people like to bring up is that he brings great conditioning every year and is "Aesthetic". The way I see it the last year he was actually aesthetic was 2011. After that he just went downhill and every year he looked worse and worse. Yet people still parade this man around like the last bastion of conditioning and lines even though his conditioning was average or even subpar for 90's standards. (Levrone's conditioning vs Dexter in 2016)
So, is Dexter Jackson incredibly overrated or am I just biased?

Which do you prefer or think works best to supplement extra development in quads, hamstrings, calves (still doing exercises, of course)? Maybe a mix? How do they compare in terms of affecting the knee joint?

I am punjabi myself (age 17) but born and raised in Canada and always thought I had decent genetics for muscle building and have good insertions, wide shoulders and small waist, with my weak point being my nonexistent delt definition. But recently I hear a lot about how Indian's have the worst genetics for pro bodybuilding and overall muscle building. I grew up never eating Indian food which I see a lot of people blaming. Are indian genetics the worst for bodybuilding or is it more of a country/diet/knowledge thing?
A youtuber by the name of Tomn8er made a video discussing why he thinks the current judging criteria is flawed, and i think he made some fantastic points.
Judging shows only on the basis of who won the most mandatorys is an inherently problematic method of judging. It allows Bodybuilders with MASSIVE flaws to get away with it by just playing to their strengths & ignoring their weaknesses. This moves bodybuilding away from "The most COMPLETE bodybuilder should win", which has always been considered the standard rule of bodybuilding.
Dorian Yates explained it best, he said something along the lines of: It didn't matter if my front double bicep was the worst in the whole line up, because i knew i'd win the other poses anyways. It was a calculated decision. I didn't NEED to have good biceps from the front to win, so i didn't.
-
This is the mentality that's ultimately lead to the bubble guts we see everywhere today. I think it's undeniable that all of Phil Heaths front poses have barely been top 6 worthy, let alone worthy of 1st place, but he gets 1st place anyways because he wins the majority of poses.
Compare this to the era of Frank Zane, where Zane won because ALL of his mandatories were worthy of being top 3, even if he didn't dominate any specific pose (aside from arguably abs & thighs).
Frank Zane won because the judging criteria allowed the most complete bodybuilder to win. Someone who placed well with each & every one of his mandatory poses, even if he didn't blow everyone out of the water with any specific one.
-
With Shawn winning this years Olympia, do you think the judges are finally moving back to the old mentality of awarding completeness instead of dominance?
And if they are, do you personally think it's a good decision?

Hey /r/bodybuilding, I made this survey for this subreddit and it'll be up for 2 weeks. It has 53 questions but each one is optional. I'm requiring you to sign in to Google so that each person only submits one response, but I'm not recording the emails so your responses will be anonymous to me. You can also edit your responses after you've hit the submit button.
There are almost 500K subscribers in this subreddit and there are 53 questions, so I'm going to be dealing with a lot of data. I'm not highly skilled in Excel, Python, or statistics, so I'd like a few volunteers to help me analyze and organize the data once this survey is over. For anyone who's already volunteered to help out, I'll make a post with the raw data file and tag you in it. If anyone else would like to be tagged too, send me a message or a post reply.
When analyzing the data, we'll try to remove the obvious joke answers. If everyone who comes up with nice analyses/graphs PM's me within a month of the survey completion, I'll compile all the graphics/findings into one post and share it with all of you. Whoever helps me out can get whatever flair they want (That's better than Reddit Gold, right?)
When someone says “ you need to ingest .60-.80 G protein per pound of weight to maintain muscle mass” do they mean the lb of lean mass or the total body weight? What’s the difference between the two?
