But seriously I would see it as christain liberty, as long as they keep it in its proper place (i.e. not to an idolitrous level) then good luck to our beefcake brethren.
Yes, that makes sense. Although several people have brought up the question of idolatry, I was more concerned not about him lifting a lot of weights in general (I know there's nothing wrong with working out), but competing in competitions and posting pictures to show himself off posing in skimpy bathing suits.
