What sort of strength training is legal and which form isn't? Did the pictures provoke you to lust after him? Which sort of athletics is NOT ever about vanity? And if a champion loves to run his race as the Scriptures say, isn't there a lawful feeling of accomplishment?
And yes, bodybuilding disgusts me, like it does most wrestlers. But I realize that's my personal opinion, and that's all it is. | Um...no...they didn't provoke me to lust after him. And I didn't mention vanity. Did you read all of the OP? 
I'm wondering whether it's any better to be a male in a bodybuilding show than it is for a woman to be in the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated. I wouldn't want my little sister, if I had one, nor my fiance, perusing those pictures.

This may explain the old adage about Baptists being Methodists with shoes, and Presbyterians being Baptists who can read. To round out the adage, Lutherans might qualify as Presbyterians who drink to excess, and Episcopalians as Lutherans who know when to say when. - D.G. Hart
