"Especially if you're under harsh lighting," he added. "So that's why on stage bodybuilders really have to tan, because when those lights are shining at you, if you're not darker, you're going to appear very washed out."
During our telephone consultation, Adnan told me that his current dating profile included only selfies, so "I don't have a lot of good online dating photos," he said. "Sometimes I look in the mirror at myself, and then I look at my pictures, and it looks like two different people, even after flipping the images back. And, I'm not comfortable being photographed," he confided.
Not too long later, we met up with Adnan at Gaithersburg, Maryland's Seneca Creek State Park. Adnan brought along his mountain bike as a prop, and while we didn't include any bodybuilding props, we were able to demonstrate his physique as a bodybuilder in his online dating photos!
Over the last couple of months, I have sat down for several interviews with magazines and newspapers that have written articles on my career and my pending retirement.
Oddly, in addition to asking me about my broadcasting career, they always also ask about my years as a competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder, primarily because it's always listed as my hobby in my workplace biographies.
It's the same when I'm invited as a keynote speaker at an event, and they read my bio as an introduction, again, always including my hobby and the list of weightlifting and bodybuilding titles that I have won.
I'm always amazed at how many times people on the street mention to me they remember or heard I was a bodybuilder and ask if I'm still training.
Even in the age of the internet, if you Google my name, the words "weightlifter" and "bodybuilder" typically come up in the title line, but there are no pictures to prove it.
So, as I make my exit from public life, I've decided to satisfy the curiosity-seekers who want to know more about that part of my life by posting a few pictures. This is the first and only time I will do this.
Each picture list the event, the year and the title or championship I competed in and won.
In case you're wondering, I'm still pumping iron five days a week at age 69, and I hope these photos, in some way, motivate you to maintain a healthy lifestyle!
A common practice among bodybuilders is the use of carbohydrate loading to improve physical appearance during competition, while limited documented data is available about this issue. The aim of the present study was to evaluate muscle thickness, mood states, gastrointestinal symptoms and subjective silhouette assessment following carbohydrate loading in bodybuilders. Twenty-four male bodybuilders were evaluated at the weighing period following three days of carbohydrate depletion (M1), and 24h of carbohydrate loading leading up to the competition (M2), stratified into: no carbohydrate load (NC, n = 9) and carbohydrate loading (CL, n =1 5). The silhouette scale, Brunel mood scale (BRUMS), muscle thickness (ultrasound), circumferences, and gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) were evaluated at M1 and M2. The NC displayed no differences in muscle thickness and circumferences between M1 and M2. Body mass, muscle thickness (elbow flexors, a combination of biceps brachii/ brachialis muscle, and triceps brachii) and circumferences (chest, hip, thigh, arm, calves, and forearm) increased significantly (p < 0.05) in the CL at M2. There was a significant increase in photo silhouette scores (p < 0.05) in the CL at M2. There was no significant difference in mood states between groups or time. The most reported GIS was constipation: 7/9 (NC) and 9/15 (CL) during M1 and 6/9 (NC), and 5/15 (CL) at M2 with symptoms described as 'moderate' or 'severe'. Diarrhea was reported by 7/15 CL (4/15 as severe). These data suggest that carbohydrate loading may contribute to an acute increase in muscle volume and physical appearance, however, it needs to be better planned to minimize gastrointestinal symptoms in bodybuilders.
Figure 2 provides frequency graphs of BIG O muscle mass scores of bodybuilders. The average BIG O ideal muscle mass scores (72.24 14.63) were observed to be significantly higher than BIG O current muscle mass scores (54.31 20.09). The data indicated that bodybuilders want to be leaner (less fat) and more muscular. There was no difference in BIG O results between competitive and noncompetitive bodybuilders (data not reported).
Murray et al. (2017) determined a correlation between muscle dysmorphia symptoms and eating disorders in 21 muscle dysmorphia patients, 24 anorexia nervosa patients, and 15 recreationally gym-using controls. The anorexia and muscle dysmorphia patients were diagnosed by a clinical psychiatrist or psychologist, then to investigate the relationship between ED and MD, the screening tools of MD and ED were applied to both patients and recreationally gym-using controls. It was reported that both anorexia patients and muscle dysmorphia patients had symptomatic similarities and similar scores than gym-using controls. In this study, it was reported that there was a significantly positive relationship between MDDI and EAT-40 in both professional and recreational bodybuilders. These findings support that there was a significant positive correlation between body dissatisfaction and eating disorders in bodybuilders.
Cafri et al. (2005) indicated that the desired muscular body ideal for the purposes of self-satisfaction and/or sports performance has become a major issue in males. The increased concern about being more muscular had health-threatening problems has caused to increase the prevalence of disordered eating pathology and body dissatisfaction symptomatology, both the clinical and subclinical levels (Chapman & Woodman, 2016). Bodybuilder Image Grid regarded as a perceptional measure that represents the discrepancy between current and desired percent of body fat and body mass (Hildebrandt, Langenbucher, & Schlundt, 2004) (Figure 5). There are limited data discussing the association between body image perception and disordered eating behaviors in male bodybuilders. In this study, according to the correlation between the BIG and EAT-40, it was identified that higher scores for eating disorders indicated a desire for more muscle mass.
The frequency of body dissatisfaction in athletes with eating disorders is influenced by the type of sports they participate in. Anderson, Reilly, Gorrell, and Anderson (2016) conducted a study with adult runners, which is one of weight-sensitive sports. They reported that disordered eating symptoms of female runners were significantly related with image-related body dissatisfaction, and this relationship was not demonstrated in male runners. Athletes from aesthetic sports has more disordered eating symptoms then nonathletic populations due to environment pressure, as Krentz and Warchburger (2011) found in 96 elite athletes from aesthetic sports and 96 sex-matched non-athletes. In weight-dependence sports, such as wrestling, judo, rowing, the athletes purposed to obtain the lowest possible body weight to get advantage in sports performance. The purpose caused abnormal eating behaviors (Currie, 2010). On the other side, bodybuilding is directly an appearance-based sport that focuses on building muscles. Research on bodybuilding identified that appearance intolerance could be the main reason that caused eating and muscle dysmorphic disorders. Pickett et al. (2005) demonstrated that bodybuilders had higher self-reported disordered eating symptoms than control groups. Hallsworth, Wade, and Tiggemann (2005) examined the levels of self-objectification in bodybuilders, weightlifters and nonathletic controls. It was reported that bodybuilders had significantly higher levels of self-objectification than weightlifters and nonathletic controls, and the self-objectification mainly based on appearance anxiety. A research on eating disorders, and muscle dysmorphic disorders performed by Santarnecchi and Dettore (2012) identified that competitive bodybuilders had higher muscle dysmorphia symptoms than noncompetitive and nonathletic controls, and the correlation between MDDI scores were statistically positively correlated with BIG S scores. The results from this study indicated that 53.7% of bodybuilders had body dissatisfaction, and this result correlated significantly with eating disorder scores (according to EAT-40) (r = .614, p < .01).
Perhaps we have a weak stomach, but there is something about these photos that makes our belly turn a bit. First, Belgian photographer Kurt Stallaert's series, Bodybuilder's World, started innocent enough; a family that looked a little too buff for their own good. Then the surreal, doctored photos of children who hit the gym with a steroid rage started to make us feel... intrigued and disturbed all at once. But, we love it, too. It feels like a Boris Vallejo painting come to life! We wouldn't mess with these kids. (via)

Redditors were in disbelief by Bergie's impressive stature and displayed confidence. One user said they "thought his face was photoshopped into that body." Bergie's appearance and personality on the show versus the surfaced photo are so contradictory, that fans began speculating whether it was intentional by producers for Bergie to present differently.
Fans were surprised to see Bergie pictured with the overly-bronzed fitness competition spray tan due to what's commonly associated with his personality type and those of bodybuilders. The fan-favorite islander tackles many societal norms with his rare representation of a male bodybuilder turned reality TV star. And it has done him good, as Carmen is leaning toward him over self-proclaimed macho-man Victor Gonzalez. While some still think Bergie isn't fit for the island for his characteristics outlined above, many want to see him come out on top.
