This is all completely unrelated to christianity.
What next? Are we going to start threads about our favorite origami techniques?
Take your hobbies to a corresponding board, go back to /fit.

Stop using the Lord as advertisement for your products!
Blasphemous!

It's about being big. That's why at the bodybuilding competitions, they wear as little clothing as possible.
Weight lifting is one thing, but bodybuilding is vanity. Honestly too, I would advise helping elderly people w/ yardwork, picking up metal scraps and farming to get your workouts in. I still go on a run every now and then but I try to make most of my energy output actual physical labor, not meaningless

Christianity encompasses human life. Asking how this hobby can be properly embedded in the Christian life is perfectly fine.

Guys, guys, guys! You're all going about this the wrong way! If you really want to get this thread locked, and have all discussion of bodybuilding/fitness/etc. de facto forbidden on this board forever, there has already been proven and effective system devised for this very purpose!
Here's what you do:
Step 1: Report to the mods that you did image searches on Google/Bing/etc. based on bodybuilding, fitness, etc.
Step 2: Say to the mods that you are concerned that male Christians struggling with the passion of hetero lust/ or same sex attraction, or female Christians, may stumble upon images of shirtless muscled up men and tank-top yoga pants wearing women and thus be scandalized by passions of lust! (don't forget to emphasize that they may inadvertently stumble upon outright nudity or porn if they forget to turn on their Safe Search!)
Step 3: Mod proceeds to lock this thread with the following message/justification:
Step 4: People in this thread will complain in the mod thread. From here you:
Step 5: Counter their passionate and reasonable protestations to your unreasonable views by calling them "idolators" of the hobby of bodybuilding/fitness. Condescendingly, tell them to stop acting like children throwing a temper tantrum, and that not always getting your way is part of life (even though you just got your way through the most underhanded and whiny manner possible!)
Step 6: Be sure to add a layer of sanctimoniousness by claiming that you "Are just concerned for the souls of fellow Christians." Don't forget to say that you will pray for them/pray the rosary for them, so that you can be especially holier than thou!

You'll be reunited with your body on judgement day, so why not make it stronk and capable?
