Joys of Being a Nudist Bodybuilder

For any of you, does bodybuilding make you enjoy being nude even more. I know that's the case for me. And yet, some people say you can't be both a bodybuilder and a nudist.

I don't see why not. Bodybuilders wear next to nothing when they compete. Prior to the late1980's, it was not unusual for bodybuilders to train nude in male only locations.

If you work hard to build your body and are happy to share your results with others, then why not nude?

Minimalist75, I didn't know bodybuilders used to train nude in male-only locations. Also, I don't know anybody who thinks you can't both a bodybuilder and a nudist. I just know that one of the tenets of nudism is body positivity. A lot of people think that if you're a nudist, you should believe all bodies are beautiful and that you don't think that if you're trying to change the way your body looks. I've never met anyone like that luckily. I just feel like that's the attitude some people would have towards nudism.

I like that viewpoint, Steve.

You are way to young to remember it. I saw it a few times in the 70's and 80's and heard and read about it more often.

I have a small home gym and workout in the nude all the time. Im certainly not on par with a professional body builder but I dont see why you couldnt be both if you enjoy it.

I joined a men's athletic club in the early 80s. They went on and on about how the weight/exercise room is NOT clothing optional -- the rest of the club was clothing optional.

I didn't figure out why they were making such a big deal of it until about 20 years later. Then, suddenly, Oh, the entire place used to be clothing optional. Duh! I'm guessing the switch to having the weight/exercise room be clothing required was fairly recent when I joined.

What areas beside the pool were clothing optional?

I've enjoyed doing nude run and I prefer to run nude when I can. I've worked out nude at a few nudist resorts, wish they put more effort to upkept the equipment.
