Professional bodybuilding, exemplified by competitor Maik Ciesla, prioritizes extreme muscle development, often at significant personal cost. Ciesla's rigorous routine includes a strict diet of precisely measured meals, extensive supplementation (40 different types daily), and early morning weigh-ins, all in pursuit of the "perfect male body" for competitions like "Mr. Olympia," the world's most lucrative bodybuilding title. This dedication, however, carries substantial health risks, including potential heart problems, as evidenced by a study of over 20,000 male bodybuilders showing a high incidence of sudden cardiac death. Medical professionals warn of the increased likelihood of developing body image disorders like muscle dysmorphia due to the sport's intense focus on appearance, control, and comparison, alongside the potential impact of doping substances on cardiovascular health.
