These days, whether you open a bodybuilding magazine or website, the second-most occurring word (after muscle) is hardcore. Hardcore workouts, fat burners, diets, cardio, the list goes on.
But does being a hardcore bodybuilder really mean? To me, it is definitely NOT being a 250lbs roidhead, running around in spandex and tight tops, talking about whether you should use more tren on your next cycle. In short, just generally being obnoxious in and outside the gym.
In order to be a hardcore bodybuilder, in my opinion, one must live this sport in a non-obtrusive and friendly manner. You should lead by example, eat your meals without being condescending toward others who might not have the will power. Train hard and heavy, while keeping good form.
Give polite and educated advice in the gym to those that ask. Be a teacher, but not a preacher.
Carry yourself well, inside and outside the gym. It doesn't hurt to have read a book or two either.
This, to me, is hardcore
