It's been my experience that most bodybuilders are pretty sharp. While it's difficult to quantify what qualifies as a bodybuilder and what does not, I think most of you guys know a bodybuilder when you see one. That got me to thinking. Do we become more intelligent than average as we pursue our passion for Bodybuilding or do superior intellects gravitate towards bodybuilding and our physical ideals? I pretty frequently have people make reference to my intellect. I don't feel I'm any smarter than anyone else, but I've noted that I rarely have difficulty understanding things. I certainly don't feel it's a genetic thing as my younger brother isnt exactly an intellectual. While he is in good shape, something I attribute to our better than average genetics, he's never been able to reach the level I have despite much fewer demands on his time and what seems to be more dedication to training and diet.
