How would a writer know how many hours a day we work? How would they know how much we lift or how strong we are or how disciplined we have to be? How would they know any of this stuff if we didn’t tell them? My bodybuilding peers didn’t want to talk to journalists because they continually mischaracterized who we were and what we did, but not talking to them was how we got ourselves into this position of misunderstanding in the first place.
