Bodybuilding appears to be a glamorous sport. Athletes are on center stage, posing and flexing for the audience, and they are being cheered by fans around the world.

I REALLY DON’T want to die here. That’s all I’m thinking as my toes maintain a death grip on the edge of the pool at a Life Time gym in midtown Manhattan.
