There's a differenbetween weight training and bodybuilding, which
is what the original comment was about. Bodybuilding involves
creating a metabolically expensive physique, for aesthetic
reasons. Many bodybuilders will willingly forfeit health
considerations, if necessary, to do it. There is a trade-off
between things such as strength, size, form, speed, and metabolic
expensiveness. Bodybuilders emphasize size and form. This is
probably not something that paleo people would have done.
