Bodybuilding is not a sport.

[gordiano]

Bodybuilding is a drug habit. (Take the drugs, feed the ego = ADDICTION)

Bodybuilding is a charade.

Bodybuilding is drugs, oil, thongs, perverts, and obsession with masculinity.

Wow, I agree with you. As far as the competitive side of it goes.....

For me, personally, bbing is a lifestyle. A challenge I can meet head on, daily. No drugs, no thongs for me. Personally, I trhink its a great pastime/hobby, when kept in perspective.

the only problem with that is that then you can never look like a bodybuilder

then the people around you may think you are a failure at your hobby when in fact you work very hard at it

i wouldnt call bodybuilding a sport, cuz its a life style. much more complex and time consuming and intricate and costly than any sport.

 

Clueless.

...So I guess the question is, "Is bodybuilding an athletic activity?"

I'd say it certainly does fulfill the skill or physical prowess requirement.
(Knowing what to build up, how to do it, how to pose effectively, etc...)

By the looks of it, it gave her one too.

             Can that Guy actually see without those Thick Fukin glasses.FFS

That is what they hire "gurus" for. The act of bodybuilding is a physical activity, the act of posing onstage for men oiled up in a thong.......is gay.

I see what you're saying, and I agree. You're talking about the action of building your body, not the showing it off part.

[The GodFather]

A Body built with heavy weights and without MASSIVE amounts of Drugs is a Body you can have for LIFE.Unlike the Pros who go off the source and end up looking like a school boys.FFS

Yes, bodybuilding with drugs and bodybuilding without are far different.

With drugs, gains come more quickly, but are temporary and training is higher volume and more frequent than without.
Without, gains come more gradually, but are fairly permanent and training is less volume and less frequent than with.

(This is assuming both are training with high intensity, of course.)

Bottom line, people who are not taking drugs should be careful about taking training advice from those who do take drugs.

             Does that include Synthol advice from someone who almost DIED from a Synthol shot?

Bodybuilding is a sport. Ron A is a bodybuilder. Bob C represents professional athletes. Goatboy lifts weights. What is so hard to accept about any of this?

A most muscular is a touchdown.

A back double bi is a field goal. So is a front double bi.

A lat spread is a safety.

The rest are extra points.

Winning a show is winning a game.
