Most guys on here seem to like weight training,nutrition, adding muscle size etc but think bodybuilding as a "sport" is gayer than a dvd boxset of queer eye for the straight guy.Discuss
-
Not only is it a sport for the elite but it is the greatest sport!
When done properly!
-
Chess, dart throwing and syncronised swimming are counted as sports. If so i say bodybuilding makes the list. Being musclebound would be a test of anyones endurance, bluto need not worry, he needs 100lb's of mass yet before he's muscle bound at 215lb :D

Im talking about Pro Level and getting up onstage in a thong, wearing baby oil and the Shmoes cheering when they get a look at your buttcrack

So you think oiled up men, posing for a large male audience in a thong is respectable Chick?
-
For me pro bodybuilding died as a sport somewhere round the year 2001, but I still respect bodybuilding as a sport and as a means to build, not only ones body, but confidence, mind, personality, etc.
SERGIO!!!!

He aint lying down getting nailed in the ass with an electronic dildo like Melissa D. Chick has my support... give em hell budday ;D

I dont think anyone questions that part, Im talking about when the money gets involved, the politics of pro level, the audience of pro level, the "way" the pros have to make money to survive etc. The things you described I cringe to term under the name "bodybuilding" as it taints it too much.
-

I've trained and competed for 28 years...never once have I worn a "thong" on stage.
I've also been to hunderds of BB shows, both amateur and professional...I would say the crown is 50/50.

so you are saying, on the record ,that the trunks havnt shrunk since say Arnolds day to display more of the male glutes?
-

lol ;D It always amazes me that chick gets so much hate and yet Dan Solomon doesnt get any criticism.
-
bodybuilding = greatest sport
-
Of course they have, as glute developement became a means to indicate conditioning, the trunks got smaller to reflect it...times change.
Whats your point?
-

...and you think that was the sole reason for it?

He's just a little insecure because after the pose down his pants are painted white ;D
-
It's lack of minimum comon sense to associate individual problems with the sport. Bodybuilding as any other sport has individuals with high and low moral values.
-
No other reason I can think of....
What's the reasoning behind football pants getting smaller and tighter?
Baseball....went from big old baggy pants, to skin tight spandex-like pants...
Again...whats your point?

I disagree, the gay image has been played up by practically every BB that I have seen in 1 form or another.

He just went out to costco for a keyboard cover, getting ready to watch this years olympia without any hassels :D

The same reason that 100 metre runners have it done too, Aerodynamics, why Chick do BB need to make use of Aerodynamics?
-
I respect bodybuilders especially ones like chick..... but there is way to much homoerotic behaviour in todays "sport" (see JOJ, Derek Anthony etc)

Exactly, the fact Bob isnt willing to admit to this shows how large the problem is considering his candidness on most other aspects.

Agreed he is brutally honest regarding bodybuilding for the most part..... I think the homoerotic themes are part of the reason bodybuilding will never go mainstream...... Just look at the PDI which I rwspect for trying to help bodybuilding, but they fucking dress up like male strippers...... Arnold must be shaking his head seeing displays like that
-
Dude, another "Bbing is gay" thread. How original... I think that nowhere on the web is bbing gayer than on Getbig...
-
The percentages are the same in BB as any other sport...5-10%.
As I said...you see what you want to see.
You look at a BB and automatically think "oiled up men in thongs..gay...etc."
I look at a BB and think....it's a BB.
Maybe you should look at yourself and try and figure out why you automatically have this train of thought when you see a man...

The % may be the same, but the % waching certainly isnt.This is blatantly played up to by the "athletes" to maintain all around revenue, your denial is hilarious.
-
I dont find anything wrong with bodybuilding obviously I like the sport or I wouldnt be here in the first place..... its just the direction bb seems to e going that I have a problem with.... ie the glute thing.... imo there is no need to so vividly display the glutes
-
I must say your understanding of the sport is very limited. Again It is obvious that several BB use bad judgement, but that has nothing to do with bodybuiding itself. Maybe we should close the NFL because all of them seem to beat their wifes....come on your poit is so weak.....If you don't like BB is always sycronize swiming
-
Have you ever been to a BB show? It's about as evenly attended as anything else...I'd venture to say that a football game has a much higher % of men that attend than women....is it "gay"?
What is "blatently played up on"?
-

The problem is larger than "several BB", why does the average person who has never heard of "several BB" think BB is a gay freakshow?
-
With all due respect....I don't know who are your friends ???.....

Chick, when are you gonna get it? BBing is gay is gay is gay... I read it on Getbig, it must be true!!!
Seriously though, this topic does seem to come up real often on here. I mean, what's the point of bringing it up so frequently, has bbing gotten any gayer this past month than it was before?!

Most people cant get into any kind of shape, theres epic jealousy on their part. The people who look at bodybuilding and see men in a gay way have some insecurity issues. All homo's downplay their love for the ass before they come out and say they are a fag. Good luck

I agree thats a small part, but in no way the largest part that turns people off.

True, some people just dont like the conditioning, they can appreciate a sub 10% BB in good shape but not sub 5% ripped to shreds. Either way the majority of people dont even care about health its just weight loss that concerns them and the vanity aspect of it. I know alot of people feel insecure when watching comps though, on one side you go this new age metrosexual man bullshit going on and on the other you got men with insecurity issues.

Like groundhog day for you, huh?

Bob on the issue of fagg0try in the IFBB:

Goatboy on any issue:

You would think in the way that bb'ing is spoken of on these boards that bb'ers are giving BJ's to each other on stage & it's part of the pre contest schedule.What some bb'ers do to earn money outside of the contest arena has nothing to do w/competing on stage.Welllll,...unless it's gay 4 placings which I have yet to see definitive proof of.
-
the bullshit these fools are talking about, are in the vast minority...it's their own issues that make it a priority to frequent a BB site, and spew this garbage...obviously looking for others who have the same outlook...
Birds of a feather...
-
It's all in the eye of the beholder...
You know what? You are exactly right...i thought this was a "bodybuilding" board when i first came around and then had to realize pretty fast that a lot of folks are anti bodybuilding, anti Pro bodybuilding and so on.

The point is that those guys do things that are admireable. People often say " I would like to throw a fast ball like A-rod or Hit like Jeter. I would like to have the hands of Marvin Harrison or the arm of Peyton manning. No one says I want to talk like Ronnie Coleman or have the health of Flex.

So true, the life of a Pro BB is a no win situation.

Bodybuilding IS NOT a sport and bodybuilders ARE NOT athletes!!

Bodybuilders are athletes if they can do athletic things, like run a 100 yards..

If by bodybuilding as a sport you mean guys wearing bikinis, oiled up and bouncing off diving boards, and by diving boards I mean penises, then yes I'd consider it a sport.

...and no one says "I want to talk like A-rod"...or..."I want the health of Orlando Pace"
If you're going to use a context...use a correct one. A BB fan says "I'd like to look like Mark Dugdale", or "man, I'd love to have arms like Ronnie Coleman".
-
"man, I'd love to have arms like Ronnie Coleman".
His gut too?

How many guys over the age of 22 actually want to look like a pro bber?????????
-

very very few. because they realize it is an unrealistic goal unless you are trying to be a pro bodybuilder.

"want to" and "have the ability to" are two different worlds.
I see thousands of fans every year that want to...

It's tough with all that goes into it. I used to think just juicing would get me big but it's a whole lifestyle.

Indeed.
I think it's a sport because you COMPETE against others. At the end of the day it's a competition.
