You guys are into Ronnie's quads huh, and another backing that statement up.  Well if your careers don't work out for you, you fags can be "into Ronnie's quads" together, fuckin nut hangers. 
Anyway, I love bodybuilding but I have much respect for Sean Sherk.  A great fighter, trains like no one else, crazy conditioning, and a great father.  What else can you ask for.  Oh, yeah I didn't just get that all off that short film.  That's all.

I agree. Steroid bodybuilding warps the judgement of what a good physique is.  Wrestlers, sprinters, running backs,Olympic lifters and other athletes are examples of what a functional real physique should look like.   I bet the top ten in the Olympia couldn't keep up with a chubby soccer mom jogging a mile.  Function should dictate what a physique looks like. 

I'm into bodybuilding but what you are looking at is cosmetic. It's so phony and temporary that when the champs go off the juice they completely lose their "body".  When I see an Olympia contender in the NFL, Pride, UFC, boxing, or winning a 60 yard dash I'll change my opinion.

I will ad one other thing here actually.  I can not stand it when you see a guy at the gym that can bench 600lbs, which is impressive by itself, but then can not walk to the car without getting out of breath.  What a fucking waste.  Really, thats all.....

'OldTimer1', have you seen ex NFL players? Or ex UFC and boxing champs? SKINNY or FAT! I hate to be the one that breaks it to you, but the 330lb line backers are juiced to their ghetto gills. And have you seen Shamrock and Kimo now they're off the gear? 120lbs at best. you need to do some growing up kid. Ironic considering you're an 'oldtimer' ::)

Love UFC and Pride in Japan, the rules have been watered down a bit for my tastes,With the exception of eye gouging and genital gouging they should allow headbutts which they outlawed.
The film documentry "The Smashing Machine" with Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman was extreme. They both weighed around the 240 mark and were incredibly disciplined athletes.
Much more entertaining than Boxing in my opinion.

The guy trains for HIS SPORT.Ronnie trains for his.Sorry,but watching a guy laying on his back and pulling himself across the floor is boring to me.Watching a guy pull 800 for two is exciting.You cant compare one sport to another and say THATS the way an athlete should look.Kirby Pucket didnt have a very good build but he sure could hit a baseball.George the Iceman Gervin looked like a pipe cleaner but he sure could score in the NBA.Kenny Stabler was a mushy mess,but he could sure play quarterback.Ronnie might not be able to run a fast 40,but he sure carries a lot of mass.

1. Ronnie doesn't have a sport, he's a bodybuilder.

2. Doing an 800lb deadlift would be powerlifting not bodybuilding (two different "sports" ).

this is exactly what irks me about the ignorance of joe public.

you think that because this guy's not as huge as a pro bber that he doesn't take anabolic drugs, beta blockers, stimulants and epo?

all athletes take drugs.

Sherk is impressive and at least on camera looks a lot heavier than the weight he fights at. He's not carrying any real fat so I wonder how much weight he has to lose for weigh in.

The broad doing the interview was impressive too, nice piece of ass. I bet Sherk's wife was thrilled when she came walking through the door.

Sherk is 100% natural as well as all of the UFC Champions.  They're tested under strict circumstances before every fight.

Ex-Fighter in the modern day MMA keep in tremendous physical shape. Frank Shamrock retired in 2000 and kept his form for nearly 6 years before he made his comeback and he looks fantastic.

Another fighter that deserves a lot of respect for their physical condition is Randy Couture.  The guy is in his mid forties, yet has the body of a twenty-year-old as well as the stamina.

Physique wise I definatly look up to these guy more than a pro bodybuilder because they have impressive natural physiques.

They do test for performance enhacing drugs that does not mean they do not use them and slip under the radarThats UFC anyway.
In Pride Japan i dont think they test for drugs in the Documentry "The Smashing Machine" Mark Kerr was on some serious narcotics Opiate based 3 times a day He said it increases his tolerance for pain and he was unbeaten then as the documentry goes on he gets clean and then starts losing badly ???

Passing the drug 'tests' is second nature to most of those guys. The only way to make sure someone is genuinely clean is to test them EVERYDAY. Who said that? The head of the olympic commision on drug testing.

...and that's just for the ones that the ioc know about/can test for.

drug testing committees have long ago acknowledged that they have been absolutely rheemed in the war against p.e drugs.

at the present it is used merely as a p.r stunt by the sporting world with the occasional sacrificial lamb to feed the frenzied, but very deluded masses.

Worst part is both Tim Sylvia and Josh Barnett are not known for their herculean physiques.  Ken is smaller because he isn't taking gear.  Kimo is smaller for other reasons I won't discuss.  Size and physical appearance mean nothing to fighters anyway.  BJ Penn and Fedor are two champs who have physiques no one on GB would want.  But both of them would KO, submit, slaughter ANY pro bodybuilder.  So whats the point.  Ronnie trains to look good, these guys train to fight.  Two different worlds.  Ones a beauty contest, ones a sport.

Last time I checked, having a bodybuilding physique makes no impact on the 10 point must scoring system.  He trains for functionality, the asthetics are simply a byproduct.  Bodybuilding is about training for aesthetics, functionality is a byproduct.  (And in the case for many bodybuilders, very little functionality remains.)

Funny you state stanazol a wonderful drug keeps mass and endurance.Remember Shawn Ray when he tested for stanazol at the Arnold classic some 17 years ago.He said that he stopped taking it 3 months before the Arnold yet they were still able to bust him for it through a urine test.

so as to imply that only athletes without class take peds.

sherk most definitely DOES take peds. it really is a no brainer, he competes in a sport he loves and gets paid well for it.

the guy WILL do anything to win because he knows that the better he performs the more security he can get for his young family before he retires. fighting doesn't last forever.
