Would you ever describe yourself as a bodybuilder to people? I wouldn't...too much stigma attached.
-
Good point. Sadly, most people are so ignorant.....they just assume the worst.
-
I would but I dont want people treating me like a gay male whore with a below average IQ with a propensity for using needles..
-
no because you would have to look the part while fully clothed
if you look skinny you shouldn't tell people you are a bodybuilder

what do people call you when they see some guy walking around with posing trunks in thier mouth ?

I know what you mean. However, not everyone wants to look like a freak.
-
someone said that they used to train with Lee Labrada and he was fully clothed and what not, looked very small compared to the other guys but when it was pose down time he blew them away.......
So after the guys thanked Lee for going down on them he posed with them too
-

true but people will expect you to look the part no matter what you are wearing so it's better not to say you are a bodybuilder, that is if you worry about what others think :)

I pursue muscle gain, fat loss, and healthy living in order to maximize my physical potential, so yes, I am a bodybuilder.
Tell these one-foot-in-the-grave muscle-before-health freaks to find their own word for what they do.

Yeah, I hear ya. I never say it anyways. People are usually like, "do you work out" or "you must lift weights", and I just say "a little".
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I walk around in longsleeves & pants year round. I'm not looking for attention (not that I'm anything special, mind you), but I personally think it's pathetic when someone with some muscle walks around in a wifebeater year round, trying to get attention. Talk about insecure......
-
Save it for the girls. They will believe anything even if you are 150 lbs she will believe you might be on roids and have competed numerous times haha!
Also, while you are at it, throw in the old "I used to be in the Special Forces" line! When girls talk about dates or men in their lives, it is only a matter of time till I hear the special forces bit. LOL! And they believe it!
-
I do, and then they laugh.
-
Good question - I never say I am a bodybuilder. I think people have that sterotypical idea in their head that a bodybuilder automatically mean's you take steroids.
-
Why would anybody that wasn't making money off of it, claim to be a bodybuilder?
Do any of you guys have any business cards with a bodybuilder title on it?

Im embarrased to say im a bodybuilder because im too small :-\

Haha i like that ;D

i hate to quote frank sepe but i will:
"if u can't see your top 4 abs YOU ARE NOT A BODYBUILDER. You are a fat guy that lifts weights"
end of story.
(does that mean i am a bodybuilder at the moment?...and unqualified 'FUCK NO!')
-

Agree. Being an asian bottom boy craving to be loved by the white man is indeed enough for you.

yo chick wat is ur opinion on frank sepe's statement: "if u can't see your top 4 abs YOU ARE NOT A BODYBUILDER. You are a fat guy that lifts weights"
i agree with it. he made it years ago in musclemag in response to a fan question.
-
I generally agree, except that using the term "bodybuilder" for anyone who lifs weights is ludicrious....
There are different types of bodybuilders...pro's, amateurs, people who "bodybuild", etc....
-

I basically agree with you here, shirted and unpumped I just look thin. I imagine the same is true for you.

The bodybuilders I know are usually very positive people.
On this board everybody seems to be very negative about anything.
That might add to the negativity towards bodybuilding.

This topic has been abused in the past. It'll eventually come down to competitive and noncompetitive bbs. Competitors only believe you're a "bb" if you compete. Noncompetitors who still weight train, diet, supplement, use, etc...feel differently. Personally, I think it comes down to lookin the part, but I've met some huge cornfed motherfvckers that are built like tanks, never diet and could be mistaken for bbs. Who's right? Eh, who cares?

STOP BEING SO HUMBLE. YOU LOOK GREAT. RIPPED TO THE BONE

I usually say I "bodybuild" or I "Train like a bodybuilder" and follow up with "I hope to compete in blah blah blah years" or "by the time I am 25yrs old".
BTW I also explain I want to compete naturally for my first time and decide after I compete whether or not I want to try out steroids.

Dont u hate these guys (in this case a friend i know) they sign up randomly for gym memberships once a year or watever, they act like 'know-it-alls' they dont know shit, they act like they have monster genetics. ask for ur advice but then act like they are better.
its like get real dude, ur not a bodybuilder, ur an asshole that wants bigger arms for the summer.

I havn't run into too many people like that, I work at a small gym.

i didnt even run into this guy at the gym lol. i hadnt seen him in ages, and then he starts talking bout he's rejoining the gym, then how he is competetive and no matter what he will eventually outlift me and get bigger than me and also this rubbish about his genetics.
after this final insult, i said well let me show u my calves so u get an idea about muscle. and he tried to diss me before seeing them, i showed them, he dissed them and said man mine are bigger. then i force him to show his (he refused) and they had nothing and i said he needs a reality check.
then he changes the topic saying: yeah your calves are big but what can they do? how practical are they? do they have any use? arnold schwarzenegger might be big but is he athletic.
i said dont change the topic, im into bodybuilding, we were talking about muscle growth.
all this rubbish, and he is the one who asked me for advice.
call me cynical but i think i had a right to put him in his place and then show he is an idiot!

Sounds like he was a complete douche bag to me. I would have just stripped down and started posing ;D

Convince them to work chest with you.. Load up the bar and don't spot 'em and viola! ;D Like 3 plates to crush the fucks. They always do it with 2 spotters, so just unrack the weight for them and let it drop and walk away.
Okay, that's not practical, but don't you wish you could do that sometime to annoying, small and know it all assholes?
-
No, because bodybuilder usually equals steroid abuser, sadly enough. When the roid topic comes up though, I usually rip on users and carry on about how most people can't do much naturally, like myself..hahah

I laugh at other guys trying to eat clean all year around, but that never compete as I eat everything at the Chinese restaurant and I am in better shape than them... ;D

hahahahahaa.
when i left the car to flex my calves at him my bro was drunk in the front i remember he just said 'oh shit, i cant believe u are doing this' hahaha
its the pride of a bodybuilder!

exactly, i think naturals would never be labelled as bodybuilders, you need to be juiced to the gills. id love to be in a world where there is no juice and people own the same genetics for building up mass etc, only then you can see who works hard for it.

I'm the same way, I hate crass people. New York has been invaded by crass culturalism. Everyone is showing off their status or power or whatever. (its become LA). It is disgusting.
A girl walking in a once very poor neighborhood through a bunch of very poor immigrant workers in a thousand dollar outfit, on her cell phone completely ignoring them is just like the muscle guy in a tank, walking down the stet with his arms spread out. Its all about selfishness and entitlement. Their parents taught them to be that way.
Its the Paris Hilton Phenomenon ---Flaunt your wealth, power, status, for you own personal gain without any consideration or respect for the people around you.
Welcome to the future folks.

No point in saying you're a BB unless you're standing infront of them half naked with monster muscles, cuts, symmetry and the whole nine to the point where they go "wow".
But if you're a natural BB and you're at the grocery store and you're throwing massive amounts of meat in your cart and somebody asks you "what are you gonna do with all that food" and you say "i'm a bodybuilder" then yeah good luck on giving them a good laugh! ;D

Where I live it gets very hot & muggy in the summer. If you walked around funny covered, than you'd stand out plus sweat like a pig. You work hard for it. Give'em a little taste of what it is to be in shape.

I really do laugh at my friends that bitch about how they took in to much sodium in one day and it is making them retain water, so after that they proceed to boil a chicken breast and then squeeze all the water out of it after done boiling while they eat raw broccoli and their not even competing it is really hilarious... ;D

You dont have to live off dry chicken breasts and broccoli to be considered "eating clean all the time" either.
