Exactly. We only discuss real athletes on this forum. BBING is where it's at. Let's face it, swimmers are wanna-be bbers that didn't have the genetics or willpower to continue all the way into the pro bber ranks. Rejects! Keep swimming fairies! Real men oil up and flex!

Right. Just like Jay Cutler (yes, the bber, not the Denver qb).

He still no bber, though.

Good luck to him

An ill-informed aussie with an opinion.  There's something you don't see every day.

Are you surprised by the " an ill-informed aussie" part? Or is it the "aussie with an opinion" which strikes you? As far as I'm concerned, I'm always highly impressed when I meet an aussie with good manners.

There is not a swimmer on the face of this earth that would have the genetics to compete in bodybuilding, that's why they become swimmers, you seriously think that these guys would rather be fagging around in the pool than up on the Olympia stage, please... ::)

You and I both know he would trade all eight gold medals for one Sandow in a heartbeat.

I'm impressed by the ones who don't drag their knuckles when they walk.

And the men are a little coarse too.

I heard the NFL is seriously thinking about getting rid of the "Vince Lombardi" Trophy, and replacing it with the Sandow.




True story.

It's the illustrious trophy given to the winner of the Sports Bonanza (bigger than the Superbowl) known as Mr. Olympia.

A little bodyfat helps you float better on the water and improves your time.

Most swimmers are not extremely ripped for that reason, only maybe in the very short distances where power is more important they have more muscle mass and less bodyfat.

You know what's funny is before my accident I spent a lot of time in the water since I lived near it and I always had a hard time trending water and floating.  If I was motionless I would sink like a rock and never really understood why.  I would use so much energy trending water.  But then after I got so fat I would go in my pool and I could barely get under the surface.  I could literally just do nothing and float like a buoy.  I didn't even need a raft

Basic physics. Weight does not matter for floating, but density does. Fat is less dense than water, so it floats. Muscle is much more dense.

Didn't any of your schmoes know that real athletes fuck grapefruits for money? Forget shitty psuedo"sports" like swimming, citruscourse is where it's at.
