I dont define myself. I just eat a lot and workout a lot. Never done a show. Been around friends that have. Not my thing. I would kill people if I had to eat like that (pre-show) for more than 2 days. Plus I could always piss them off when we trained and their strength went down and mine didnt! ;D

just joking man, all kidding aside i think that if you don't actually COMPETE at either activity you can't really call yourself anything other than an average guy who lifts like i consider myself.

bodybuilding has a negative undertone to it, you have to explain too much, easyer to say you lift weights.

Well, I look at it this way (and I could be wrong):
If you're trying to build musclemass on your body "aesthetically"...you would be a bodybuilder.
If you just go to the gym to stay in shape, stay toned, stay fit, recreationally...you would be a weight lifter.
And if you lift heavy weight, working to lift heavier and heavier (without really following strict diets - trying to achieve lower bodyfat) you would probably consider yourself a power lifter.
I see/saw myself (before I got sick) as a bodybuilder.

actually saying you lift weights to "look good' sounds gay to be honest

Just tell the average joes you train hard, eat well, pose in front of the mirror, and have a whole collection of muscleman videos, posters of shiny muscleman in thongs! yeah bubby! :D
-
fucking so true
Im on some cheezy dating site and the first thing people ask is "are u a bodybuilder?" I
sooooo deny that shit
Im too embarrassed of the connotation
-
Neither, I'm a hardcore pilates and yoga practitioner.
Ohh and I run a wicked spin class.
-
I tend to agree with Laura.... public negative connotations aside, if you're looking in the purest sense of the definition, a bodybuilder would be lifting with the goal of adding muscle while keeping aesthetics and balance in mind. Whether or not you need to have competed is up for debate. I used to, but haven't in 6 years...so does that make me a bodybuilder still? I think so because I still lift with the aforementioned goals.

weight lifter, i don't wear little trunks. ;D

If you're a cop or a bouncer or something then just eat like a horse and get strong, but if you're not lifting for competition and don't need strength and mass for your job why would anyone deliberately make themselves look like shit so they can press bigger weight? Guess I'm an aestheics driven bodybuilder.

that is an extreme of weight lifting, more on the line of power lifting , another extreme would be taking shit loads of drugs, getting implants, and oil, to have aesthetics.

Just a guy that lifts weights.
