LOL ! And, Swede ... why's it JUST black rappers ... why not rock stars as well ? Granted, rock stars/country stars don't tend to make music videos showing off all their " flash " ... however, it doesn't mean they don't have it. Just sayin'. :-\

These training scenes remind me of those in Rocky 4. He smells like Ivan Drago.

because 99.99% of black rappers flashes their money more then they sing.

Bob Chick is determined to change the public view of bodybuilders with his new dvd!
"War for the Cocks, the long awaited sequel to the sleeping pill that was War for the Worlds. Bob Chick lets the camera follow him through the glamorous lifestyle of a washed up bodybuilder, living the dream one needle at a time. Bob will show you how to work out like a sissy, get that perfect redneck sunburn, dress like a hobo and much more!
The exciting extra material in this dvd has a special piece for the infamous "room nr 7 right next to ice machine" event at the Mirage. An inside look in to how bodybuilders afford their "finishing touch" hormones.
Out in stores never!"

when watching the exercises keep in mind the dude Cuts to make 260. so hes probably 280 there.

There are people out there thinking they are athletes.
Bob Chic for example.
I've always been a athlete...that happened to become a BB....played sports all my life and excelled at every one of them. There are all types of athletes in the world...each has their particular challenges when training, practicing...
walk a mile in my shoes...

What I meant what you think the average bodybuilder is an athlete..
Take Jay Cutler for example, lets say he hasnt which I think is right, but lets say 100% it is, hasnt done any other sports and started to bodybuild, Now he cant evern walk fast up a few stair without getting winded and out of breath, Which is understandable because hes 300 pounds.
But would you honestly still call him an athlete.
I hope you understand my bad english.

Whats your point? As I said...there are many different types of athletes...comparing them is ridiculous. Does Jay have the cardiovascular conditioning of a sprinter...? No....why would he? The sprinter also couldnt keep up with Jay in the gym...especially on a low carb diet.

Well I wouldn't call women competing in beauty pageants athletes. Bodybuilders are doing the same thing but they delude themselves by thinking it is about muscle it makes them athletes.

usain bolt > jay cutler
jay cutler (the football player)> jay cutler the big blonde guy who brushes his teeth 11 times a day

You could have made a fuckton more money if you played football instead of pranced around in your underwear for old men.
-
LOL....right
Well really what's the difference between the two? The girls are going on a stage to get judged by their appearance and so does bodybuilders. A highly subjective "sport" also known as beauty pageants.
-

You must have me confused with someone else...I've never pranced around in my underwear for old men. What the hell kind of shows have YOU been going to?

I dont have the time or the patience to explain the differences to you...
Preparing for a BB competition (especially in the pro league) is a greuling 12-14 week process....if you ever did it yourself, you wouldnt be asking "whats the difference"
-

I haven't gone to any bodybuilding "shows", but I have been to sporting events, usually held in stadiums, not auditoriums.

I'm pretty sure female beauty pageants competitors work out too to keep their bodies fit and undertake different treatments to make their skin look better etc. Sounds familiar doesn't it?
I'm not saying that the preparation for a bodybuilding contest is not brutal but that is still irrelevant. You get judged by your appearance and posing skills and no athletic skills required as you said, what could possibly be more beauty pageant than that?
-
Chick doesn't know when to stop

I'm sure people that jog and marathon runners are the same as well, right?
-
I haven't gone to any bodybuilding "shows", but I have been to sporting events, usually held in stadiums, not auditoriums.
1- I haven't gone to any bodybuilding shows
2-I do not work out
3-I don't have a clue about nutrition and training
Please let us know your Expert opinion..... ::)
-

there you go answering with a question again haha
-
I'm sure people that jog and marathon runners are the same as well, right?
Now you're losing all grasp of reasonable logic....
Marathon runners are in no way judged by their appearance, only their performance. Perhaps "judged" is the wrong word for it, they win and lose quite simply.
Why won't you listen to what our dear friend Wikipedia has to say:
"A beauty contest, or beauty pageant, is a competition based mainly, though not always entirely, on the physical beauty of its contestants, and often incorporating personality, talent demonstration, and question responses as judged criteria. Almost invariably, competitions for men and women are separate events, and those for men are not referred to as beauty contests. Beauty contests for women are more common, and winners are called beauty queens. Beauty contests for men, like Mr. Universe, are more likely to be "body building" contests—quite unlike the traditional "beauty contest" in which women are judged upon many attributes both physical and otherwise. However, in the 1990s, male "beauty contests" began to shift focus. Instead of only considering muscle mass, the competitions began to judge the natural physical attributes of the contestants as well as their physiques. These include Mr. World and Manhunt International."
May not be the best possible source, but it gives a VERY good idea what the general definition is.

Obviously, the analogy was lost on you.....

And your pride of always having to win a debate is making you dumber than a box of rocks. It's irrelevant how much bodybuilders work out or struggle in order to compete, bodybuilding is still about beauty pageants and bodybuilders are not athletes.
My goodness.

Trolling for men?

Lovemonkey is spot on.
How a bodybuilder can consider himself an athlete is beyond me. Lifting weights in a gym following typical bodybuilding workout routines is not very difficult, even if this has to be done twice a day. Add in the dieting come gay contest time then any man with a little bit of willpower would succeed. Being judged by ones looks and muscles is a beauty pageant and there is nothing athletic involved. Are we to assume their is skill in ones genetics to be able to respond to the bucket load of drugs these clowns take.
Bodybuilding is based on looks and the only skill involved is who has the best genetics to respond to the drugs or the best pharmaceutical advice. Anyone who thinks just because they workout hard in a gym following a bodybuilding routine makes them an athlete is deluded.
Power-lifting or strongmen are athletes however as they compete against each other on feats of strength which test skill, technique, strength and endurance as well as many other athletic traits.
Just think about how many dirty gay ass bodybuilders there could be from all the gym rats out there in the world if given the right combination of drugs. However, not many would ever have the skill or attributes to ever become a professional in most other major sports.
Brock Lesnar has shown what real training is in that video, now some gay ass thong wearing bodybuilder will show up to say how they are athletes because they show up to a gym twice a day and lift weights.
End this argument right now this whole thing is absurd, obviously this Bob Chick guy will never be able to see through his clouded biased lenses as he has spent a big proportion of his life following a particularly peculiar hobby.

If that were true, you wouldnt have come back with an asinine comment about how runners arent concerned with their appearance....

A Pro bodybuilder Physique requires at average 10 to 15 year of extremely intense training, impeccable nutrition. The sacrifices and extreme requiremets to success in bodybuilding is undeniably among the most rigid and Strenuous. The comparison to a Peagent is ignorance at best, at it show absolutely no knowledge of bodybuilding and the demands necessary. I should not be surprise as many feel that soccer isn't a sport either.... ::)
-
The analogy you tried to make was very obvious but I couldn't honestly believe you'd be so dumb to go there. That's why I made this statement at first and thought I had to re convince you of my entire argument.
Now you're losing all grasp of reasonable logic....
-
Most bodybuilders are happy doing the same 9 or 12 sets per bodypart per week year after year, while athletes try to increase the volume and intensity of their workouts (their ability to do more work). There are no pro athlete who doesn't train multiple times per day, while most bodybuilders train max 1 time per day. These are the crucial differences in the training of the bodybuilders and athletes.

Likening pro bodybuilding to a beauty pageant is the same as comparing jogging to marathon running....not to tough to understand, and as sound an analogy as it gets.
Amazing how you can speak on a subject you have no personal knowledge of...ignorant at best.

I'd say Paul Dillet is a perfect example of just how lazy bodybuilders can be(not saying everyone is). I guarantee you, with his lack of dedication he would not break the top ten of a single sport in the world. Except bodybuilding.

bob can u please start showing some respect to the fans-i dont think thats a big thing to ask of u
remember-u are held to a higher standard than others and some look up to u and try to emulate u
remember-u should lead by example not by exception
but most importantly-besides being a pro bb, a movie star, an announcer, a radio dj,a writer, and an athletes rep-u are a human-u should treat others the way u want to be treated
thanks

Wow actually I have to admit I did not understand you correctly when you put it that way but it's not for the better for you, gosh.
How many times do I have to tell you this?
It's irrelevant how much bodybuilders work out or struggle in order to compete, bodybuilding is still about beauty pageants and bodybuilders are not athletes.
Anything else is just illogical wish thinking from your side. As said, just because it's about the bothersome (?) development of muscles doesn't automatically make them athletes.

It would be to your best benefit to inform yourself before making such an ignorant statement. Bodybuilders are often performing couple sessions of cardio, plus couple sessions of resistance training daily at LEAST for 12 to 16 weeks before contest. This obviously does not include the extremely precise nutrition required for 6 to 8 meals daily. This is a 24 hours focus requirement daily.I can not even respond to your statement regarding increase in volume and intensity,even that most uninformed person about bodybuilding would say such stupidity. Please educate yourself before next time.

Great....so go spend your time on "getsoccer.com"
-

I'm partly trying to make the point that bodybuilding does not necessarily require the same work ethic as actual sports does. It's mostly all genetics and drugs.
Flex Wheeler also demonstrated a lack of willpower that would automatically unable him to crack any top ten in any other sport than bodybuilding. Kamali works out like a bitch as well, even I have more guts than him in the gym. And he cracked the top ten at olympia if I remember correctly!
-
Pro athlete might have 4 years worth of training planned out before hand. Within one year the athlete goes trough many different training blocks, all containing different training and athletic goals. Bodybuilding is always the same with no real programs and possibly no real goals either. The eating changes from the offseason to the onseason and vice versa, that is mostly it.

I just don't understand why Chick has to go to the lengths he does with his arguments.
No matter how much he screams "athlete" whenever he sees a bodybuilder, it will neither add or subtract from the effort put up by the bodybuilder in question.
Ok, many bodybuilders bust their ass in the gym, the kitchen.... and the pharmacy.I acknowledge it. But the differences in the definition of sports and beauty pageants still remain.

As already explained...it requires DIFFERENT work ethic....we dont train for things we have no use of for our sport, just as other athletes dont focus on things that dont come into play for theirs.....linemen in the NFL dont work on catching passes, or running plays as a running back....
Flex Wheeler wasn't trying to crack the top 10 of any other sport....

Your a freaking moron.
Most healthy educated people i know perform cardio daily and make it to the gym daily. They also look after their diet daily year in year out, obviously not to the extent bodybuilders do. However, the only thing that stops these people from attempting to becoming bodybuilders is: 1. They are sane and realise what a fringe disgusting thing bodybuilding is. 2. They do not want to mess with their health to become a big bloated disgusting mess.
Nearly every woman in America tries to diet at one time or another and a lot can stick to diets religiously. Madonna trains everyday often over 4 hours a day doing a variety of different training exercises and she has a stricter diet than most bodybuilders have ever seen. Is she to be considered an athlete for the way she looks?
You guys are pathetic, bodybuilding is a beauty pageant with drugs thrown in period. Most people in this world view it as a homosexual disgusting drug fueled sport. I say sport but obviously this is no sport as the winner is awarded victory based on looks. Pathetic some of you guys don't realise this.

No you stupid ignorant "person". I talked about the effort put up in the gym. And that's exactly my point, to be a pro it requires genetics and a helluva lot of drugs. Training is secondary.

Say what you will Chick, no amount of banter will convince anyone it's a sport or that these guys are athletes.

Quoted for pure 100% fucking truth that a lot of people on here can't seem to handle, all these pro bb'ers have this fantasy stuck in their head that everybody who trains and lifts weights worships them and wants to look like them. I want to let you in on a little secret... WE DON'T , I want to look good, be healthy and have some nice muscle/size , I don't wan to be a bloated , lazy sack of shit with a 45" gh gut competing for $5 plastic trophy.

Quoted for pure 100% fucking truth that a lot of people on here can't seem to handle, all these pro bb'ers have this fantasy stuck in their head that everybody who trains and lifts weights worships them and wants to look like them. I want to let you in on a little secret... WE DON'T , I want to look good, be healthy and have some nice muscle/size , I don't wan to be a bloated , lazy sack of shit with a 45" gh gut competing for $5 plastic trophy.

Because most of us, believe it or not, enjoy working out and building muscles. And through this forum (a great community BTW) we've found out that bodybuilding is on the verge of being a circus joke and it's quite humorous and entertaining. Therefore we stick around, having fun. Laughing, crying in laughter sometimes.

Bodybuilder is just a guy full of drugs, that's it. for pain, you take this. for strength you take that. and there you go.
If he's stop taking all that crap, he's gone. nothing zero.

how would you explain contests then?
if they all take steroids, then why can there only be one winner?
you think it's as simple as taking drugs?
do you have any idea how many people in local gyms take the same things that guys competing for Mr. Olympia take
yet will never make it?
how about those who never turn pro even though they use a pharmacy load of drugs?
Kai Greene won natural shows and had a physique you could never achieve even with drugs.
how does that feel?

after watching that tell me how mir is gonna combat that animal.....
you know who will win the fight ( 9 outta 10 times ) before the fight just by the way they train.... the fight is just a formality....
look at the lead up to the lesnar hearing fight...... brock was busting a$$ in the gym and hearing was lollygaggin' on the lat pulldown machine & doing some crunches....

Mir's gotten way tooo cocky, it's unsubstantiated, he has no basis for his new found cockiness, in their first fight Lesnar mauled him for 1:30 before the ref stopped the fight because of a supposed ilegal blow to the back of Mir's head, even Mir said in a post fight interview that he was just surviving through that fight.
Now all of a sudden he thinks he's the no.1 heavyweight in the world...monster delusions, just because he won over a beat up and battered Noguiera.

and as far as bb'rs not being athletes..... well some guys lazily drag their way through the gym yes,,,, and base everything on drugs, sure but these guys usually aren't champs, again there is an exception to every rule but the majority of the time..... look at ronnie, he was a football player.....
allota guys got into bb because of sports and the training and probally found that they like the training more than the sport..... like chick said he was an athlete before he was a bb'r......
some bb'rs do oly lifts and power lifts to enhance their strength & improve cns to get better results.... ie, bigger muscles....
means to an end......
politics aside..... others could play that, me i'm not an ifbb pro so.... my opinion in that arena counts for 0 but gotta go with bob chick....
my own feelings are that some bodybuilders are athletes..... even the ones who take drugs..... anyone every see mark kerr the smashing machine...... he took juice and nubain and he was a mma champ, college wres champ etc...... and wrestlers too..... there can't be anyone that denies these guys are athletes even though the outcome is planned but the move require strength, agility, cordination etc what ev...
an athlete can be someone that can perform a physical tast that a "normal " untrained person cannot or would have extreme diffuculty doing....
hey chick..... some people know some don't...... maybe it's the ones that "know" keep you on this board.... which is something everyone oughtta appriciate and respect..... whether they like your ifbb politics or not..... not like it matters to them because they are not pros so..... but everyone is entitled to an opinion which is nice when they are heard..... and the evidence can be see, you do listen and respond, even to the "boneheads".... again everyone can respect you for that.... you are our "inside guy"... it's cool.... most pros run from this site.... you stay....

And your pride of always having to win a debate is making you dumber than a box of rocks. It's irrelevant how much bodybuilders work out or struggle in order to compete, bodybuilding is still about beauty pageants and bodybuilders are not athletes.
My goodness.
Definition of men who come on Get Big to put down bodybuilding = Self loathing, latent homosexual
-
Are models athletes? they train and diet down in order to achieve a look much like a bb does.
In terms of the athleticism of the strength sports, the order should go:
1) Strongman/Highland Games
2) Olympic Lifting
3) Powerlifting

I'm not a huge fan of BB as a sport but they are indeed athletes as defined in the dictionary. Maybe posing on stage does not seem "athletic" in the sense we tend to think of them anymore than we think of a golfer or a bowler as athletes but I consider the BB lifestyle, due to it's all consuming nature, to be one of the hardest sports out there. Everything you do in your life pertains to your training in a way that is incomprehensible to normal people but just part of the game to the competitor that he doesn't even give it a second thought. Eating becomes bulking/cutting/nutrition, sleeping becomes recovery, even consistent drug use is no easy tasks. The tought of injecting one's self even once a week let a lone everyday is beyond what any average person is willing to endure. And not to mention the consistent, brutal training that must be endured for years on end before you can even think about competing. And about the pain.... The sacrifices that have to be made is far beyond the realm of the average Joe.

The training is irrelevant. I bet beauty pageants queens go through a lot of shit as well, but it's still a beauty pageant. Read this please if you can be bothered:
Why won't you listen to what our dear friend Wikipedia has to say:
"A beauty contest, or beauty pageant, is a competition based mainly, though not always entirely, on the physical beauty of its contestants, and often incorporating personality, talent demonstration, and question responses as judged criteria. Almost invariably, competitions for men and women are separate events, and those for men are not referred to as beauty contests. Beauty contests for women are more common, and winners are called beauty queens. Beauty contests for men, like Mr. Universe, are more likely to be "body building" contests—quite unlike the traditional "beauty contest" in which women are judged upon many attributes both physical and otherwise. However, in the 1990s, male "beauty contests" began to shift focus. Instead of only considering muscle mass, the competitions began to judge the natural physical attributes of the contestants as well as their physiques. These include Mr. World and Manhunt International."
May not be the best possible source, but it gives a VERY good idea what the general definition is.
-
And about the pain.... The sacrifices that have to be made is far beyond the realm of the average Joe.
And nothing compared to a real athlete who trains up to 6 times A DAY! They also watch what they eat every minute, just like a bodybuilder does.

athlete=a person that is involved in a sport which requires strength,agility,stamina.bodybuilding requires a ton of drugs with good genetics and performing repetition exercises that benefit thier musculer appearence on stage,they are not judged on how much weight they lift.so (strength) is ruled out.(agility),im sure some have agility but most bodybuilders ive seen dont look very agile,(stamina),im not even gonna comment on that one,lol.im just keepin it real,i like bodybuilding as much as the next guy but i dont know how on earth bodybuilding got labeled as a sport.theres a reason why bodybuilding aint in the olympics,cause its not a sport is a fashion show except the guys are showing thier bodies instead of clothes

Is BBing a sport? Its an interesting question.
For sure, many athletes bodybuild or weight-train as part of their training.
To me, most pure sports, can be objectively measured. Eg weightlifting, track and field, etc.
But you also have "sports" that are measured with subjective components. Eg, Diving, Gymnastics, Synchronised swimming, etc. To me, bodybuilding is more in that category of sport. There is no doubt BBing has rules, requires extreme physical training etc, so I would consider it a sport, although the extreme subjective component and the lack of measurable results do concern me.
I personally have problems accepting people who play golf to be athletes. A golf player would argue the point, but to me, guys that walk around hitting balls into little holes are not my idea of an athlete.
Do I consider Chick an athelte or sportsman. Yes.

bb'n, training & all it entails, includ. posing...... it's a sport..... and no one can bring up drug use because football / baseball etc....
anyone ever get on stage and hit & hold poses before knows thats it's hard to do..... bb'n is also entertainment and theatricaly based.... kinda like wrestling......
to anyone who has ever competed knows bb'n is def a sport..... again get on stage and go through a routine where you have to hit & hold poses and then question the athletics of the sport.....

Most bodybuilders are happy doing the same 9 or 12 sets per bodypart per week year after year, while athletes try to increase the volume and intensity of their workouts (their ability to do more work). There are no pro athlete who doesn't train multiple times per day, while most bodybuilders train max 1 time per day. These are the crucial differences in the training of the bodybuilders and athletes.
If bodybuilding is so easy, how come most people who train with weights look like shit? I'm fascinated with this obsession some getbiggers have with drugs. They reason that if a guy is lean and muscular, he must be using drugs. What one can read between the lines is that those who believe that to be true are the ones who are unable to train hard and diet systematically.
Thus, being unable to achieve any of their own physique goals, they figure that anybody who look better than them is a drug user. This is being unrespectful towards those who work hard and systematically over a long period of time. Many bodybuilders are true and impressive athletes. How many of us would be able to perform the leg-workouts of Tom Platz (high-rep, nausea inducing training). While it is true that the bodybuilding competitions are not directly based on athletic performance, the physique required to win is certainly based on being an athlete (and in pro competitions, just like in other pro sports- drugs).

Damn straight.

you are guys are arguing over semantics, let me help you out
participating in bodybuilding or being a bodybuilder does not automatically qualify you as an athlete
ofcourse there are athletes that participate and are bodybuilders, chances are most of them have a football or other sport background. So whether they particpated in bodybuilder did not and does not add to their athletic title.

I'm sure there is some but it's irrelevant.
I draw the line at the fact that bodybuilding is about judging the appearance/presentation of the competitors and nothing else. I don't care how hard the competitors work in order to give a good showing, it is still a beauty pageant.

uh no it is not irrelevant, physical exertion is needed in a competiton for it to be considered a sport
and you use the words "i'm sure", which means you don't know :)

OK, forget what I said before. Upon more reflection and arguments presented bodybuilding is a physique contest not an athletic event. I think I conflated the notion that since bodybuilders are strong and many are very athletic (Kai Green, grapefruit not withstanding) there is the tendency to think of them as athletes. Being athletic does not make you an athlete. Participation in a sport seems to be one of the requirements for being an athlete. Posing onstage does seem to have more in common with a beauty pagent than an athletic or sporting event.
