Title: So is bodybuilding a gay sport?
Post by: jumpstart on February 08, 2010, 05:47:21 PM
And if it is why do we want to do anything with it including weightlifting and entering contest if we're straight? Just curious?

we're all extremely safe with our sexuality and we're not afraid to admire chemically engineered men in thongs, while wearing Pam Spray and pro tan, who eat rice and chicken boobs every 3 hours, after training in purple and yellow striped tight pants and no shirt. cept some homophobic getbiggers who will one day come out of their large stileto filled walk in closets

Bodybuilding itself and as a contest isn't gay.

Some of the characters participating might be gay, but other than that i'd like to think not.

different athletes has different skill sets

sprinters are fast but not so good at long distances

bodybuilders sacrifice cardio for size, muscle, and power (kind of like a lineman in the NFL)

I love bodybuilding and enjoy taking part in it everyday but thinking of it as a sport just isn't right.

competition = sport

training to compete in a show means that the training = part of the sport

you train to keep your strong points and improve on your weak points while the people in your weight class do the same.

weekened warriors or people that go to the gym with their protein drinks 3 times a week and quarter squat in the smith, shadow box, talk on a cell then do a session of tanning... those are the people that you see that call themselves bbr's, then yes thats not a sport.

anyone that competes or any pro, then its a sport.

as far as "gays" that's in everything & everywhere.  most women are married to gay guys, that's why they wind up cheating or getting divorced or live the rest of their days unhappy and unfulfilled because they stayed with a wuusy and never got to be with a real man. common american story.

If what makes bodybuilding a "sport" is competition, then do you consider a beauty pagaent a "sport?"  They compete in the exact same way as bodybuilders, just the criteria is different.

What about powerlifting and Olympic lifting? Those sports are all about lifting heavy "shit".
You say a sport needs to have athletic and physical activity. What about car and motorcycle racing? Nascar? F1?
Bodybuilders train by the way, that is physiqual activity.

As Lion666 said, sport is about competition.

By that sorry definition, you could call sales a "sport" as there is a huge amount of competition between companies, etc...

The day I seen "Stuttering John" from the Howard Stern Show beat Ronnie Coleman in a shuttle sprint race was the day I realized that bodybuilders should not be referred to as athletes.

its a sport because:

a) you have to physically train at a very high level in order to compete
b) it still requires some athletic effort, posing for hours on stage when dehydrated is exhausting
c) hitting proper poses and perfecting your posing is not much different than, say, properly throwing a football.

example: the ufc scores fighters based on good punches, aggression, octagon control
the IFBB scores bodybuiders on good posing, stage presence, and a well executed posing routine

olympic divers are scored based on execution and bodybuilding is no different
rather than executing a diver into water you're executing a streneous muscule pose onstage

its somewhat different but the general principal of the matter still applies

Point A might have a dash of truth to it.

Points b and c are just ridiculous but then again look who is making the statement.

a) Arguable, as some of the top level guys don't train much harder than other gym goers.
b) So does a beauty pagaent.
c) You are on crack if you think bodybuilding posing is remotely close to throwing a football at a high level.

A huge percentage of bodybuilding competitors are either washed-up jocks, or never were's.  Vast majority being the latter.  Tend to have very few who are/were great athletes.

Actually you have a good point, I never saw it from that perspective.
If there is anything that separated bodybuilding from beauty pageant contests or sales is the physiqual training that bodybuilders do.

1.) bbing is not a sport.
2.) Most of us here only lift weight, we don't enter shows.
3.) Don't be so insecure.

I agree.  I think that the training portion is certainly a physical activity/sport and is a huge part of bodybuilding.  Showing off the finished product at a show is where it is much more like a beauty pagaent,

You dont spend hours a day "admiring", "detailing" pictures of other tong wearing muscle men  without being a fag. And if you werent one in the first place, this kind of "hobby" will get you there eventually.

Also there are so many morons who are mainly attracted by "muscle worship" on here, wether they are pathological mythomaniacs, closet homos in denial, insecure and immature attention whores lacking a father figure -or all of the previous- that it's always fun to stop by and laugh at em when they expose themselves publicly, completely oblivious to their own sheer stupidity.

Getbig is like a virtual version of your local gym when it's filled with douchebags. Only it's filled with em 24/7 365 days a year.

You never know who's going to destroy him/herself on here, but one thing is sure, someone will. That's what keeps me coming back.

I like how you throw this in there. It's a nice touch to say "i'm not gay, even though I only see this as a gay place and keep coming back ."   

You might fit the closet homo thing.

Actually i agree you can find insecure people to laugh at everywhere, not just on a "muscle worship" related messageboard like getbig, ill give you that. It's just that...there are many many more insecure people to laugh at in a gym or on a bodybyduilbing messageboard than in any other place. More fun at my disposal, quicker than anywhere else. The muscle thing just attracts a lot more losers and easy targets to watch crash all by themselves on a daily basis than any other random topic.
I'm totaly addicted to coming on here to have a good laugh at the expense of mental cases like goodrum,spermastase,avesher,swede, johnypaintcan, JNN,jade the "gladiator", the fabulous muslim fags quartet, arvilla, and that's just to name a very few, yes i have to admit it  :-[.
I mean seriously, it's like shooting a fish in a barrel with 10 fully loaded shotguns at hand's reach. You never know who will provide us with enough weapons to beat em to death every single day and, more importantly and funny, they never learn from their mistakes. As long as there's a demand to be punished, i keep offering my services.

99,99% of what im interested in -i post/read about- on here has nothing to do with "bodybuilding". Maybe i should find another messageboard, where i can actually learn useful stuff in my spare time. It's just that it's easier to spend your spare time laughing at people than doing something useful  ;D All of my posts are attempts to explain psychological stuff nobody gives a rat ass about, trying to improve some people's lifes i dont even care about / know, or mocking some dumb loser's shortcomings without any mercy most of the time. I dont even learn anything from anyone on here.

Obviously insecure to even ask such a dumb question.

Look, there is a fag underbelly that follow the sport just for their sick and disgusting pleasure but, please, these people do not deserve the kind of importance they are given - especially on the gay obsessed getbig. There are people who like to watch gymnastics, swimming, etc just for base sexual desires but they are the exception not the rule.

So some sick gays watch the sport just to indulge their perversion? Let them be and stop even focusing the eye of your mind on them. They are not worth it. If you are not following the bodybuilding for sick and revolting gay desires then why even ask such a juvenile question?

You people laugh but Bob Chick is right here, if you aren't a queer then you aren't following it due to your twisted sexuality. If you are a gay using it to indulge wicked and evil thoughts then you shall pay a price for this.

Simple.
