Im hearing this a lot lately, all i can say ''delusional''
yes it takes lot of discipline to shrug those shakes down every day, and training ''hard'' in some cases.
Formule 1, only 10 min of the race is harder than the whole year training for the olympia you punks!!!!
It involves lots of skills and the thing that gets overlooked how your mind needs to be in top, top condition!!
bodybuilders will go: ''its the toughest sport, 24/7 you know, i need to eat, sleep, sleep.
Its a tough racket, go home and tell your wife your troubles.
-
it's because as a bodybuilder you must be all hardcore
-
im not one of those bodybuilding delusionites who espouses bodybuilding over everything......but you can make an argument that the sport of bodybuilding, albeit selfish and narcissistic, is one of the most difficult sports in the world.......because it really is nto a sport, its a way of life that has to be ascribed to 24/7/365............

El Mariachi ,
Ok then bust your ass to go to gym to train hardcore style whole year long , stay on a diet for long time and eat the same shit everyday with no taste , cut all your social and family life for your goal , and step on stage . Then Im wondering how is your opinion going to change!!!

Ronnie Coleman had said that "Bodybuilding is one of the hardest sports out there", and hecplayed football for Grambling.
-
El Maricon... You're such a douche... On a bodybuilding site bullshitting about bodybuilding? Do you go on your phaggoty car forums and talk shit about driving in phucking circles?
-
Maybe you train like a fitness model, and that's why you think training is so easy.
You need a lot of mental strength to take the pain. Not once, but 4-5 times per week and do cardio 2 hours per day while you are in diet. This fucks your brain, is really hard to do.
bullshit bro, i know what hard training is, i trained till i popped a huge headache in my head doing grueling squats,puked couple of times so i know that its hard, but that cant compare with other sports!!
-

So, in other sports that you know of, so they purposely play or do the motion until they puke or have splitting headaches?
BTW, I know that there are many harder sports, and many sports use bodybuilding/weightlifting to get better at their sports, not really the other way around.
-
Bodybuilding is not hard, its all discipline. I mean you set your mind at zero, you know you need to eat big and train big. Other sports like formule 1 you cant set your mind at zero, it requires far more effort.

just giving a idea what hard lifting is like, make the rest up yourself
-
I mean, I think the pros make it more difficult than what it seems. And the reason I say this is because they don't train or diet as hard as they say they do. They can miss a meal or two, miss a workout, and still make great gains because of all the shit they put into their body.
I have known some natural competitors who train extremely hard (harder than most pros) and rarely ever miss meals. They know they can't afford to half-ass the diet and training because they are natural. If you do bbing like this, then i sort of agree that its one of the most difficult "sports". However, we have seen Flex Wheeler train, and judging by his lifting, he doesn't make it seem like the most difficult sport.
-

But if something requires discipline, doesn't that make it difficult/hard to do?
-
Simple stuff like running a marathon is far harder than bodybuilding.
Tour de france, much harder!!
Narcistics need to get it trough their thick gh head, bb is not even close to ''hardest activities''
-

Maybe you haven't competed. competitive bodybuilding is very hard.
-

yeah really, whats with the fucking semantics
if something requires discipline .....THAT MEANS ITS HARD
nothing that is easy requires discipline.....eating bad food, getting high, fucking.......dont require much discipline.............. eating your meals on time, shoving down clean calories, 45 minute treadmill sessions, not missing leg day............that DOES require discipline.........BECAU SE ITS HARD
-
You guys need to read and think correctly, i never claimed competing/bb is not very hard. only the stories that its one of the hardest sports is laughable.
-
You try living a lifestyle of the rich and famous with no job and no regular source of income and then come back and tell us how easy it is.

thats a walk in the park compared to some sports, its idiotic even to compare

you have no idea, unless you are a pro bb, you shouldn't be talking about it.
-
thats a walk in the park compared to some sports, its idiotic even to compare
my only response to that is i cannot fault you cause you are ignorant......i have played many sports..........and bodybuilding by FAR requires the most time, discipline, and dedication
budybuilding might not be as momentarily as sprinting or some other sports..............but the amount of effort you have to sustain to live the bodybnuildin lifestyle is hard, because it NEVER ends
if you disagree, which you will , you simply do not understand.
-
you have no idea, unless you are a pro bb, you shouldn't be talking about it.
close your mouth schmoe
i dont have to be a formule 1 driver to realize what it takes, how was your childhood? you seem to be dropped on your head on more ocasions, stud.

yeah you do, do you not understand, you cannot tell someone what it is like unless you have walked in their shoes, which you haven't. So how are you here telling us you know what it takes to be a formula 1 driver now too? You are so naive.

are you still following me, you dirty homo?
im just setting some pro-bullshitting straight here, like a reality check
-
Some sports might be more intense at that specific moment while the person is engaging in said activity. However, in the long run, I think BBing is tougher than a lot of other sports.

bodybuilding difficulties: have the ability not to eat candy bars in contest mode, starvation
formula 1: make your best lap while not hitting your opponent, it takes so much effort and skill
please dont be retarded, thank you

no it aint, if you have good genetics for it, everyone can pick it up and be good at it, with other sports its not that simple
-

Well, now you're delving into another area of expertise. Howard Gardner believed that people have many different types of intelligence. He proposed that some people possess Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, which is "the potential of using one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems. It is the ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements. Howard Gardner sees mental and physical activity as related." Many theorists believe this ability is also inborn, part of someones genetic capabilities. Thus, people like Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky might be born with a more keen sense of their own body, thus giving them good genetics for hand-eye coordination, and any other movement that would require one to succeed at their given sport. BBing is not the only sport that requires superior genetics.

same with golf, baseball, football, these guys are gifted as well and do not have to try as hard, that is why the normal joe off the street cannot ever no matter how hard he tries be a pro baseball or football player, your born with certain abilities, trying hard only goes so far.

lol starvation (dieting/low carb mode) sucks and is mentally tough as fuk. Eating is one of lifes main pleasures and when you restrain yourself from taking part, it's harder than most things in life.
Bodybuilding isn't so much skill as it is will. You gotta be strong in the mind and the truth is 99% of the population aren't strong enough to endure the 24-7 tactics it demands.
-
whoops
Its all good. This just means there is more validity to my statement, since others agree :D

Well, it depends on what do you mean by "hard".
From the sheer time effort you have to put into the sport, and from the sacrifieces you have to make social and health-wise BB is one of the "hardest" sports.
-
No offense but you're a chubby schmoe. Bb'ing isn't a sport, but its a 24/7 discipline and there's nothing easy about it. Just because some pros are half retarded and take boatloads of drugs under the guidance of bigger, more drugged out dunces (or training "gurus") does not make it one bit easier.
You've trained to a degree that is hard for you, but you're nothing special. Lets see you take the drugs, injecting and working out with a bolus of oil in all your large muscles. Lets see you diet for real, not just scaling back the calories and cutting junk food, I mean a grueling bodybuilding diet. You're either nauseous or fighting hunger pains when you're really trying to augment your physique through food. The word diet is underappreciated like a $5 whore.
You can never be a bodybuilder. You have a beta male mentality, your training is pitiful and delusional and you could never cope with the drug regimen, diet or limited lifestyle choices that bodybuilding entails.
Hope this helps.

Beautifully stated my friend. This guy has no idea what it takes to be a pro BB'er.
I see what you're saying El Mariachi and you have some valid points, but it's really a hard debate to have because I really don't consider bodybuilding a "sport." Are other sports "harder" in a sense that it takes more skill? Yes absolutely. Bodybuilding doesn't require any skills. To make it to the IFBB you have to have a level of focus and mental toughness that is not really required in sports.
Sure you have to have discipline and mental toughness and focus to be great at sports, but only for small periods of tim throughout the day. People in the MLB, NFL and NBA are not structuring their entire day around meals and training, and they're certainly not "suffering" through the experiences you have when truely dieting. They go to practice for a few hours and play games for a few hours. Not near as "hard" as bodybuilding is to me.
Don't be fooled by some of the shit you hear. The guys that win the USA's, Nationals and pro shows are NOT missing meals or any training. The top guys at these shows are all taking the same drugs and they all have good genetics. What separates them is the effort they put in.
-
Is bodybuilding a sport ??? A sport is Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
-
I'm guessing you guys are being sarcastic here.
If you truely think jumping out of birthday cakes at gay birthday parties, private posing sessions for your sugar daddy, shooting all those drugs and all that eating and sleeping is "hard" then you truely need a reality check. ;)

Well, that is why I think natural bodybuilders are much more intense than the pros.

Compared to an IFBB pro they have to be more disciplined and can't afford to miss a meal or not get enough rest etc. But make no mistake, injecting a variety of steroids at high doses daily and popping oral's pretty much all day long isn't easy nor fun. Dealing with scar tissue, pain, potential infections and abscesses, not to mention how much steroids can really fuck with your brain, make you moody, depressed and jack your anxiety through the roof, especially while dieting, is not easy in any sense of the word -- it can become hell.

Hah, listen to this guy take himself so seriously. The only pain is from the neeeeeeeeeeedle...

you guys sound like an ad for Animal Pak
-
Bodybuilding is hard because of all the drugs you gotta take and you gotta keep control while doing like 10 different substances.
If bodybuilding is a hard sport, then so is being a crackhead, or being a hippie who does acid twice a week and smokes herb all day. These are elite athletes too.
-
Bodybuilding is as "hard" as equestrian. Those jockeys have to diet hard and live a disciplined lifestyle too.
And nobody outside theirs "sports" view it as a sport.

I am not saying BB is the hardest sport, but until anyone diets for a show and puts in the iron time to build muscle to place high, they have no business commenting in this thread......

El Mariachi ,
Ok then bust your ass to go to gym to train hardcore style whole year long , stay on a diet for long time and eat the same shit everyday with no taste , cut all your social and family life for your goal , and step on stage . Then Im wondering how is your opinion going to change!!!
Dunnit for along time.......it's not a sport.
-
true warriors.
The drugs, protein, shaving and sparkling thongs is more than any normal man could handle.
And to top it all off, they go on stage and battle it our pop locking oiled up in their glitter thongs for a crowd of 100 masturbating homosexers. Like i said, true warriors.

Agree 100%.
We all know that it's debatable whether bodybuilding is a true "sport" or not, but one thing that can't be denied is that it takes more mental discipline to execute and gain success in than any other activity I know. All other popular mainstream sports, such as football, basketball, golf, etc, are really just "games" when it all comes down to it. Your genetics determine your skill and they're certainly not 24-hour a day jobs.
It is incredibly difficult for a natural bodybuilder to gain muscle and it takes not just a few years, but decades. You still have to have the mental focus to eat correctly and frequently, to train hard, and to get the proper rest/sleep, and on many occasions, sacrifice your social life and relationships.
It's no easier when on drugs either because the monotony of dieting training and cardio is still there when trying to comete, and although it gets ridiculed on here sometimes, I can see why some people say that drugs really are the icing on the cake, only 10% etc, because without the training and dieting consistency there's nothing.

BODYBUILDING IS NOT A SPORT ITS A PAGEANT!!!!
The only competition involves old men judging your body in a thong standing next to another man in a thong.
eating, sleeping and training is in no way athletic
drugs can be compared to tit jobs, and facelifts in a beauty pageant.

EL Mariachi you dont know how hard it is, you never dieted for a show, its hard to follow the drug regimen hahahaha fuckin losers
i stand corrected, only 1 formula 1 race takes more effort on the body and mind than a whole year preparation for the olympia.
BB is a pain in the ass ofcourse, it requires of you to be a drug-junkie

Well please, I beg for your pardon. I couldn't get past your smug attitude to realize that.
BTW, juicing very minimally and actually cruising until Wednesday after I get bloodwork. Still huge and shredded despite fighting Norovirus. Had H1N1 last Winter too but even at my worst I look better then you by leaps and bounds. Feels good :D

hahah yes very minimal, yet you're cruising now on a low dosage, why dont you show us this manbeast in pics, it must feel good to have a better build than a natural, you're junkie that needs weed to have a good workout, for better muscle-mind connection hahah you must train with sissy weights. pardon me all over the place mr.

Genetics don`t give you skill, it gives you the potential. These sports take years of practice, and not just hand eye shit, it takes mental cleverness. You gotta be focusing on many things at once and gotta try to out think the competition. A sport like soccer i would argue is one of the most competitive sports in the world. You take the best athletes from many countries not just one or two. It`s a intense sport where your constantly running and making very fast paced decisions. Add to that it`s rougher than most sports with the exception of football and hockey.
Bodybuilding is more dependant on drugs and genetics than any other sport. The only real challenge is the dieting, it`s hard but like most `models` they probally take a bit of blow just to make it a bit easier.

Ahh yes, you know everything don't you. You've exposed the very first marijuana and steroid addict ever. Good job. Now I wont need to worry about finding my next joint or lick of steroids, my dark shameful secret is exposed!
Seeing as how we're all coming out, why don't you step out of the closet big guy. I bet there's tons of insecure muscle studs out there looking for a fat furry guy like you to cuddle with.
