When I lift, I lift for looks and strength, with great form.

Bodybuilder / Beach Bodybuilder!

I'm more concerned about the look than I am strength!


But its more about looking a certain way for me, the competition comes second to that!  Not the other way around!

You need to add a couple more categories

Schmoe: Doesn't necessarily train and often fat/obese, but is "interested" in bodybuilders bodybuilding

Tiny Tit: Doesn't lift heavy and looks like they'd lose the "Most Muscular" award in a concentration camp posedown, but discuss and give out advice on lifting & nutrition endlessly

Suppose you're right. Was deadlifting tonight and the squat racks was deserted, yet again. Legs is the only bodypart I can train without having to wait for the area to clear from twinks and gays.

Permabulker: Trains primarily for looks, but never diets down due to fear of being small or out of incompetence

Pumper: Upper arms and chest only, esp with synthol, implants, or site injections - sometimes calves too to help "complete the package".

Train to be strong, muscular and relatively lean. I couldn't be bothered with the extreme levels of low bodyfat that bodybuilders diet down to.
And combining powerlifting style training with bodybuilding.
