Title: Who Cares About Bodybuilding Anymore?
Post by: GigantorX on December 20, 2005, 07:29:48 PM
  Really, does anyone really care who wins any contests anymore? Or do you just like to chew up gossip and talk about who got screwed and who is gay? Speak on this you zombies.

I suppose I care, but in the sense that I look at it like a freak show. Bodybuilding is quite amusing to me.
Just entertainment. Kinda like the WWE.

That's about as accurate as I would put it.

It's been a good year and a half since I could tell you who placed top 3 to 5 in any major show you asked me about.  It just started being the same 8-10 guys with progressively worser physiques at one point or another.  No new guys, and guys past their prime trying to find that magical balance in proportion or whatever that was supposed to sooner or later justify the new quality deficit.  A friend pointed out to me a little while ago that back in the early 90's, when people like Titus and Prince were turning pro, that people in gyms and shit would be talking about who was gonna take who 6 months out from even the national shows.  Now people are doing good to know the name of the guy that turned pro a month ago, on the internet.  I don't know if it's just where I've been or where bodybuilding's at right now.  Regardless, things sure have changed from my point of view, wherever that's coming from.

Sadly, pro BBing is just boring. Everyone looks the same now.  Bald and bloated.

Theres like 3 big contests in a year and the results are always very similar so it's fuckin boring.  Not only that, everyone looks the same or is actually looking worse.  When there's controversy, like one of the competitors killing people, it tends to get interesting.

no, 619 called, he never came.

WTF are you talking about? I was there on a Tuesday-at about 3:50 PM in the afternoon-at your "Gym"-which was not a gym at all, but a fitness store/warehouse......

I went in and specifically asked for " Big G Man"..........she said Big G Who?

I the specifically asked her if ANYONE here can bench press 650 pounds and she said NO !

show me the pics, too bad you arent going to be able to... because he never came.

Total Bullshit-I was there Big G Man-you were not.

The "Gym Source" is not even a gym, not at all-you said it was. That was a flat out lie.

Don't say anymore shit about you benching 675 RAW-I was there and I called you on your lie-and I owned you on that one. Next time try to be more realistic-like a 500 RAW bench.....

Sorry-but that is the truth and I know the truth hurts you.

I have to admit, I used to be a lot more into it. I always followed the nationals to see who might be the next great pro. Now, I keep track of the Mr.O, but that's about it.

I like this site mainly because there are several knowledgeable and funny posters. I also enjoy many of old school pictures that people post.

I was also into women's bbing when Cory was Ms. O. Now, I couldn't tell you the name of the current Ms. O.

I believe this lack of interst in the outcome is really key to understanding the decline in the top bodybuilding scene. I remeber calling (my nickel)the GOLDS at Venice Beach to hear who won the Olympia. They also had this 1-900 # where you could call and get the info about 10-15 years ago.
It was still viewed as a somewhat legit contest back then , now bodybuilders are much more cynical.
In the famous bodybuilding film, Pumping Iron, you can see on the black bulliten board by the desk the # of days countdown until the Universe and Olympia. It used to be like that for the old Mr America as well.
The sport today is lacking the fraternal atmosphere of a crazy but wonderful family of iron pumpers.

Maybe body building hasn’t changed so much; maybe you have.  It’s quite possible that you’ve simply outgrown the sport.  Let’s face it, body building is a pretty one dimensional world. 

Just think about all the (silly) things you were fascinated by at 18 that no longer appeal to you.  We often talk of physical receptors on this board, but we all have emotional and psychological receptors too. 

Years ago, I actually subscribed to FLEX and attended contests; I also used to watch wrestling on TV.  No more.  I’ve outgrown it.  I still work out for my own sake and maintain personal/sexual interest in big muscle guys, but “care about body building”?  Nah.  I’ve moved on.  Maybe you have too; you just don’t realize it yet. :-\

   Good one Rome.  But Anyways, I did this topic thread because I really wanted to see if anyone cared about the "sport" anymore. Im pretty sure everyone on here is interested in budybuilding and weighttraining for themselves. But it is the sport itself I was asking about. Does anyone really care who wins anything anymore? Does anyone really care about any of the personalities? And I never said I "hate" bodybuilding, I was just asking a question since no one on here really talks about it in general and in a positive light, it seems every thread is about Ronnie v Dorian or 'Look whos off the juice HAHAHA' or someone calling out or ragging on someone else.
