if they really wanted to de-gay and heterosexualize bodybuilding they could, but they dont seem to want to?
a few changes from the top of my head:
1. no costumes, outfits, bondage, chains, nails, superman boots etc
2. no thongs
3. no use of black rnb music
4. no stripper-posing
feel free to come with more suggestions

You could cover all four here by banning Kai.

#1, no more "Thongs", bring back the old-school NABBA posing trunks!!!

Bring back athletic points like they had in the old AAU Mr. America contest. Part of their points to win was how much they could total in Olympic lifting the day of the contest. How many guys in the Olympia could clean and jerk 315 the day of the contest? I would bet zero.

It would be hilarious to watch 50% of the contestants blow a shoulder or a biceps with a stupid oly lift.

did you not see the face slapping thread???
Ok, say they did that in bb'ing... Does that mean powerlifters should be under a certain %bf then?
What you're suggesting is taking guys out of their elements to which makes them the elite they are. The same would happen if powerlifters tried to compete at lower bf levels.
YOu just wanna see them fail.

How would Kai Greene be able to do his posing routine?? ;D ::)
-
Bingo.
The premise of the thread is how you can make bodybuilding a more manly activity. I suggested they prove they aren't mirror cosmetic athletes by proving their power with an olympic lift like the old days. The two of you guys throw a hissy fit proving making bodybuilding a more manly (hetro) activity can't be done.
If I misinterpreted the intend of the thread because the slang heterosexuaizing was meant literally and you're actually talking about the sport attracting more heterosexuals then my bad.

You're right, it just can't be done.
What about if they had a talent round? Could play the flute or something?

Then, a throw down on the bag pipes if people are not convinced by the skin flute performances.

Yeah, nothing more manly then posing nude..... In a pageant show..... With shrunken raisin balls from years on ped abuse.... and weaker then shit because you haven't drank water in 2 fucking days.

Ban baygym.
Ban fake chins, hairpieces, hair-transplants, lip fillers (like what Piana has).

Interesting topic.
It is no secret that bodybuilding is inherently a homoerotic activity and it is something that you can hardly dettach from bodybuilding. Sometimes its homoerotic nature is deliberately exhibited by bodybuilders on stage, regardless of sexual orientation. Certainly bodybuilders are very uninhibited individuals. You don't have to be gay or bisexual to enjoy this side of bodybuilding just like you dont have to be heterosexual to do things heteroerotic.
It is always rewarding to be perceived as more attractive sexually than the average person and, in my personal opinion, when you become a bodybuilder and when you become a competitive bodybuilder, there is always a percentage of that motivation implied when becoming a bodybuilder. Now, this other motivation is not equally essential for all bodybuilders. Some feel more motivated by this than others. Nothing is absolute.
The question is, why do some people in the bodybuilding world feel the need to claim bodybuilding as a heterosexual property or as an expression of heterosexuality? Why? Activities such as bodybuilding are a human property; not a heterosexual property or a nation's property, etc.
People have the right to engage in bodybuilding regardless of sexual orientation and people have the right to look at it the way that pleases them the most being from a "sportlike" perspective, as entertainment or for its sexually arousing potential.
Even if you could heterosexualise bodybuilding it will never stopped being seen by society as an erotically charged activity because what competitive bodybuilding demands for it to be exerted inherently revolves around this item, that is, suggestive poses, suggestive posing routines and, or course, the exposure of the nearly naked body and a body that is muscular and, muscularity is a secondary sex trait, especially the male body, so bodybuilding will always be a niche.
Bodybuilding is comprised by people who are heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual.

I think shorts like Arnie and Franco wore should be mandatory.
Glute/flute sessions belong to the backrooms.

Would have to build time machine and travel back to Arnold's era.

Can a male heterosexual bodybuilder put on a glittery thong and actually call himself hetero? I think not :-\

I think you read his no-thongs comment the wrong way.
Having said this, your response had me in stitches. ;D
-
The AAU Mr contests also judged personality and facial looks. The Mr America contest was to find the best representative of the American male. It was the male equivalent of the Miss America contest.

Never going to happen. Gays and gay culture are in control, both by design, and by happenstance, and have been since the beginning. I'm sure even back in the ole beer garden lifting contest days, there were some bear loving schomoes just thinking "yum ;D".

Let the women have a say. It is women who really pick men outside of bodybuilding, so allow them to take their naturally position as pickets of what is attractive to them. Set guidelines for aesthetics, symmetry, shape, conditioning, and allow them to pick.

Not speaking for all women, but most seem to prefer men who look like Brad Koenig.

Well we are talking about the realm of bodybuilding. The physiques would probably resemble those of MuscleMania. Facially, they probably be very aesthetic regardless of race.

There are male bodybuilders who are gay and bisexual of all ages and, just like the heterosexual ones their interests in becoming bodybuilders are just as varied as those of heterosexual bodybuilders.
Likewise, there are gay and bisexual bodybuilding fans of all ages with varied interests in bodybuilding as you will find in heterosexual bodybuilding fans. Although, just like most heterosexual women, most gay guys find bodybuilders equally repulsive.
Why do some feel bodybuilding must be a heterosexual property or that it must represent heterosexuality?

I'm deeply offended by you calling me gay. :)
If you like bodybuilding even if you are heterosexual you are still defying patriarchy. :)

I agree with joon here. Let the fags and drags have bodybuilding. It should definitely be an underground thing and not a mainstream thing because it only tells the youth that "even you can stack ton of ped's and get this lifestyle, and if you're poor, do gay porn to finance your journey to huge ripped glutes".
Let real power, endurance and performance athletes at most represent "greatness". What does bodybuilding represent, really? Developing your body for selfish reasons is vain as it is, but pro bodybuilding..... that's really something else.

Clean and jerk? Will that replace the jerk and clean at the Ice Machine?

You might be right or you could be wrong. Koenig is a husband and father of two. He's also a longtime men's fashion model for high-end fashion houses, such as Chanel. I guess his sexual orientation could come into question for some. I doubt many women are as concerned about this as are a lot of the "bodybuilders" on Getbig. Aside from all this, he's got great hair. LOL.

Wrong !
Just Schmoes ......(there's a difference)
If gays were in control or at least interested in Pro bodybuilding ... the sport would have had a multi media corporation or broadcasting outlets like Mtv. E! etc behind it .

Bodybuilding will never be mainstream or popular even in the most open-minded country because for most of the human population bodybuilding is closer to stripping than it is to sports because of obvious reasons. As I said before, even if someone tried to "heterosexualise" bodybuilding it will still retain its erotic nature either because the very act of standing almost naked hitting the poses is already an erotic act in itself and because most bodybuilders will keep preparing suggestive posing routines. One never has to forget that most men and women who do bodybuilding, to different degrees, pursue this activity because it also enhances one's sexual attractiveness. Some bodybuilders value sexual attractiveness achieved by building big muscles more than others but that element of the activity is valued by all bodybuilders, again, regardless of their sexual orientation.
Even suggesting the heterosexualisation of bodybuilding is already speaking about sex/sexuality applied to bodybuilding.

Okay so bodybuilding is gey, what's next?

sell tickets and make sure ratio of audience is 90% female 10% male, obviously this means you will have 5 people show however as long as its a room of 500 men 10 women and 25 guys oiled up almost naked with very unmanly moves you will have this sport look stupid to most, forget the gay thing, im talking just looking stupid

I doubt it looks stupid to insiders. It appears some of you have a problem with people/bodybuilders being naked or almost naked. I don't get why it's such a big deal. Personally, I'd prefer to look at well-built naked people on the competition stage, both men and women, as opposed to obese folks who run around in various stages of undress in public places. While I have nothing against fat people, I would prefer not to be exposed to their naked bodies.

Bodybuilding is mainly a sausage fest. People parading on stage who look like pumped up "vainy" weeners... most people who prefer that kind of action are man2man getters with a few women in between.
Let them have it and move on.

Not disagreeing with you, but it does beg the question, what are all these supposed straight Getbigers doing on a bodybuilding orientated webpage?
-
If you get rid of thongs, get rid of posing routines with music and simply judged people on how they look etc BBing would be much better.

I am having difficulty forming a mental picture of this. Are you suggesting bodybuilders compete on stage sans thongs while just standing there not moving? -Seems it would be very weird to watch. At least let's have some music playing. ;D
-
nope . Im saying they come out in short shorts. Pose together and are judged by their body by some kinda electronic polling either localized or online.
No glitz no glamour. Involve the audience. Take away any faggotry with lame ass routines and bs judging..

He could , for the sake of "anything to win mentality" Just Don't expect any woman to think is "attractive or manly looking " though
WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-

Most likely vanity and some insecurities. Everybody is insecure, one way or another, but in some arenas the more insecure may prosper because the put it on the line for adoration.
Another factor is wanting to be more than one can be which is sexless but also an important ingredient of the anabolic cock-tail.

THEY DID ...and they keep saying it every single day ; to their eyes: "Bodybuilding is gross" and they wouldn't waste a single minute watching a bodybuilding contest let alone paying a ticket for a prejudging etc ....
please don't be that naïve.
for the 99% of women , they don't care if Phil is first and Branch is 6th they both look exactly the same . repulsive and not functional in bed for the amount of chemical they got in them .... (their perception anyway)
A woman think that a 6'1" chicken legs, with abs and great hair is the ideal muscle man ... nothing more opposed to Bodybuilding

Not at all...I know its very common for guys to use this excuse. WOMEN HATE MUSCLES LOLS THEY LOVE SKINNY DUDES. Yet the bbers have all the girls...Says something right?
Also you compare a bber to Mr Olmypia. Guess what a 6 foot 1 dude who is 250 and ripped will get pussy ALOT OF IT...

Im always around 235/240 lbs so I don't want you to think "women love skinny dudes because Im a twink" lol .
is not an excuse .... Here's a perfect example of what I'm trying to make you see; Say you take a famous world class bodybuilder to a radio morning show to promote a contest ( like I have been witness many times ) and only men "mostly teenagers" would call to ask questions ..
then you take a nobody twenty something fitness model abs, chicken legs colgate smile,cute haircut, to that same radio station and the djs will tell you off the air " my phone has been blown up with tons of texts from girls that want me to put pictures of the guy up on the radio station's website ...happens all the time .
If by Heterosexualizing bodybuilding you mean, bringing women's attention to it , youre wasting your time.
WooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They should have normal hetero women on the judging panel to improve the heterosexual component. All heterosexual men want to impress women.
As a heterosexual women, I would like to offer my input: I disagree with 3 and 4. Stripper routines keep the heterosexual women's attention. Kai is not the most attractive man Iv'e ever seen but his posing routines (sans the masks and crap) are really good. As women we don't mind looking at naked guys who can move.
Also it's not the music...it's the presentation. I saw Vince Taylor compete with slow R&B music and he killed it.I think they should mark down begging for applause.
-
Most heterosexual male bodybuilders also want to impress other men and get reactions from them be it admiration for the "hard work" and/or also being appreciated as more attractive sexually.
That doesn't mean they want to go to bed with men, it is just an ego booster.
They make a lot of sacrifices for a competition that is extremely subjective where most of the audience is male; not female. Your heterosexual male bodybuilder is a different breed within the heterosexual population. The uninhibited nature of what they do should make this very clear to all.
-
I think one of the gayest things about competitive bodybuilding is the posing routine to music. They should get rid of that and just have prejudging mandatories and call outs.
-
By short shorts, do you mean something like these?
^^
N.A.B.B.A. and I.F.B.B. used to sell completely normal, non-shmoe posing trunks...

This isn't necessarily true. I will be the first to admit I do not like the onstage look. In most cases I think it looks terrible but that's because of the way the sport has decided to evolve. I think you had nice looking men up until the 90's and then it went downhill. Presentation is also big too. I think the posing trunks are too small as well.
I don't even know many women who think the men's physique guys look good onstage but offstage is a different story. Same with bodybuilders. I've seen women run guys down to get a photo with them so women do like bodybuilders just not in those trunks and with big guts. Same in a nightclub. Those chicks were relentless!!
-

If your sexually falls apart when seeing a guy being and feeling sexy for other guys then you probably chose the wrong "sport". At least you should reconsider watching female bodybuilding strictly.
-

Well, he had to make up for the crappy phyisque.
-
he should be disqualified on the spot since his routine wasn't even a bodybuilding competition routine.. i mean dude did what 3 seconds of actual posing of his body/body parts to be "JUDGED".. isn't that the whole point supposed to be?....
on another matter, at least it WAS INDEED women screaming for it/him it sounds like from the audience...

- or a bunch of guys with nelly voices.
-
Of course, women can scream louder than men yet the audience at these events is mainly male; not female. No one in the audience complained about him doing such an erotically charged posing routine. :)
So many male bodybuilders, probably most of them heterosexual yet none of them even hesitate to show off and practically rub their muscles on the judges' faces. Real men know how to be sexy for other men. ;)
-
It's a mix of people because people come to see friends and family. Even big shows like the Arnold and Olympia yes a majority of people are "fans" but you get a lot of people who come to support friends and family members who are pros. Don't forget now that there are so many divisions there are lots of women in the audience to watch figure or bikini
It never fails that as the show drags on and people who don't know anything about bodybuilding start to get bored some of the women start cat calling or if there's an inspiring man on stage they start screaming. This happened at the last local show I went to. The guy looked like James dean with muscles and these young girls next to us we're going nuts
It happens. Especially if the guy is charismatic and has good presentation
-
Only a small fraction of the entire audience is family and friends. You couldn't fill a whole hall with just family and friends. Also, the activity tends to isolate many bodybuilders so don't expect a lot of friends attending the shows and many might feel repulsed by the sight ripped bodies with veins all over.
It is mainly fans who pay the tickets to these events.
Truth is, not all bodybuilders are heterosexual. I dare say there is very balanced number of heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality among them. Being heterosexual doesn't grant you any special right or monopoly on bodybuilding. Heterosexual bodybuilders and gay/bisexual bodybuidlers don't differ much from each other except for their sexual orientation. Likewise, heterosexual bodybuilding fans and gay/bisexual bodybuilding fans don't differ much from each other except for their sexual orientation.

There are a lot of competitors and many bring family and friends to support them in the biggest show of their lives That was a large part Of the audience for the 212 men and women physique at the Olympia. It didn't seem to be that many fans which was a shame. Those ladies really put on a show. The main stage was different because people come to Vegas for the men's open. That's mostly fans but there are still family and friends there as well
People are horrified true enough but then if someone hot comes on then they'll start taking pictures and making comments and yelling. Especially the older women :-* it was really bad in Vegas where you can get liquored up before having to sit through all of that.

People are horrified true enough but then if someone hot comes on then they'll start taking pictures and making comments and yelling. Especially the older women :-* it was really bad in Vegas where you can get liquored up before having to sit through all of that.
Yeah, there are a lot of competitiors, but not all the members of their families and friends have the time to attend these shows, especially if they must travel to other town/city. Some feel repulsed by those bodies too.
Bodybuilding cannot depend on family and friends to keep these shows alive, those are very uncertain audience. There's when fans enter the game.

I roll hate to say it but that's how they are making the money now. Not too many ifbb shows can survive on their own with just fans. Like I said I was at the Wpd finals at the Olympia and the majority of the audience was family and friends.
There were a TON of empty seats
If you to to any NPC show the majority of the audience is family/friends of the mpd/bikini competitors. I went to a show last year where there was an ifbb portion and we were sitting next to some people who were horrified since it was their first time and they traveled but it was to support their family.

Of course, women can scream louder than men yet the audience at these events is mainly male; not female. No one in the audience complained about him doing such an erotically charged posing routine. :)
So many male bodybuilders, probably most of them heterosexual yet none of them even hesitate to show off and practically rub their muscles on the judges' faces. Real men know how to be sexy for other men. ;)
That's some straight gimmick talk right there.

Oh and to add several of us ladies made it a point to support the women competing Friday night because I didn't think it was right that they play to an empty house when the fitness division is one of the most exciting. Things filled in for the men's open but it was pretty empty for the ladies and again a lot were friends and family my
You would think bikini appealed to heterosexual men but most weren't interested. They were there for bodybuilding.

Heterosexual Bodybuilding. They should bring one guy out on stage at a time and have him stand in between two hot chicks and hit poses...Judging and placings should be who looks the best next to hot pussy. Winner gets a plastic trophy and gets to bang the two ho's...

It is not as common as homoeroticism is common in bodybuilding, but sometimes there are also presentations when a male bodybuilder and a female bodybuilder perform together and, many times it has heterosexual sexual/erotic connotations. In a way, the purpose is to eroticise the muscular body reinforcing heterosexuality thus sending a passive aggressive message that it is OK to sexualise bodybuidlers and muscles as long as it is through heterosexuality.
Heteroeroticism may be less frequent to be seen in competitions, but that doesn't mean it is completely absent.

That would be a sea change to our "sport".

I have a suspicion that sexualizing bodybuilding regardless of whether the context is homosexual or heterosexual, is here to stay. The distinction is blurred.
