Why watching Bodybuilding sucks. A short essay.

[DK II]

Donkey, I read your post and I agree in general. But why are people so fascinated about bbing, those who love it and those who hate it? Not one can turn down the eyes to a bber, everyone wants to see the guy. Todays athlets from other sports, are actually trying to look as muscular as they can. We can find some exampls in  PL, where a few years ago almost all athletes were fat as hell, but today you can already see lots of good Plers looking fairly fit. See also the example of WSM, some athletes are now getting more muscular, they actually have some bbing inside, continuing to other sports, Rugby or American Footbal, lots of athlets look like fairly good bbers and yet mantaining their functionality. I think that inside each person is a bber, everyone wants to have a great physique, although some may not agree with this, I would tell that it is a lie. If you consider doing "serious" bbing, it is a very hard style of life, harder than most sports, and I do consider bbing training as a sport, as far as bbing competitions is concerned, I agree with you when you say they are boring (at leat most of them). Probably they should implement another feature in bbing competitions: Why not create a strength movement to prove the funcionality of those good looking muscles, of course this would be a very complex measure to implement, but it would definetly be worthfull of trying. Create categories, muscles is all about strength, movement etc. Bbing could be a very complete sport and much more interesting and more competitive. But this an idea that needs much discussion and reasonable thoughts. Waht do you think?

You are talking about building your body, which i said is a great thing. Athlete physiques are nice to look at, greek statues prove the point.

Now as you come to the competitions and the functionality of muscles, there we have another point why watching bodybuilding sucks.
These guys are not athletes. Have you ever seen Jay Cutler huffing and puffing because he has to walk a few meters? Ronnie cannot run, he cannot play ball, he can only lie on his couch or do simple movements like benchpressing and squatting. There is NO sport in this.  Not a tiny bit.

What you are talking about is the old idea of the olympic games. Having beautiful people show off their skills. everyone was an allround talent.
Markus Ruehl would lose a decathlon to a 13 year old girl, that's how athletic he is.

[GoneAway]

I personally can't agree or disagree as to whether an entire competition sucks, since I've never seen one myself, but I can say the posing routines are a great part. I rarely get bored watching someone like Darrem, Markus, Ronnie or Melvin pose. I think the idea of having the scorecards on a big screen as they finish each round would be a good idea.

Why not create a strength movement to prove the funcionality of those good looking muscles, of course this would be a very complex measure to implement, but it would definetly be worthfull of trying. Create categories, muscles is all about strength, movement etc. Bbing could be a very complete sport and much more interesting and more competitive. But this an idea that needs much discussion and reasonable thoughts. Waht do you think?

This was done about 90 years ago. Read up on Eugene Sandow and the first BBing shows ever and you'll see some of it.

Yes, you are right about that. I told several times here on get big that Mariusz should be analyzed more carefully, he is a good example of very good condition and also tremendous functionality. He can run, swim, lift enormous weights and still look like a bber. I saw him training kick boxing in a vid and he is also agile. Well, what I want to say is that if an entire new federation were created, concerning aesthetics and functionality, that would be the supreme sport. I think that WSM, MMA are the most complete sports ever, but they do not regard aesthetics as a competitive issue. The world is made of innovations, why not creat a Fed that could produce the supreme sport? Like I said before, I am no genious but if somehow bbing and some WSM features could be combined, we would definetly reach the "core" of this concept that is "muscles and funcionality", big muscles "means" more strength and movement capability. We have other competitions for small guys, decathlon etc, etc. Why not creat the ultimate competition, the way Grimmeck used to do "here are my big muscles and here is what I can lift and so"...

they should have a talent round in these shows..lol. you know, like the circus does . it would make it more entertaining

A lot of my friends who don't follow bodybuilding think I am gay because I have 100+ bodybuilding DVDs.    To be honest, I don't blame them, but I am as straight as a person can be on scales of sexual orientation, and I'm a very open person and liberal in the sense that I wouldn't hide private affairs of that nature.  But I can totally understand why some of my friends think I'm gay. 

I guess being a connoisseur of cunnilingus doesn't redeem myself either.

Maybe they think you're gay because they went through some of your bodybuilding mags and found that all pages with Animalpak ads were stuck together

No matter how you slice it BBing is highly gay.

As I said in another thread,  Besides a BBing show, there is only one other place on earth you will find men staring at oiled up, muscular men in thongs and that's a gay bar.

When I was younger I was so into it, I really didn't realize how homoish it was. As I got older and wiser It became more apparent.

Watching bodybuilding sucks. I mean, let's face it, it's absolutely stupid.

Working out, or as you can say building your body, is a great sport.
there are several reasons for this.
First, you can do it nearly anywhere without very much special equipment. Some dumbells, barbells and you're set.
Second, you don't need friends or other people who annoy you. Ever tried to have a spontanious football or soccer match? Impossible!
But Boybuilding, you can do that with the greates person on the earth, the one you love the most: Yourself.
Third, in bodybuilding, you can never lose. You pound more weight all the time, grow bigger and bigger, and if you have a shitty day, there are no others who recognize it, so it was just a shitty day. A lost soccer match is a defeat, but in bodybuilding, you can always up the dosage!
Fourth, you can smartass all day with nutrition and you know every medical drug on the market.

So, bodybuilding is far suprior to every other sport ever invented by man.

But watching it?
If you watch a workout-DVD at home, the neighbors think you're into gay sadomasochistic porn because of all the grunting.
Your family wonders why you like watching other men sweating and cuffing. You yourself are sitting on the couch and down that weightgainer that has lots of sugar in it and dream "Yes, i want to be this big one day. Think i have to up the dosage a bit."

Going to conventions and seeing the shows is even worse. While watching other peole train hard may have a certain motivational aspect, watching oiled up men in thongs and women that have more testosterone than a British Dragon storehouse has no sense at all.
Plus, there are many other men that run around with gleamy eyes staring at backs and asses and chests and arms, having their very disturbed girlfriend at their sides (or not), constantly poking them whispering: "Look at this guys triceps!!" "Sick legs". 

Now the so called contests have actually nothing to do with sports. It's simply a beauty contest, and beauty lies in the eye of the viewer/judges.

Then buying and watching the magazines...
This is some fetish porn magazine or what?


I mean come one, where is the connection to bodybuilding in this??
Guys dressing up in all the costumes of gay phantasies, the cop, the fireman, the woodcutter, the construction worker.
All the titles read "HARDCORE!" "Manly as hell".

So, after having carefully revised these aspects, i come to the conclusion that building your body is a great thing, but following bodybuilding in shows and magazines is abslolutely pointlees if you're not gay.

i agree training is fun...shows are boring

shows are gay but training is a very heterosexual thing to do..(get pussy)

You put a lot of thought into this, homie.

Watching 22 men chase a football around in tight and ill fitting spandex is gay too.

So is watching a baseball game full of men.

I hate manly men sports.  They are all beer, swilling morons who want to rub their bellies together and hug each other and high-five at nonsense as they get a boner when their favorite player makes a play.

[nycbull]

The other thing is, I recognize male beauty and am not shy to point it out, e.g., to say that Milos was an attractive man during his prime.  In truth, and ironically, it is actually my love and lust for women that does that though - for example to be keenly aware of the type of things women are attracted to in men, physique wise and otherwise.  I admire Milos' and his physicality insofar as I wish it was mine (so I could get as many babes as he could  ).  People who are both intelligent and open minded will realize that as gay as all that sounds, that I'm being sincere when I say I'm straight and my explanation above.  Those who would think I'm gay either don't know me very well or either immature of unintelligent (or a combination).

true I am sure Milos has a lot of women. I dont see why he cant come on here and tell us some of his wild sex stories, threesomes, foursomes, drugged up sex orgy parties and so on. He cant deny that they go on. ANd I am sure he has frequented a few. So what do you say Milos how about a few stories for the poor guys on this board that can't get any, like shadow.

You didn't get it right?

If you observe my posts, i never post about bodybuilders, and if i do only to critisize or insult them or the ones who are posting about it.

I think you got offended by my post because you are the one staring at oily butts all day and who is as gay as a milos sarcev leg training day.

Professional bodybuilders aren't gay by my definiton because they are the ones who DO the sport, not watch it. Professional bodybuilders build their bodies because they love the sport, yet they pose and dress up for all those gay muscle worshipping guys like you are one, shadow.

This whole thread I agree with, this is exactly the reason why I quit buying bbing mags a few years ago.
