are bodybuilders athletes?

[Devon97]

If you have to lift weights and run...then you are an athlete

If a constentant for the Ms Universe or HAwaii'n Tropic Swimsuite ran and lifted before a contest would that make them an athlete?

[Devon97]

If you have to lift weights and run...then you are an athlete

SO if a gamer likes to run 2 miles a day to improve quality of life and lower blood pressure which could contribute to his improved performance in a Gamer tourny would that make him an athlete?

Pronunciation: 'ath-"lEt, ÷'a-th&-"lEt
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin athleta, from Greek athlEtEs, from athlein to contend for a prize, from athlon prize, contest

THIS is the WEBSTER Definition of "Athlete"
---> During a BBing show " Physical strength, agility or stamina" is NOT tested and scored!
----> During a BBing Show there is no SKILL or TRAINING graded by the judges!
By DEFINITION BBErs ARE NOT athletes.

[Kegdrainer]

So if I play Football on the weekends does that make me an athlete?....What kind of question is that? That is WHY you have recreational and professional athletes. Anyone engage in phisical activity may be defined as an athlete. Hope that helps.

I just listed the DEFINITION  according to websters:

SO NO your Definition is WRONG.

BBING competition does not REQUIRE Physical strength, agility or stamina. THEREFORE by Definition bbers cant be athletes.
HOpe this helps.

UHHH " Trained in exercises" ...Let time a check the bench press/Deadlift....were a exercise....again DO YOU WORK OUT??? I am really

[Devon97]

re -read the difinition . Trained in exercises THAT REQUIRE PHYSICAL STRENGTH,AGILITY or STAMINA.

Bodybuilding Competitions DO not require any of those traits... they simply require that you LOOK GOOD!

[joejoe]

Serriously MAl, You must have played some seriously pu$$y football if you really think it is WAY easier then BBing. LOL

[Devon97]

Please tell me that last show you went to where a Judge asked a competitor how much be could deadlift?

[Kegdrainer]

what a jerkoff.  Bodybuilders dont have to run EVER

cardio just requires raising the heartrate to specific levels for fat burning.  
Running is probably more efficient than most types of cardio, but elliptical trainers, bikes, even rowing can be used for cardio.  Running is not a requirement for bodybuilding.

maybe you've never seen any bodybuilders in wheelchairs either...  douchebag

[Earl1972]

they are athletes

[Devon97]

Your confusing POwerlifting with BBing.

Great...what the hell is the NGA? And why are you there? Is it a hot dog eating contest...?

Why are you asking me to show up there...?

[Tamer Razor]

All The athletes in the world work out as part of their regiment to improve performance in their sport. No one ask a Football player how much he bench after a Touch Down. That is a consenquence of trainning regiment. If that was not a factor why do they keep such accurate stats in such exercise?

[Mr. Intenseone]

People need to stop referring to bodybuilders as athletes.  A bodybuilding show is all politics, and demonstrate absolutely NO athleticism.  Weightlifting is a quantifiably measurable event, even bowling requires development of an athletic skill where someone has to apply their skill in accurately rolling a ball.  Merely lifting weights, restricting your diet, and taking a shit ton of drugs does not make someone an athlete.  People in competitive sports do all these things also, but they then apply their hard work towards some type of sport, ie...football, rugby, baseball, boxing, etc...
Results of bodybuilding contests are not determined in any way by the athleticism of the competitors.  Do we call Miss USA pageant athletes?  Bodybuilders are the same as these women.  Looking ripped is not a sport.  Would you compare flexxing your front double to throwing a 100 mph fastball?  I wouldn't. 

Stop calling these sideshow freaks athletes.

I swear this is not my gimmick account........but It's what I've always said for over 25 years......BODYBUILDERS ARE NOT ATHLETES!
