Coleman could be a world class powerlifter. Jonnie Jackson is a World Class powerlifter.( Arnold Classic winner). Several Olympic lifters and Strongmen where bodybuilders before. After no doing well as bodybuilders they became powerlifters or Strongmen. Exemples for you....Odd Haugen, Andy Bolton (1003lb deadlift).....
Please educate yourself
I really hope that it you because it would be pretty sad if you posting someone else's pictures. When was your last show?
Sure, some bbers are athletic. But athletism IS NOT a prerequisite to being a top bodybuilder. One would even say that bodybuilding at the highest level makes you UNathletic.

Would you classify a race car driver as an athlete? Those fucks do nothing but sit down and drive while taking orders from the crew pit. No training required other then being able to control your bladder for 3-4 hours.

You ever actually walk up a flight of stairs with anyone from the Olympia lineup?

No? Ok, shut up then.


No, but I've posed without the aid of Oxygen.

I'd just like someone from this thread to try a contest diet, go through the 10-12 weeks, get onstage and let some judges look at them.  I'm sure that if they went through the whole ordeal and won their weight class, and we did'nt give them the nod as being an athelete they'd be pretty pissed especially If they won the whole show.

Mr. I as a former competitor, you claim that BB is not a sport.  Is this because you are bitter about your placings?

Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinions.  Even if they feel that BB is not a sport.  My opinion is (as I have stated previously):

If BB is not a sport (which seems to be the group consensus of the posters on this thread), Then why are you all posting on a BB board?  Rather than being on a BB site and praising/supporting your favorite "athlete", Your bashing of BB on a BB website shouts:

You all are on the boards to worship male muscle.

It's even worse if you're married with kids.  As this may be you dabbling with crossing the line into homosexuality.  And like I said earlier "This is one of the biggest group self ownings in Getbig history." 

You guys are gayer than Richard Simmons dancing to Elton John.   

LOL...I'm not bitter about anything, I have either won or placed high in all my shows, I've said for the last 25+ years that bodybuilding is not a sport and there's really nothing athletic about it, the things you described above is discipline, I have quite a few clients that are not bodybuilders who train and diet just as hard (just not the depletion part which is the hardest part), but the difference between my clients and competing bodybuilders, is that they do it for their health and not a trophy.

That bodybuilding doesn't even merit being an Olympic sport while skateboarding, and snowboarding are.

::) As if many other Olympic (or other, triathlete, marathon, etc.) athletes haven't used such facilities.



They don't need pure oxygen after climbing a flight of stairs.

All one needs to be Mr. Olympia is a body that is subjectively better looking than the rest. Athletic ability is not needed for this.

 ::)  So being in the olympics classifies an activity as a sport.....OK, when was the last time you saw bowling in the olympics?  That shit is on ESPN all the time.  Last time I checked that's a sports channel.  I think I saw the arnold on there too.  Someones got to fire the program director cause they're putting non sports on a sporting network.

There are many venues of competition that are considered sports, but that doesn't mean the people who compete in them are athletes.
