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.
