Bodybuilders = Athletes

If that makes your little hypermasculine heart feel better.

You could think of posing as a slow dance at a dance competition.

Or slow ice skating routine at an ice skating competition.

Ice Skating is a sport and they are athletes, Ice Skaters possess all of the attributes of REAL athletes.

[The Coach]

superior posing skills

AAAaaaaahahahahahahahaha ..........you're joking right??

Seriously, is that your rebuttal?

Bodybuilding is a sport and they are athletes, Bodybuilders possess all of the attributes of REAL athletes.


 

I guess the old adage of dumb physical trainer applies here.

Tell you what, find any pro bodybuilder at Milo's gym (since you seem to know everyone) bring him to one of my camps, if he can last one day I'll put up a grand......and to make it easy, they can go against my high schoolers!!

I thought bodybuilders were mirror athletes!

See, there you go again. Stupid rebuttal.

Tell you what, find any pro golfer at Pebblebeach, bring him to one of my camps, if he can last one day I'll put up a grand......and to make it easy, they can go against my high schoolers!!

What happened at this Olympia.  Did they do something different than all the others.  DId they mix in some type of "ATHLETIC" competition.  Just wondering

Don't know golfers at pebble beach, besides, this isn't about Golfers (read the title of the thread) it's wether bodybuilder are athletes!!

Yeah, see, if I have to explain myself to you then that defeats the purpose of the exercise. If you can't figure it out yourself, then I've won.

Clearly this debate is over.

I won.

Thank you. Please tip your waiter.

It is about golfers ,I hate when they call golfers athletes (Tiger Wood ,world's best paid athlete)They are not athletes ,just like bodybuilders aren't.

No, not really, when a pro can come to one of my camps (or any camp) and I put them through ONE DAY of proving that they can handle strength, agility and CONDITIONING then you've one. This debate clearly cannot be settled on this or any board. As a matter of fact, I might be able to arrange Tony Gonzalez (a real athlete) to come down just so he can get some laughs in, I'm sure he'd get a kick out of it!!

As much as I hate to admit it, yes, skating is a sport. As gay as their routines may appear, they do require athleticism.......

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!


Old man made a funny!

[pobrecito]

According to Yates, bodybuilders are athletes

[Cleanest Natural]

For starters I wanna state that I had a brief afair with professional tennis so I'm somewhat qualified to cast an opp on athletics. Can any of u numnuts explain me how a bodybuilder who benches 400 for reps, squats 5-600 lbs for reps, and deadlifts 5-600lbs is not an athelete? besides displaying their work on stage did u forget what happened in the gym?...So before u start explaining how u were juve camp record setters or highschool superstars , sit tight and take it from me...bb is as much an athletic endeavour as any other sport, sometimes even more so. Golf is more of a game like bowling, darts or pool.

1. You don't need to bench 400 for reps or squat 5-600lbs to play tennis.

2. I wasn't talking about strength I was talking about the size of a bodybuilder who might be 5'10 and 280 lbs.

3. If you referring to yourself in your post don't.......I was talking about people who are 8 times your size.

4. I had a 2 year "affair" with professional baseball..........that makes me qualified!!

lol, you just don't get it do you? Goatboy, you're smart, would you please explain it to him? I don't have the patience to spell basic logic out for people.

 there not athletes  a regular person who goes to the gym to stay in shape isnt a athlete either the diffrence between a casual gym member and a bodybuilder is bodybuilders take large amounts of drugs, they starve themselfs to obtain single digit fat %, with a few exceptions dont have jobs, many do g4p, stand infront of a few people in a thong and flex,

haha, you guys distinguish an athlete by the fact that they do/do not do g4p? have a job? starve themselves? and/or stand in front of a few people in a thong and flex?

haha, monster logic 

I think we're playing with the lesser half of the gene pool in this thread. lol.
