My Son Just Asked Me..

[Straw Man]

As much as I appreciate the humor - photos of Coach and Dr. John Berrardi are not funny...
One thing I'll give it to Coach is: he probably had more girls in his life than 10 of you guys attacking him...

Since when are failed marriages something to brag about?

a bodybuilder is an athlete

A kid wakes up and does 50 pushups every morning.  Is he an athlete?

If not, you have an awfully wide gray area there.

A person who 'trains' isn't automatically an athlete. 

A bodybuilder does 20 sets for chest, so he's an athlete...
A kid goes 30 pushups every morning, yet he's not.

Where do you draw the line?

you're a bad father 

In Canada, you can't teach your children your personal political views unless they are approved by the state.  If Joe lived here, he might have his kids taken away from him:

Straw, joeloco needs to be stroked. leave him alone !

I was actually trying to help him.

The guy is his own worst enemy

Calm down there Gloria, maybe now you wont feel so left out.

I never thought I'd see the day where Milos would vouch for me. But a below average trainer?? C'mon now Milos!!

Would that make competitive beauty pageants a sport?

where is the physical exertion?

[The Coach]

Sorry Earl, but they train too. The difference between beauty pageant contestants and figure competitors is that the beauty contestants arn't on the verge of having man hands and man faces.

[G o a t b o y]

E

Actually, the beauty pageant "talent segment" often involves far more physical exertion than "posing".  If you insist that "oiled men in thongs" is a sport, there's no way you can say beauty pageants aren't, because they're pretty much the same thing.

what does the talent segment normally consist of?

flex all of your muscles simultaneously as hard as you can for the next 2 minutes and tell me how you feel

You don't flex for 2 minutes straight.........where did you get that from?

[knny187]

Whats your son think of his mom?

[body88]

I don't disagree with much of what you say. However, in my opinion, a bodybuilder is an athlete (in his training, not his competing).

And to suggest a beauty pageant competitor trains as hard, anaerobically, as a bodybuilder (most, anyway) is ridiculous.

I see your point....But, I can't get over one thing: An NFL player trains really hard in the weight room, diets, studies and still partakes in the athletic competition that is an NFL game every Sunday. Imo, that is a true athlete. I am not trying to put down bb's - ( they work very hard), but all they do is eat sleep and lift.

I know my pageant point is a bit out there, but is it really that off? A 115 lb woman training and dieting her ass off, is working as hard as she can. She may not have huge muscles, but the same effort is there, IMO. She may not move huge pundages, but she busts her ass as best she can. Just how I see it of course.

One thing I'll give it to Coach is: he probably had more girls in his life than 10 of you guys attacking him...and I know that Dr John Berrardi had some of the finest women as well...While Coach could be many things - he is certainly not gay...(as certain as he is bellow average trainer and a bodybuilder...but nevertheless..)

I don't think enough people caught the massive ownage in this "defense" of The Coach and his lover.
