That's because it's been proven that bodybuilding is a beauty pageant, not a sport.

the way a beauty pageant contestant presents themselves is not physical exertion like a bodybuilder

That's like saying "basketball is not a sport because it's less physically demanding than sprinting."

sorry but smiling and standing up straight is not the same physical exertion as flexing all muscles from calves to traps simulaneously as hard as you can for extended period ;)

being confident is not physically demanding

Controlling facial muscles is not a part of a bodybuilding contest. As of modern times, neither is weightlifting. Any work you do in the gym is not judged on a bodybuilding stage, as per the guidelines for winning a contest.

It seems some are still confused with bodybuilding training and bodybuilding as a competition. They are not one and the same. If they were, Ronnie would likely win every competition, with Johnny Jackson placing second. ;)

Sucking in your stomache, maintaining perfect posture, maintaining the most attractive look on your face possible, portraying desired personality, putting forth the effort and discipline necessary for rigorous pre-competition preparation including diet and training do involve achieving a physical form and expressing muscle control similar to bodybuilding. Bodybuilding is a beauty pageant.

I would agree with where you said "the same" here in bold in the quote above, but just because one sport is more physically demanding than another doesn't disqualify it as a sport altogether.

Earl smuggles sausage in his ass, from the grocery store to his apartment.

driving is not a sport, pressing a gas pedal is not physical exertion

Right, but turning that massive steering wheel, and working the double clutch is.  It's physical exertion, and under your definition, driving a truck while under deadline is a sport.

you know all the top pros, not possible without being a fan at some point

there are millions of training forums that have nothing to do with the pros, the main topic on getbig is the pros

E

You're right....I am actually more knowledgeable about bodybuilders and bodybuilding than most people on this board.....I just don't think they are athletes, and the activity become dead to me after I learned all the creepy aspects of it.

I respect how hard bb's work, but I dont think they are athletes.

Perhaps what we should be looking at is not physical "exertion," but rather the degree of physical "SKILL" utilized.

In which "posing" would be that skill?  I think that hurts your argument more than it helps it.

It's not a question as to whether it's a sport. It's a fact. I wonder why some of you are even questioning this fact, as it's clearly evident if you know anything about the judging of a bodybuilding contest.

Posing is a skill...but not an athletic one. You can learn to pose, but you can't teach athleticism. Athleticism you're born with.
