Bodybuilding is not a sport.

BB is a sport!!!

bodybuilding = sport

that = fact

[J Grey]

No.  Competitors are judged on looks not athletic skill.  Pageant.

The one with the "best looking" muscles (by whatever judging criteria they are using) does.  It is the APPEARANCE of the muscles that is being judged, not some activity.  That makes it a pageant, not a sport.

Thank you for the amazing revelation goatboy. I now see the light.... wtf am i doing. Time to become a doctor. Goodbye bodybuilding world.

why are you on this website 

Because I like to train, and I train with weights.  I have been posting her for man years, and this board is not exclusive to pro bb.  It never has been.

I agree, but I find this website funny, and it also has tons of subtopics.  I have to be a fan of pro bb to post here?

If I had to choose between my favorite sport BB and suckin on a set of lucious titties I'm gonna BB everytime.

I'd rather mow lawns, paint houses, and huff paint like our resident schizo.

Be a doctor or be a BB?   Real tough one here.   BB!!

You're right.  I was a fan when I started to post here years ago, then when I learned more about it, I was turned off by the industry.  I think bb's are to be respected for what they do, but I don't think they are athletes.  You're right though, we need to agree to disagree on this one my friend.

Being a doctor is a hobby, being a BB is a lifestyle.

where is the physical exertion in truck driving?

where is the physical exertion in truck driving?

Working the double clutch, steering a large wheel without power steering and changing gears for hours and hours with no rest. Since there is a deadline, truckers are competing to deliver their orders first.

Unlike flexing, not everyone can do what these truck drivers do.

something that can be done for hours and hours without rest can't be that physically taxing

Not true, thats why they are athletes.  And as you said before, just because one sport is easier than another, it does not disqualify that activity from being a sport.  You are contradicting yourself.  A basketball game is much more taxing than posing on a bb stage, but you argue that bb is a sport.

Earl-  If you want to put a bunch of oiled man in thongs on a stage, and have them do bench presses, and the one who lifts the heaviest weight or does the most reps wins, THEN it's a sport. If you wanna have a bunch of oiled men in thongs run a 100-meter dash, and the one who runs it the fastest wins, THEN it's a sport.  But if you wanna put a bunch of oiled men in thongs on a stage and judge them on how their muscles LOOK, then it's not a sport, it's a pageant.

Hope this helps!

it's a sport, the media agrees with me
