Lovemonkey is spot on.
How a bodybuilder can consider himself an athlete is beyond me. Lifting weights in a gym following typical bodybuilding workout routines is not very difficult, even if this has to be done twice a day. Add in the dieting come gay contest time then any man with a little bit of willpower would succeed. Being judged by ones looks and muscles is a beauty pageant and there is nothing athletic involved. Are we to assume their is skill in ones genetics to be able to respond to the bucket load of drugs these clowns take.
Bodybuilding is based on looks and the only skill involved is who has the best genetics to respond to the drugs or the best pharmaceutical advice. Anyone who thinks just because they workout hard in a gym following a bodybuilding routine makes them an athlete is deluded.
Power-lifting or strongmen are athletes however as they compete against each other on feats of strength which test skill, technique, strength and endurance as well as many other athletic traits.
Just think about how many dirty gay ass bodybuilders there could be from all the gym rats out there in the world if given the right combination of drugs. However, not many would ever have the skill or attributes to ever become a professional in most other major sports.
Brock Lesnar has shown what real training is in that video, now some gay ass thong wearing bodybuilder will show up to say how they are athletes because they show up to a gym twice a day and lift weights.
End this argument right now this whole thing is absurd, obviously this Bob Chick guy will never be able to see through his clouded biased lenses as he has spent a big proportion of his life following a particularly peculiar hobby.
