Are bodybuilders "athletes"?

[FREAKgeek]

LMAO @ doc and danielson getting in some early morning destruction of tiny titted twinks.

Another confused asshole who hasn't figured out the point of this site.

[FREAKgeek]

Those pics are basically porn to them on some gay or bi-curious level.

It's like when we straight men look at chicks in bikinis, only they have oiled men in thongs. It also fully explains why really skinny chicks are so attractive to them.

 You basically insult every straight guy in here whos been to an expo or show or actually cares about BB'ing. Maybe there are gay people in here doing what you describe, but it's not at all like that.  You are being real ignorant if you can't figure out the distinctions.

Lol, so dart thrower and billiard players are considered "athletes" to you? Now I see why you think bodybuilders are "athletes" too. And I'll mention it again: most pro bodybuilders failed at becoming a pro in a real sport and resorted to bodybuilding. I would venture to say that practically every pro bodybuilder was a sports player of some sort in high school or college and they couldn't cut the mustard, but since bodybuilding doesn't require any athleticism and that your physique is what ascends to you stardom, then it was easy for them to go that route since they may have already been training at the high school and beyond level.

i consider bodybuilders to be better athletes than billiard players and dart throwers, and so do many others

by definition they are athletes, why is that so hard to understand?

i don't understand why you keep mentioning that they failed at other sports, i get it you're another getbigger that hates bodybuilders yet you can't stop talking about them

that doesn't mean they aren't athletes, it just means they (like 99.9% of men) weren't good enough to be a pro in those sports

michael jordan failed at baseball, he would fail at bodybuilding too

you can't be great at everything

Posing is NOT an athletic performance.  Honestly why can't you get this fact.  Bodybuilding is NOT a true sport.  It is a pageant based on appearance.  How can you not admit that. 

then why do some guys pose better than others?

why do some guys look retarded when they pose?

E

[Earl1972]

It' a performance, albeit not an 'athletic' one. And apparently posing routines will no longer be scored. So the routines will just be for "entertainment" value now. What's your response to that?
 

it was more of a sport before then now if that's the case, still doesn't take away the skills involved in proper posing and the physical exertion used while holding poses

why are some of you so desperate to "prove" that pro bodybuilding is a pageant, is that really what you want it to be?  maybe bodybuilding really is mostly a gay male audience

E

[Earl1972]

according to the dictionary a pageant contestant often requires talent and personality

most of you claim bodybuilding has neither, so there goes your argument

Posing does not take much athletic performance it is more of a skill.  Some guys can dance and some guys can't.  Same thing.  Sorry man but you are getting killed with trying to prove or show BB is a sport.  You wonder when you will just give up and admit it.

competitive dancing is also considered a sport

how am i getting killed? nobody has presented a compelling argument

all i see is "it's a pageant, not a sport" and a bunch of lame excuses

So you think the point of this site is to ogle at oiled up muscle men in thongs

[Earl1972]

Earl is just here cruising for cock. No one can post here that long and not post a pic of themselves, at the very least to prove they workout. No pic+long time poster=skinny twink looking for big strong Magoos.

why do you want to see a pic of me so bad?

and if i was "cruising for cock" i would've left after seeing pics like yours

E

[Earl1972]

I really want to believe you're wrong but the Levrone obsession is gay.

dude you went to the arnold to "meet" getbiggers

E

[Earl1972]

Prancing around in a thong being judged by queers is gay, working out is not. Try to keep up.

we've been over this, if you came here for "working out" you would've went to bodybuilding.com, nobody comes here for workout tips

you also admitted to being a shawn ray fan, which makes you a fan of the sport of pro bodybuilding

carry on now

So if you think danielson is unattractive, what type of guy are you looking for?

he has actually been to expos

I don't think anyone in their right mind would consider a dart throwing or billiard playing an athletic game, therefore they aren't athlete's.

by definition they are athletes, why is that so hard to understand?

By definition the skill, strength, stamina, agility, etc. is PERFORMED DURING a game or competition. I think that is where your misunderstanding is.

i don't understand why you keep mentioning that they failed at other sports, i get it you're another getbigger that hates bodybuilders yet you can't stop talking about them

I've always been a bodybuilding fan! I'm just debating that bodybuilders aren't athletes. Great at dieting, lifting and enhancing their bodies but not athletes.

that doesn't mean they aren't athletes, it just means they (like 99.9% of men) weren't good enough to be a pro in those sports

A pro in any sport is elite in that they perform feats of athleticism that the average person who tried it couldn't achieve. Pro body builders DON'T COMPETE ATHLETICALLY on stage. They DISPLAY their physiques and are judged on them. I don't think you disagree here.

michael jordan failed at baseball, he would fail at bodybuilding too

But was arguebly the greatest athletic pro basketball player on Earth. No one would ever doubt that Micahael Jordan wasn't an athlete.

[Earl1972]

So if you think danielson is unattractive, what type of guy are you looking for?

not looking for a guy

when you ask somebody what they are looking for, you are basically asking them if they like you

get lost creep!!

No competitive dancing isn't considered a sport. But the dancers are way more athletic than pro body builders. And I think I'm more than addressing what you feel are criterias for the sport, but your responses aren't strong at all.

[Earl1972]

he couldn't be a pro bodybuilder

if you are going to put down bodybuilders for not being pro at other sports, you have to do the same for others

So if you think danielson is unattractive, what type of guy are you looking for?

Probably tall guys who flip tires.

[Immortal_Technique]

Mindspin is the coolest mod ever.
You like Ron better?Praising kamali and Kovacs.

Mindspin was a bodybuilder.
He still trains, now drugfree.
How many former BB train drugfree when they retire?
Shawn? Mustafa?Romano?

Mindspin is healthy, have money, a brain, and a family.
He see the bodybuilding industry change and he
is telling us about it, no glory or covering up.

Would you rather have a zitfaced
Nasser,Weider's and Derek worshipping, bacne mod
cheering Branch When he doubles his dosage looking like a heartattack
analyzing his big striated glutes.

Mindspin is the man
The guy is too good for GB.

Disliking drug abusing g4p retards makes you
"not into bodybuilding"?

Pro bodybuilding involves drugs.

You don't like it fuck off.

[CT_Muscle]

Probably tall guys who flip tires.

with cone heads?

[polychronopolous]

some of the bodybuilding haters on here would have you believe its not the man with the best physique that wins the competition but rather the one who gives the best blowjob the night before pre judging

[Oldschool Flip]

he couldn't be a pro bodybuilder

if you are going to put down bodybuilders for not being pro at other sports, you have to do the same for others

E

I don't disagree about another pro athlete being unable to succeed in another sport that they aren't good at. Never have. The debate is whether or not a pro body builder is an "athlete". You haven't given any solid foundation, even according to your use of the dictionary term, that a body builder is one. Even the lame use as posing as the criteria for athleticism is feeble at best.

[chaos]

LOL @ earl still trying to convince people bbing is a sport.

Bbing is as much of a sport as the Miss America pageant.

As a matter of fact, I'd say it takes more talent to compete for Miss America since they have to give some gay speach.

hahahahha Could you imagine Ronnie being judged for his answer on why he would make the best Mr Olympia?
