Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends - Bodybuilding - Documentary

[Chick]

Strange, this forum shows alot of people displeased with the state of bodybuilding.So you are bascially saying that because bodybuilding is a fringe "sport" that you can neglect your duties as a representative and not give a shit about the fans.Again, why do you still have this "role"?

Are you counting yourself as a "fan" of bodybuilding?

Your posting history would dispute that...thus my point

I never claimed to be, most people who had a mild interest in Bodybuilding then found out more soon became non fans due to people like yourself not cleaning it up.Hey as long as the cheques keep coming right?

So you had a mild interest, found out the dirty under belly of the sport, now have no interest....yet spend countless hours on a bodybuilding forum, now obsessed with gay, G4P, schmoes, etc...the very thing you allegedly despise??

Anyone have Dr. Phil's number?

Exactly. Very strange how the haters of bodybuilding come to this site and spend all this time obsessing over the negatives of  bodybuilding. There is obviously more deep seeded issues at hand....On a side note, didn't know Guy Grundy had such a bad lisp when pronouncing anything with an S in it. Outed?

The problem we have is that Bob considers himself quite intelligent. Thus, he deems himself excellent at debating and he feels entitled to enjoy the rewards of being the spokesman for the muscleheads.

When it comes to this forum, hapless Bob is quite pedestrian and fumbles and stumbles along quite oblivious of any shortcomings. In that regard he resembles his supporter Vince G CSN MFT.

Good for anyone who can earn a living from this sport. If a requirement is getting along with those who run the sport as well as the sponsors then Bob knows who to befriend and be loyal to. You really have to wonder about the quality of musclemen when you consider that Bob C is representing them. What a sham that setup is yet he persists in this stupid position because it gives him standing. So Bob is no fool but the sport sure sucks.

I wonder who is advising him to post the way he does? He has lost the plot long ago and is making enemies daily on line.

Nice to see Basille posting on here more frequently. That means there are less children being photographed without their knowledge.

For the most part, bodybuilding is like any other sport - a majority of it is people who like to bodybuilding, enjoy the business, get contracts, endorsements, and more.   And the small minority goes into all other aspects.  How funny that some of you still obsess over the minority and its unsavory dealings.

Welcome to the world.  I think some of you are just in your own bubble, hating on bodybuilding whenever you can.  Have you even been outside? Have you ever even looked at other sports, at the movie, television industry?

Each industry, each sport - has its own unsavory aspects.  From various stories I have heard, bodybuilding is more out there because of the notion of 'steroids' and 'roid rage' and it sounds good.  Yes, there are stories and people who do that, but... that happens in many sports and many industries.

Get over it. 

For every negative of bodybuilding, there are many positives.  Millions of people work out, try to get in shape - simple as that.

Explain to me which part doesnt make sense.

Well let's just take one part of the documentary, women doing private sessions, you honestly think that at least half the women competitors haven't done one? That's akin to half the NFL being male escorts while not playing, your delusion about your "sport" is frightening.

You suggest that 'half' the women competitors have done a session. 

You then say it's like 'half the NFL being male escorts', which would be an absurd claim.

So, yes or no, are you trying to say that approximately 'half' of women who compete have done a 'session'?

[Howard]

Howie...people have to CARE in the first place in order for there to be a "scandel"...BB isnt high enough on the food chain for people to give a shit either way.

Ok Bob, I didn't want to go there but since you insist nobody cares let me give an example and see if you think I am wrong.

Imagine if the "grapefruits/bondage " pics of Kai Green , 2 time Arnold Classic champ were released to some sleezy tabloid magazine.  While not too many avg joe's know about Kai, they all know Arnold, the move star and current Gov of Cal. You have the victory pic of Arnold and Kai on stage together and it blows up from there.

Now, considering that the public went wacky over Tiger Woods hooking up with some hot adult woman, imagine how they would react if they knew the questionable background of the current 2 time ARNOLD classic champ.  I think you get my pt.

All true Ron but let me ask you, how did the public react when it got info on sex and steroid scandels of various athletes....OUTRAGE and pissed off .

vince Bob is a good guy that is in a world of folks that inolves illegal drug use to win and do well, plus all the other crap. Bob is in a tough spot in his position.

magine if the "grapefruits/bondage " pics of Kai Green , 2 time Arnold Classic champ were released to some sleezy tabloid magazine.  While not too many avg joe's know about Kai, they all know Arnold, the move star and current Gov of Cal.

First, the grapefruit act was when Kai is a stripper, making thousands for a night in front of screaming women. Such is life. Kai does not do that now, and it was good money when he needed it. If Kai was doing any of that now, it would be a different story. But he isnt. What occurred in the past is in the past.  You gonna haunt him for the rest of his life.  He didnt molest anyone, he didnt hurt anyone, he didnt defraud anyone, so frankly - who cares.  I would care more if he was a violent or a criminal who hurt people than being a stripped in his past life. Wow.

All true Ron but let me ask you, how did the public react when it got info on sex and steroid scandels of various athletes....OUTRAGE and pissed off

It got into the sex and scandals of various athletes because they were MARRIED! If they were single, then it wouldnt be a big story.

It may not get much fanfare, but this is easily one of the best ongoing feuds in the online bodybuilding community.

 

[affeman]

I really dont care enough to watch any of it...there are freaks and weirdo's in every facet of life...get used to it.

Dude, I hope you don't wanna deny that the BB scene attracts proportionally more freaks and weirdo's than most other facets of life, do you??

Ron , as you may realize already, I could care less about any personal sexual activity of any kind myself.
It is the general public that gets all worked up over kind of sex scandel. aka sex sells.
But c'mon Ron saying Kai did this in a room of woman is well ... c'mon  Plus, being married added m ay have added to the drama but I think we both know Tiger's antics were big news regadless.

"bodybuilding" catters to homosexuals and psychologically insecure people who need to overcompenste for their shortcomings.

Physical conditionning also catters to homosexuals and psychologically insecure people who need to overcompenste for their shortcomings but to normal people looking to learn healthy habits too.

I am going to give Bob credit for doing things the right way and he provides a good example of how a pro BB should behave and act in public. Obviously, he knows what is going  BUT Bob isn't the "code of conduct police " for the IFBB.
He does his best to make BB look good, which ain't easy hehehe.

I disagree on this. Granted, a % of actual pro BB ,both male and female get inolved in some questionable behavior.
BUT, the vast majority of fans gym members are NOT involved in this crap.
The sad reality is that those who are actual top male/female bodybuilders seem to be directly involved with this.
It is also a well known fact that 99.99% of every top pro is juiced to the gills on illegal banned subtances.

I used to say I wasa competitive bodybuilder

now I just say yeah ...I lifted

outof shame

Why did you lie?

[EL Mariachi]

did you hear that beast Maria? she gets pissed off when someone adresses her as ''''sorry sir'' in the groceries-store. hahaha its not that they want to hert her they genuinely think its a dude. She also said '' 95% of men like females with muscles but are just shy to admit''' Fucking delusional mind with a twink husband. She looks disqusting and disturbing, only has herself to blame and not the public.

That reporter is awesome, love his show, wouldnt watch it otherwise.


Females that take drugs to look very masculine dont just do that cause they like the look, its a subconciousness thing, they were probably hit or abused by their father and now feel the need to bulk up and take charge.

I think it sad that these woman train so hard and then end up with such serious side effects it distorts their feminine look.

Why did you lie?

your english is not very good

lieing is like when you say you're straight

[bebop396]

ill watch the doc later, I'm intrigued by nefarious things, but do not judge it....Bunch of guys on here complaining about women in the bodybuilding/fitness industry getting into shady sexual things is a bit odd...What guy complains about a woman with increased sexual drive?

What is more odd then that is a bunch of guys complaining about what the minority of male bodybuilders do to pay the bills...The only ones that pay attention to that kind of stuff are hardcore fans, and I'm trying to figure out why they care?

People with nice physiques can always find the sexual niche out there in the world to pay the bills...It is nothing new and will never go away no matter how much you complain or don't like it...Question i have is why do you care so much? Are you a politician trying to make a name for yourself getting loud about something that raises eyebrows? NO...So what is the deal?

Does it bother me equally as much that you don't like it or complain about it? No, but it's an interesting topic, and fun also...
