Questions for Bob Chick (Bodybuilding/Olympics)

[LatsMcGee]

They have athletic competitions in the Olympics,  they call them sports.  Bodybuilding isn't one of these things.

Isn't Bob the "Athletes Rep"...... Athletes - athletic - olympics

In regards to natural competitions :

Natural bodybuilding is a great thing and gives you a healthy, strong and fit body BUT natural competitions are boring.

I don't want to see some fit but small guys and pay money for it - nothing impressive about a natural esp. when put under stage lighting.
No wow-factor , nothing .. I've seen bodies like that a hundred times before and see a better one every time I look in the mirror so why would I pay for that ?
On the other hand IFBB pros are huge , impressive and you don't see that kind of muscularity very often. Even if you're a juiced up gymrat you're not close to that size - it's something special to be that big and it is what the fans of bodybuilding want to see.

That's just my opinion about REAL natural shows - of course Musclemania and co. don't count as people competing in those are about as natural as most NPC and IFBB competitors.

True natural at 6-7% bf will look small and stringy on stage - there might be some exceptions to that but certainly not enough to fill a contest.

I think that Darts has a better of chance of being an Olympic sport! it displays  more athletic ability than BB, has 1000% larger fan base, and the competitors are more respected.

Why would you want the male version of the Miss. America pageant in the Olympics?

That's why the internet is so great for these guys.  Back in our day someone talk shit about you at sometime you are going to see the guy.  No one used fake names or used the telephone to threaten you.  Someone talk shit about you, one of your friends tells you and you go find the guy.  The internet has spawned a new breed of bad ass.
