bodybuilders jumping the boat. mma new craze

[Parker]

Insecure young men have always flocked to bodybuilding.  Now insecure young men are getting into MMA.  During the eighties bodybuilding gyms were packed with guys.  Now the gyms seem to be 60% female and 40% male by me. 

If you really wanted to be a alpha male would you be injecting steroids, insulin, GH and oil injection to find out you couldn't kick a 150lbs. guy's ass?

When I see guys on this board make fun of a a guy's physique who is obviously in incredible shape it makes me laugh.  If they don't have steroid bloated muscles they disapprove.  What do you think would happen if no one knew GSP and he put on a pair of posing trunks?  The guys here would say his physique is terrible.  Here is one of the best conditioned athletes in the world.
 

I've said this numerous times when this subject comes up. Mma and Bbing cater to the same crowd, insecure young men. Right now, more guys getting into MMA because they are seeking definition---it's look down on that men achieve greatness thru business, and conquests...now any "male" aspect is looked down upon by a society that wants to promote women at the cost of downgrading manly attributes.
Also, as one teacher had said in the Washington Post, women and Asians have the math and sciences, blacks have the sports, so what do young white males have? Out of frustration they are seeking identity, and men seek identity thru fighting...it's the last bastion of manliness.

seems people have grown tired of bb.

it was groving in popularity from the 70's to early 2000's i think

now I guess it's all been seen and done and everyone knows it's mostly a drug game. even the general public knows it.

more and more seems to be jumping the boat for mma.

The Coach is your man if you want to do MMA, pm him for more info.

Or G4P. He knows his stuff.

I'm a pacifist. If the only choices were MMA or G4P, I'd pick the latter. Guess I'll just stick to bodybuilding.

There's nothing shameful about G4P. Well, not much at least.

I didn't say there was, but to try to link the coach to g4p is not right, is a family man working hard and nice guy.

Beg to differ.....Manny Pacquaio in boxing would beat the shit out of a 240lb man.

no he would not....
look at k1 max, almost all of the fights go in to the final round.
hardly a ko.... sometimes... their punches lack power..
weight is what produces most of the power in a punch, using your weight correctly.
look at the k1 heavyweights, these guys can knock eachother down with 1 punch!
you hardly see that in the max division.
also the lowkick has faaaar more power if you are a heavyweight.

k1 max and lighter weight boxing-kickboxing-mma is more technical, but i prefer the knockout power of the big boys....
