1. Bodybuilder
2.Weightlifter
3. Powerlifter
I consider myself a weightlifter because I enjoy the physiques of bodybuilders but I never desire to compete as one. I enjoy watching powerlifters but never desire to compete as one. I would like to get as big and strong as possible but also look presentable.
Many of us aspire to have great physiques. But I feel that unless you actually compete and/or have competed and have gone through at least one legit content prep and stood on stage, you can't call yourself a true bodybuilder. That is just my own personal feeling. A lot of us do everything a bodybuilder does and cut pretty damn hard as well. But to me, the dividing line is nutting up and competing. If you never compete, you're just a yoked out weightlifter on gear.
I dont mean to imply I compete because I never have and have no plans to. My physique is not that elite either.
As for powerlifters, I never got that. They look like fat slobs (most of them at least) and train for ego lifts, risking major injury and wear on tear on your body. I enjoy training. I dont want an injury to sideline me or nag at me the remainder of my life. I'd also rather look good naked. Call me shallow. Nobody cares what you bench, fatboys. Only other meatheads give a fuck.
