Bodybuilders are Gross

[Darren Avey]

Classic class is where its at and Bobby Khan owns that class.

Whenever I'd see people look at a bodybuilder and say "that's gross", or whatever, it didn't make sense to me.

I got out of following bodybuilding awhile ago, just stuck with hardcore sports like pro football and MMA.

I don't even know who won the last couple Mr. Olympias; however earlier today it happened.  

I'm scrolling through my newsfeed and a picture of Phil Heath pops up on some ad and honest to God the first thought I had was "GROSS".

I now understand, or at least being away from the bodybuilding scene desensitized me to the stupidity of bodybuilding.  Who the hell would want to look like that?!?






Oh boy i dont even know where to begin with this reject.So now you want us to believe you are now wise and enlightend.You tried bodybuilding because you admired the body's the pros possesed.You did a few local shows and soon discoverd it wasnt in the cards.Still trying to overcome your insecurities as a man, you try MMA.You compete in small competitions maybe even do ok..In MMA its good enough to consider youself an MMA athlete,unlike B.B. if you dont make the pros, your a failure.Now you have MMA to prove everyone your a man.So you lash out atB.B. not becouse its gross but because you failed at it.

You don't even have to be huge. If it's obvious you work out, sometimes people are just grossed out by your vascularity.



I'm not that big.... anymore.....but I have extremely low bodyfat and my arms are very veiny. Someone always says something, usually at a checkout counter... they don't really know what to think or what the implications are of what they are seeing...


They might say "why do you have so many veins?".... like they don't..


It's just not an everyday thing to see fit people, especially extremely fit people... and even more rare to see someone humungous and fit... not perma-bulked. Nobody really seems to look twice at permabulkers. I guess that would be considered more "common" almost like looking at a borderline fat person... which is the norm

No I agree. We're all desensitized to it. It looks laughable.

Especially the legs. Makes short guys look even shorter with midget proportions.

Not to mention the stomach. Not even the most hardcore fans like the guts

From a sane person's perspective it looks absolutely ridiculous. Not respectable and very unsophisticated.

This is a superb upper body.

2nd at the Olympia.

Plus he has good legs. HE is the most complete MP guy.

[wild willie]

Physique division is where it's at!
I wouldn't go so far as to say "bodybuilders are gross" etc but I agree the modern bodybuilding look today is totally gross.
Also its all relative to the individual.

Pretty sure not many people would say, Paris, or Zane, or Labarada or Arnold were "gross" back in the day, far from it.
So what's the difference?
Too much mass, not enough symmetry or proportions, monster distended bellies and watery GH look is what most people don't like. 

no no no......the hell with physique division.......people need to train for the paris.....arnie.....labr ada look.....and bbing would be much better off.......physique division is a complete joke.......I wouldn't pay a dime to see that nonsense.

Your right and he should have won. Crazy taper.

Looks like an old school bodybuilder.

That's an insult to these guys..

[WalterWhite]

I'm mainly referring to the taper and shredded condition.  He's not training for bb but certainly has a Zane like look.  The physique guys seem to be getting bigger.

He has the conditioning, but his structure isn't that good (lack of thickness, separation, the absence of peaked biceps & a pencil neck)

Then 90% of the posters here would be gone because it seems this is the general consensus about modern steroid freaks.

Blow me like the schmoe you are.

[The_Hammer]

Ok, so it's been another 2 years and bodybuilding is even more gross and homosexual to me.

An activity solely based on steroids and looking at yourself in the mirror.
