Of course they are judged on posing ability. So many good bodybuilders lose out because they cant pose well enough. A bodybuilder who can pose well can move ahead because of thier presentation.
It is no good having a good physique if you cant pose and the posing routine is judged in our federation so you need to be able to do a good routine as well.
Croach every sport is reliant on genetics to get to the top so your argument is wrong.
Armz not if you are natural couldnt do all that cardio and maintain muscle. Need to train no drugs to help growth. Also the amount of cardio might indcrease before a show but it takes years of training to achieve any muscle mass. Most top naturals have been training for years

Give me one instance in the past 10 years where a competitor has lost out in a major competition due to not being able to pose well as the judged stated.

Lets put things in prospective. I GUARANTY any gymnast can hold a pose for 5 seconds and I also GUARANTY a bodybuilder COULD NOT hold a ironcross to save his life!  Sorry dude, but that was a bad analogy!


And I can kick a ball in a net.. doesn't mean I'll be a pro soccer player..

Sorry dude but 5 secs that would be a joy. I have been on stage for an hour posing. Hey and a bit training maybe  I could do a ironcross. How many gymnasts can squat 140kg for reps at a bodyweight of 60kg it is all relative.
Jonny I have judged a lot of competitions including our British championships and I could see that a competitor had a good physique when they walked on stage but when they started posing they lost out because they did not show what they have got. I can only comment on competitions I have judged or competed in. I even know that when I did my first pro show I was lacking expercience and some of my poses where not as good as some of the more experienced pros and yes i think it held me back.

What exactly does that prove?

Anyone can write a wikipedia article; it's hardly authoritative.  Hell, you could have written that.

But, since it obviously means so much to you:  "Yep, Earl, you sure Pwn3d us assclowns!  Well done!"   ::)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Bodybuilding is the process of developing muscle fibers through the combination of weight training, increased caloric intake, and rest. Someone who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. As a sport, called competitive bodybuilding, bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points based on their aesthetic appearance.




OUCH!!!

I've been on getbig for a month or so and I can't believe what people say about bodybuilding and this is a bodybuilding site. I'd hate to see how your everyday people view this SPORT. The people that don't think it's a SPORT are probably the guys that didn't make it or cant make it as a successful bodybuilder or their girls left them for a bodybuilder.

Yes. There is competition, winners and losers. Judges act like referees. Just cause there ain't no ball, doesn't mean it's not a sport.

That such a question is asked and debated endlessly proves it is not a sport.

It's not a sport. It does not fit the definition of a sport. Stop refering to it as a sport you fool.


I KNOW IT'S NOT A SPORT, what the hell do you think Earl and I have been arguing about for the last 2 freaking years. And here's another one......BODYBUILDERS ARE NOT ATHLETES EITHER. What part of my post did you not comprehend??

Bowlers are athletes, golfers are athletes but bodybuilders don't look very athletic at all, so maybe you're right..

Going by dictionary definitions, bodybuilding fits the label of athletic sport.  It just sucks that it has to be judged.  Look at boxing.

First, if it was a sport there would be no point of this thread. What does Ronnie Coleman physically do that warrants him being "Mr. Olympia"?? What can he DO that I cannott???

Wikipedia is not an authority. It's edited by everyday people.

The fact of the matter is simple,I posted the dictionary definition of "Sport" and Bodybuilding does NOT fit that definition for many reasons.

End of debate.
