Football players are athletes and they need oxygen on the sidelines too....

Markus Ruhl is not athletic, this I am pretty confident of.

Shawn probably was.  Kevin Levrone could run pretty fast (could you imagine him chasing you down on cycle?).  Some other bodybuilders have also proven to be quite athletic.

But you do not NEED to be athletic to be a bodybuilder any more than you NEED to be strong.  Sometimes they go together, other times they do not.

So in general, I would say no, bodybuilders are not athletes.  Exceptions do exist of course, as listed above.

Yes, but just because 'an athlete' uses oxygen, does not mean they are not an athlete....(which seems to be the point of your thread ???)

My guess is he's using the oxygen because he either just got done with a 3 minute posing routein or a 3-5min posedown. My point? Oxygen after posing? Thats pathetic.

How many sports/(whatever you call bodybuilding) are there where athletes are at around 2-3% bodyfat and missing many essential nutrients/water....and are then asked to do some sort of an activity?....fatigue is only natural....

Yup....lots of heavyweights at 300 pounds....like Ronnie at 2-3% bodyfat....  ::)


In addition, wrestlers have time to eat (after they weigh in), and load up on water and carbs before they wrestle.  Bodybuilders cannot do this.....

I'd love to see any football player get down to 2% bodyfat, go on diuretics for a week, then cut their water out, then run down the field just once..

i agree with slyy... i think it's more of an issue of nutrition or lack thereof than athleticism.

Nice jugs on that middle age British nanny in the pic! Not sure if I saw her last on Milfhunter.com or if she went for a ride on the Bangbus.com...then again it could have been Bignaturals.com

  Agreed. But they are athletic performers. You can't be COMPLETELY unathletic if you have a 500+ lbs bench and can do 30 sets-as some pros do-in a less than one hour workout. Despite having more toxic poisons coarsing through their blood than there is in the Mississippi River, pro bodybuilders are still strong enough to easily kill the average man with their bare hands and have enough endurance to kill the average man by giving him a heart attack, if they were to compete in an endurance contest.

I tell you from that video.  If you asked 1000 people on the street if you would rather look like Ronnie Coleman Mr Olympia the best body in the world or be able to do what that kid does I guarantee you 950+ people would pick that kid.  That was awesome.  That kid has a future if he moved to LA.

I do kids bootcamp 3 times a week , and I do sprints with them, run drills...and core training with them.
I can keep up with any 19 yr old, and i'm 39.

I play fast pitch BASEBALL for 6 weeks every summer, and flag football from Dec to the middle of Feb.

I think if you keep at it, you dont loose it...some guys just lift and are scared to do anything else.
