Bodybuilding is a joke

[IroNat]

As much a sport as Darts / Dominoes / Synchronised Swimming & a whole lot of
other activities & pastimes labeled sport.

How about Tiddly Winks?

All those games (minus swimming) have objective winners.  Bodybuilding is subjective with judges making it a pageant.

I say this not to downplay bodybuilding. It's definitely tough but the subjectivity makes it a pageant.

Gymnastics has subjective judging.

[Cook]

Gymnastics has subjective judging.

As does bull riding. I think it is a sport.

[Wiggs]

Gymnastics has subjective judging and judges.

You're right but there's alot more objectivity in gymnastics vs. bodybuilding.  You don't hear it's apples vs. oranges in gymnastics.  Though there's subjectivity, there's a greater deal of objectivity vs bodybuilding. From the 70s to now, gymnastics judging is consistent and not that controversial.  You definitely can't say that about bodybuilding and that's because the level of subjectivity. 

Same for Pro Bull Riding and Synchronised Swimming.

I believe you'll find plenty of "bad" decisions & controversy in all
sports that are judged subjectively

Not like bodybuilding. It's by far #1

This is true for the show. The actual 'sport' or 'competition' in bodybuilding is the training and dedication to diet in the lead up to the show.

You could say Dorian , Ronnie, Jay won their contests before the day of the show.

So how do you know how much gear he is on? Did he tell you? Are we going to pretend you built your physique on 300mg?

You guys also keep saying I am on 2g a gear at no time in the last 3 years have I even approached that

It’s just that your body doesn’t respond well, you are hindered by ailments, might as well die and hope you get reborn with a new body

the real judging is determined near the ice machine

Yeah yeah yeah
If you say so. 

[IroNat]

Pissing contests on Getbig are not decided by subjective judging.

Too much bad karma for that to happen. He might return as a cockroach.

[oldgolds]

For the show in 2021 I took 500mg a week for 8 weeks. Prior to that I was at 350mg. Currently I am at about 400mg no HGH and feeling great. I do plan to add back HGH for the first time in years soon probably around 4iu a day. But everyone just assumes 6g so why argue about it.  You don't get a cookie for being on 0,100mg or 10g it doesn't matter either way

See how sick the whole thing is ?
Na-na...I'm taking less than you...
This is insane..Why not eliminate weight classes and just have classes for different amounts of drugs?

[MAXX]

It's a sport if you realize that the sport is also a competition in drug utilization. Who has the best drug coctail is a factor if you want to compete at high level.

And if you accept that it is based on an objective criteria BUT a subjective selection of that criteria i.e. what criteria outweighs what. Like Mass vs Defenition vs propotions/balance vs presentation. That is subjectively based. Who can say what is more important than the other and who can judge that objectively unless you have some sort of point system for each of that criteria, then maybe you could work something objectively based out of the judging aspect.

[bhank]

The biggest difference is bodybuilding is a full time 24/7 year round lifestyle that is what makes it so much harder than anything else

And you're dumb enough to believe no other sports or activities
take PED's - 

Yep there is 1 born every minute, it's true.

Why do BB always come up with that crap? U think a professional Basketball or Baseball player doesn't have to train, pay attention to his diet and rest?

According to most BB an athlete from any other sport has to exercise for maybe 1 or 2 hours a day and after that goes to KFC and binge drinks at the club every night while being on top of his game lol

[mops]

The promoters took the "taping a note to someone's back" prank to another level here.

Dude you had to drop 50lbs to get to 20% body fat ( I bet you are closer to 30) I have never even been 20% body fat. how do you not see the difference??

Absolutely pro basketball and baseball players take off months every year. I have barely had a drink in the last 20. I had maybe 2 drinks total in 2023? I haven't been to a nightclub in a decade. It is a lifestyle.

Tell it to my face that this is a joke:
