No, not a sport.

You should talk to Mr. Intenseone about this. He's an expert on this, plus as an added bonus he can shoulder presses 60 lb dumbells with second to none mind muscle connection.

BULLSHIIT!!!

BB IS an art form or a lifestyle...it is NOT an athletic event...and this has nothing to do with the fact that many former/current competitive BBers were/are good athletes!

HAHAHAHAHA!

Back to discussion topic................... sport no.

Art - maybe

Cult activity - no doubt

Hobby - sure

Lifestyle - yep (and not the gay lifestyle, but the eating, training parts of it)
