Bodybuilding is not a sport!
Just because something else that also isnt a asport is called one doesnt make it anymore of a sport either!

Bodybuilding isn't a sport???? Are you serious??? This has been beaten to death on this board so many times. Bodybuilders are some of the most dedicated athletes in the world. No other athlete puts so much into their training and nutrition. Bodybuilding contests indicate competition. Sports=competition. Bodybuilding is very much a sport. But obviously your not a bodybuilder and know nothing about the sport at all what so ever. So why are you on this board to be exact?????? ::)
-
competitive bodybuilding = male beauty pageant
Do it for health, vanity and longevity but don't try to put it in the same category as boxing or hockey.

So the Spelling Bee on ESPN the other day featured some intense "competition."
Would that be classified as a sport as well?
I just think the word "sport" entails more than just "competition"

You obviously have never competed, I guarantee that there is no pro boxer or hockey player that could diet or train like a ronnie coleman or Jay Cutler.

but at least they're not being brutally wounded like some of the people in the video clip

Captain Equipoise hit right on the head.
I've competed and I can also tell you that both hockey AND boxers train much harder than Ronnie and Jay, some boxers even have to diet to make weight!

Bodybuilders are definately athletes and the best deserve their due as much as anyone in any other sporting field - However, the huge subjective discrepency, similar to say, figure skating ;D puts it in a unique category. Coleman and others were huge but i was always partial to the "Blade's" shape. Age old arguement that is hard to settle.

There are three types of people who you will never convince that bbing is not a sport:
1) The comp. bbers themselves (because they think it makes them sound special to claim to be involved in a sport, which in their minds makes them athletes)
2) The muscle worshippers (they are so busy worshipping, they have no time to think logically and admit the truth, as it would hurt their muscle heroes' feelings)
3) The wanna be's (those who emulate their favorite bbers, even to the point of juicing for a plastic trophy at the Mr. Local Bumfuck)

I'll hae to disagree with u . Ronnie is an example for any athlete out there and I believe he is one of the most genetically gifted ATHLETES.

ronnie trains to near muscle failure, 10 months a year, 90 minutes a day, for 20 years.
You know a hockey player that trains harder? come on...

I have clients (not my athletes) who do the samething, of course not the same weight but just as hard, should they be called athletes as well?
Just because someone trains till failure doesn't make them an athlete. You've been watching too many Ronnie videos!

Coach .. I've seen plenty of detroit red wings training, especially Chris Draper who is a work horse....Coleman makes them look like they are playing.

Two different types of training, besides, I hate hockey anyway, all I'm saying is that bodybuilding requires very little to no athletic ability.

Umm.....who cares how you label it? Call it needlepoint if you want- still doesn't change the fact that it's building the body.

Hockey players, Football players etc...all train and practice very hard.
So do Bodybuilders.
These athletes have a place to showcase how their hard-work paid off, and do so by playing their respective sports.
Bodybuilders compete in an almost non-athletic event (standing and posing against one another) that doesn't take away all the hard work and preparation that went into it.
You can say that there is no "skill" or talent involved...but you'd be wrong. If no skill were involved, then everyone would have outstanding physiques in the world. Aside from willpower to train, people must know what they're doing in the gym, understand their bodies and metabolisms etc etc etc...or they become hopless skinny retards like El-Mariachi...
it's way different that what most people consider a sport.
but it's still:
1) a physical activity
2) can be competitive
3) there are professional and amateur levels
4) athletes are endorsed, and represent companies
5) they get paid prize money
* how is that NOT a sport?

boybuilding is not a sport. It is simply just what the word defines, body-building.
The mere lifting of weights to develope a certain look does not in any way resemble a sport. Bodybuilders are all about there looks.Not there athletic ability. Bodybuilding does take a lot of dedication and hard training, this however does not conclude this to be a sport.
Bodybuilding competitions are not by any means athletic. Holding poses and prancing around like a fag with tiny trunks and oil is hardly a competitive sport.
Hope this helps.............

Bodybuilding is still not a sport. This definition is not good enough to make it so. There is no way that bodybuilding should be ranked along the same lines as say....football,Baseball, hockey, soccer. Those are real sports that require talent and actual physical agility and ability. There is not one semi pro or pro bodybuilder that could exert himself on a playing field with a real sportsman without falling over in a big ball of muscle totally out of wind.

I never said bodybuilding should be mentioned along the same lines of football etc those athletes are the best of the best
regardless that doesn't mean bodybuilding is not a sport
it fits the definition of the word "sport" just because the athletes in one sport are more elite than another doesn't mean it is not a sport

Train much harder?? really? Are you a pro?? obviously not. Just cause you've competed before dosen't make you a bodybuilder either. I would love to see the top boxers in the world and the top hockey players in the world, do 2600 pound leg presses after they warmed up with over 350 pounds on leg extensions and then do 800 pound free bar squats in 110 degree heat. Every watch ronnies videos?? Oh yeah and that's just half of the workout. The only thing the hockey players and boxers would do is drop dead. Then they would have to pick up their spines from the other side of the gym. Your dreaming..... ::)

competitive bodybuilding = male beauty pageant
Do it for health, vanity and longevity but don't try to put it in the same category as boxing or hockey.
Exactly. If you think about what makes a bodybuilder a bodybuilder and what makes a fitness competitor a fitness competitor, there is little difference.
1. Both diet and exercise to have the lowest amount of fat they can for onstage.
2. Both lift weights as probably the most difficult thing they have to do. The weights aren't alive; they can't fight back or do anything different than they did the last time (nothing!).
3. The real judging for a fitness/beauty pageant and bodybuilder competition is the bathing suit round.
4. Guest posing for body builders equal T&A models at car shows.
So overall, the only difference between the two in training is the amount of weight they lift. In fact, we have bodybuilders constantly telling us it's not the amount of weight you use but the form and technique. And the amount of weight you lift isn't even judged in contests. You could say that it implicitly is judged by their body, but Jay Cutler has disproved this for years.
So the amount of weight you lift doesn't matter either in competitive bodybuilding. What's even left? Chemistry and genetics.

Like I said before this is a bodybuilding board made to be a positive forum for bodybuilding. But 90% of the bone heads here just cut it down. Go to a different board if you guys think the sport is so lame. And about the post above. There are only like 4-5 guys in the ufc that make more than 50 000 a fight. Most are fighting for like 4000-5000 grand!! So trust me 95% of the UFC athlete have nothing in there bank accounts either. So I guess they aren't a TRUE PROFESSIONAL SPORT either. I find all the hate for bodybuilding on this board so funny. Yet all these morons still post on here. ::)

No, actually this is a board for Gossip & Opinion. If you go to the main board index and look directly below this board, you'll find one called "Bodybuilding Fans & Friends". That is the board that was set up for bodybuilding fans to talk "positively" about the sport, and it is heavily moderated to keep it positive.
So people have a choice: they can post on G&O and deal with some negativity, or post on "Fans & Friends" and have it all positive about the "sport".
Guess where people overwhelmingly choose to post? That's right, G&O! (yet they'll still bitch about the "negativity" on here ::))

It's seems like most people in this industry have sold their souls, along with their ethics, morals, character and dignity. I love how they will defend their chosen path, as if they are accomplishing something worth bragging about. ::)
I totally agree. I can't help but pity anyone who pursues a career in this business. Good for those who make it, tough luck for anyone who chases the dream with a blindfold on...

it's a beauty pageant

competitive bodybuilding = male beauty pageant
Do it for health, vanity and longevity but don't try to put it in the same category as boxing or hockey.

reality and the dictionary are 2 different things. Noah Webster would laugh at pro bodybuilding.

WOW this is a very interesting thread.. I never seen this topic discussed before ::)

Captain Equipoise hit right on the head.
I've competed and I can also tell you that both hockey AND boxers train much harder than Ronnie and Jay, some boxers even have to diet to make weight!
i don't agree. bbers train hard. doing cardio on an empty stomach. training hungry. waking up hungry. going to bed hungry. a competitive bber is a very disciplined and work very hard. bbing is one of the toughest things a person can do in my opinion

I don't think anyone here is denying that bbing is tough. It is just not a sport.....

Your talking about discipline as compared to training, cardio on an empty stomach is not smart nor effective and again, the hunger part is discipline not training harder, as a matter of fact training the last few weeks before a show is just basically going through the motions, it's not productive training simply because you are too drained to be productive.

Exactly, like I've said a hundred times, it's a male version of Miss Universe, without the talent section...

I've read what Milos does... and it really sounds like you're hurting more than you should be. I dont know if its overdieting or what, but you'll be starving for a long time now.

What Milos does and what I do are obviously two different things and again, two different philosophys, I don't agree with Milos and Milos don't agree with me. Again, look at today current conditioning and look at "yesterdays" conditioning......
This is an example of "yesterdays" conditioning or old school from 1981, if this is the results of "hurting" well...then I'm hurting....

Even thought Milos will never say the actual amounts of insulin he recommends, I know for a fact what he recommends will seriously damage organs and jack up your endocrine system worse than any steriod.

Bodybuilding is a corporation and only those who run the shit make millions. They're just like most politicians. They simply don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves. More for them less for everyone else. The Wieders suck the devil's cock on a daily basis.
u are on the money there
