i wouldnt call bodybuilding a sport, cuz its a life style. much more complex and time consuming and intricate and costly than any sport.

Bodybuilding is a drug habit. (Take the drugs, feed the ego = ADDICTION)
Bodybuilding is a charade.
Bodybuilding is drugs, oil, thongs, perverts, and obsession with masculinity.

You know, there is such thing as simultaneously seeking and finding "truth." ;)
The pursuit of truth. ("Seeking" should be endless.)

= denial of facts = denial of reality = mostly accurate ;)
(I can see what you're getting at, openmindedness is what allows continued learning, the assumption of definate truth equals close-mindedness, but I believe what I stated about seeking and finding equals truth.)
-
seeking and finding equals truth.
please expand on this if you could ... i dont know if i quite get what your getting at
-

The pursuit of truth. ("Seeking" should be endless.)
if you are still seeking once getting to a certain point of consciousness then you are still in the process of obtaining further truths suggesting your previous comprehension of truth may not necessarily be correct at any point in time
so tbombz quote still stands

are you all this bored?

The point is, you should always continue to consider that there may be alternative courses with anything. Alternative courses of action, alternative ways in which things may work, alternative ways of doing things, etc... if you view the world as if everything is at least possible, you will learn far, far more than accepting "truth" then closing your mind off from all other possiblities.
(Again, I agree with his statement for the most part, BUT, I also believe in progress and the fact that a definate REALITY is what makes progress possible.)

whats wrong with doing it for vanity reasons? it will never let you down.
and you have to admit - the workouts are satisfying.
haha holy shit that picture of ron and melissa is great
james001 couldn't agree more my friend, at the end of the day whilst your rewards from your efforts will differ from person to person they will still be there. For most this is maintenance of what they already have but for others there are improvements and this can bring satisfaction along with the rewarding workouts.

Wow, I agree with you. As far as the competitive side of it goes.....
For me, personally, bbing is a lifestyle. A challenge I can meet head on, daily. No drugs, no thongs for me. Personally, I trhink its a great pastime/hobby, when kept in perspective.

the only problem with that is that then you can never look like a bodybuilder
then the people around you may think you are a failure at your hobby when in fact you work very hard at it

...So I guess the question is, "Is bodybuilding an athletic activity?"
I'd say it certainly does fulfill the skill or physical prowess requirement.
(Knowing what to build up, how to do it, how to pose effectively, etc...)

That is what they hire "gurus" for. The act of bodybuilding is a physical activity, the act of posing onstage for men oiled up in a thong.......is gay.

I see what you're saying, and I agree. You're talking about the action of building your body, not the showing it off part.

Yes, bodybuilding with drugs and bodybuilding without are far different.
With drugs, gains come more quickly, but are temporary and training is higher volume and more frequent than without.
Without, gains come more gradually, but are fairly permanent and training is less volume and less frequent than with.
(This is assuming both are training with high intensity, of course.)
Bottom line, people who are not taking drugs should be careful about taking training advice from those who do take drugs.

Bodybuilding is a sport. Ron A is a bodybuilder. Bob C represents professional athletes. Goatboy lifts weights. What is so hard to accept about any of this?

Only fat people who will never be lean say it is not a sport.
Those powerlifting jokes think it is not a sport.
The men who can not take their shirts off but like to tell people they lift weights say it is not a sport.
Generally, people who don't look good say it is not a sport.
Morons say it is not a sport.

It is a sport that is a part of every other sport.
Athletes from all sports improve their body by lifting weights, doing cardio and dieting.
Bodybuilding is the greatest sport in the world in my opinion.

Do those people train their whole lives, training requires skill, dieting requires skill, posing requires skill
taking drugs requires skill.
Tell us, is this a sport?

Are beauty pageant contestants "athletes", they diet and train like bodybuilders. Maybe they are not as strong, but they work just as hard.

Well, a grapefruit fucking COMPETITION would be a sport because you're competing physically.
Simply fucking a grapefruit would not be one. I guess if you timed yourself and competed with yourself you could make a sport out of it. Like, "can I beat my record shortest time for blowing my nuts?"

Ha-ha. I admit that bb is a tough activity, but the truth is, it's a bunch of men who abuse drugs to pose on stage. It's no different (in essence) than a beauty pageant; the beauty has been replaced by freaky.
Are truck drivers competing to deliver their freight before other truckers athletes. they have to compete in an activity that requires physical excursion ( turning a big wheel) for the prize of getting in early to make money.

True. I guess a beauty pageant is exactly what it is, because the contestants of the other beauty pageants have to prepare for theirs very similarly. The only difference is, they're trying to achieve different forms of "beauty." :-X :-X :-X

We must realize that there are some people here at Getbig that simply like to lift weights, to try to build their own bodies, NOT because they admire the muscles of other men. I'd put myself in this category. I just like to try to build myself bigger.
You probably have three types of people here:
1) People who admire the muscles of others. (Bodybuilding the noun. Likely gay perverts, for the most part.),
2) People who like to try to build their own bodies. (Bodybuilding the verb.), and
3) People who fall into both categories. (Compete and watch the competition to be aware of where they stand relative to it.)

Thats not the criteria of a sport. Also, just because a woman does not lift hundreds of pounds, does not mean she is not training hard. They do tons of cardio and diet. Same thing. competitive bb is a pageant, plain and simple.

-
Bodybuilders are judged on strict guidelines that they must adhere to by the largest amount over their competitors, in order to win. That doesn't always happen, but it's the ideal judging scenario. The fact that they're judged under any criteria, to determine the winner between two or more contestants, makes it a sport.
As I said, call it what you like. There are many names for it and whatever name you use will show your attitude towards the sport of bodybuilding. I'm more wholesome in that I see it as a competition, not a pagaent. Each to their own and there's nothing wrong with whatever you call it, as it's your opinion.

Good point on the names, but I personally found this site with a Google search.
If you simply search terms related to bodybuilding in any way (like training terms) a Getbig page from a post in the forum is likely to turn up as one of the first results. But I do think you're right, and I do think we want "heros" to strive for. For instance, it works for motivation to think things like "I want to look like _____." I guess the difference may be motivational or sexual inspiration. :-X

Yeah, i think nearly everyone who lifts has a bodybuilder (past or present) that they strive to try and "replicate" that physique or at least have a physique in which they would like to possess.
Most guys now tend to be fans of the more classic physique (Zane, Nubret etc) but there are a few of us who wouldn't mind looking like a freak... :D

Would muscle control be considered a skill?
Proper posing can be tough. Flexing every muscle from head to toe and holding it takes practice to perfect and can be difficuilt to do.

posing is a skill that affects placings

tell me where the physical exertion is in a beauty pageant
E

Then they took it off and replaced it with hotdog eating and spelling bee's ;D!
the average person would rather watch this
notice how NFL Live is a year round show on espn? it gets RATINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
E
-
driving is not a sport, pressing a gas pedal is not physical exertion
E
Good point.
Yet the drivers claim to be athletes because they claim to have to train hard to perform at their best...
Same can be said for bodybuilders.
-
Would muscle control be considered a skill?
Proper posing can be tough. Flexing every muscle from head to toe and holding it takes practice to perfect and can be difficuilt to do.
YES
notice how the mr. getbig contestants didn't know how to pose?

Sucking in your stomache,
maintaining perfect posture,
maintaining the most attractive look on your face possible,
portraying desired personality,
the rigorous pre-competition preparation including diet, possibly training, etc...
(it all involves muscle control similar to bodybuilding)

Yeah, but we actually have a vibrant dynamic economy. All you have is a bunch of undereducated unemployed douchebags sitting around dilapidated union halls bitching about their lives.
what does this have to do with me, this thread, or anything?
talk about being desperate for a comeback after getting owned hahaha
just saw in today's paper that the burgh was ranked as a top 10 safest city in the country and most livable
your life is getbig 24/7, what do you have 100,000 posts with you and you're gimmicks? what would you do with your time if getbig didn't exist?

miss america contestants don't have stomachs
maintaining perfect posture is done by anybody with confidence
having a nice face is not a skill or talent
portraying personality is not physical exertion nor skill
eating salads, walking on a treadmill, lifting 5 lb dumbells for sets of 30 is not rigorous

You still have to do things with your facial muscles, much like properly holding a pose. Your face has muscles that control the way it looks. You have to voluntarily control your mouth, eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, etc... check this out, it's a book for people to build their facial muscles to make them better looking:

True, and I agree with you. My argument, and I believe Goatboy's as well, is that bodybuilding is a beauty pageant.
"Beauty queens" and bodybuilders simply strive for different forms of "beauty."

-
Controlling facial muscles is not a part of a bodybuilding contest. As of modern times, neither is weightlifting. Any work you do in the gym is not judged on a bodybuilding stage, as per the guidelines for winning a contest.
It seems some are still confused with bodybuilding training and bodybuilding as a competition. They are not one and the same. If they were, Ronnie would likely win every competition, with Johnny Jackson placing second. ;)

Sucking in your stomache, maintaining perfect posture, maintaining the most attractive look on your face possible, portraying desired personality, putting forth the effort and discipline necessary for rigorous pre-competition preparation including diet and training do involve achieving a physical form and expressing muscle control similar to bodybuilding.

I would agree with where you said "the same" here in bold in the quote above, but just because one sport is more physically demanding than another doesn't disqualify it as a sport altogether.

Right, but turning that massive steering wheel, and working the double clutch is. It's physical exertion, and under your definition, driving a truck while under deadline is a sport.

You're right....I am actually more knowledgeable about bodybuilders and bodybuilding than most people on this board.....I just don't think they are athletes, and the activity become dead to me after I learned all the creepy aspects of it.

Perhaps what we should be looking at is not physical "exertion," but rather the degree of physical "SKILL" utilized.

It's not a question as to whether it's a sport. It's a fact. I wonder why some of you are even questioning this fact, as it's clearly evident if you know anything about the judging of a bodybuilding contest.
-

Posing is a skill...but not an athletic one. You can learn to pose, but you can't teach athleticism. Athleticism you're born with.

-
Not a sport. Not even debatable.
-

What I'm trying to justify is WHY people consider something like bodybuilding or racecar driving a sport...
Simply saying "it's a sport" doesn't get us anywhere at all. So, I ask, "what made people call these sports?"
Ask yourself, "what makes a beauty pageant not fall into this category, of 'sport'?" Big men instead of small women doesn't draw the line. :-\

Soundness, you seem to know alot about beauty pagaents. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but it's also clear that you know little about the sport of bodybuilding if you can't see how it classifies as a sport. Instead of typing here with misguided information, I suggest you visit the IFBB's website and educate yourself on the judging criteria and what the sport of bodybuilding is about.

That doesn't address the issue constructively. You're saying since there's judging criteria it's a sport? We're running in circles, that's just competition and in that case anything that involves competition would qualify as a "sport." And yes, I've known a couple females that participated in beauty pageants. ;)

SEE, it's the skill we should be looking at. THAT'S what makes people classify something as a sport, not "physical exertion."

Nope. Requires skill, but virtually no athleticism. It can be done by non-athletes, the elderly, et cetera.

FALSE. Here's my newly-formulated definition of a "sport," hope you like it.:
An activity involving competition of some type of physical skill between two or more people.
So, it requires simultaneous:
1) competition, and
2) physical skill
Yes, bodybuilding does qualify. ;) Like it or not, "sport" is a category and that's how we as humans classify.

It's clear you have a very closed mind in relation to this arguement. You WANT to believe that it is not a sport and will not accept rational arguement that it is.
I'll simply state that if it's a skill you're looking for, then read the judging guidelines on what skill they require of the competitors in order to decide who should win. That should be fairly easy to understand. The rest is upto you.

Earl, once I considered classifying sports in terms of SKILL, not "physical exertion," it made sense why things like golf, racecar driving, etc... are considered "sports." We were looking at the wrong thing; we should have been looking at skill. I came to agree that bodybuilding is a sport.

Newspapers can be wrong. They make mistakes all the time. You have been shown why bb is not a sport. As I said before, truck driving is a sport under your rules.
-
its prostitution for sure.. but still not a sport.
Please explain your position, and base your arguments on the definition of a sport (and the criteria it outlines).
-
my position is this - selling your ass for cash is a transaction... not a sport.
a bodybuilding show is really a flesh market... men from the audience watch.. see which piece of ass they lust after the most.. and then buy that piece of ass.
its an activity - a lifestyle.. a glorification of flesh. just because you have a group of *judges* subjectively placing them in a particular pecking order onstage does not make it a sport. there is no real winner or loser.. just a bunch of lust crazy clowns.
OK so you're basically saying people win bodybuilding shows not because of what they do at the shows (skill) but because of what they do outside the shows? I get it and probably true, at least for the olympia. :-\
-
even if a bodybuilder won a show based on judging... the judging itself is subjective. its very much like a beauty pageant... is miss America an athlete because she was judged victorious at her pageant?
that's silly... though I do think the miss america girls could use the ifbb as an example - the girls need to be in thongs and oiled up at ALL times.
A lot of sports uses a judging system that = strongly colored by subjectivity.
Debussey must go and drink some piss and sperm now, will eat your arguments later sperms :-*

Conventional beauty pageants are about 70% sport (physical skill competition), if that makes any sense. The other 30% is non-physical skill and therefore non-sport. Therefore, we tend to only consider those competitions which depend 100% SOLELY on the performance of the physical skill to win them.
So, it could be argued that although bodybuilding involves physical skill it may not qualify exactly as a sport IF we can prove that winning it does not depend 100% on the physical skill (posing) performance. Apparently this is what you're getting at, and it's probably true...
-
I googled the word *sport* for a definition.
these are the first two definition that came up -
1.an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition
2.the occupation of athletes who compete for pay
its a tough call... it can really go either way.
bodybuilding has those elements to be sure but its also a beauty contest.
They're wrong and they're confused, because that does not explain why activities like racecar driving and golf are "sports" when in fact they are...Through this thread I believe I came up with a valid definition. This is it:
An activity involving competition of some type of physical skill between two or more people.
So, it requires simultaneous:
1) competition, and
2) physical skill
Think of any sport in the world, especially the strange ones. By this definition above they all qualify. Looking at things in terms of competition with skill, NOT physical exertion reveals how we classify something a "sport." It is based on skill. ;)
(The reason people are confused is because they're not using SKILL as the vital component, they don't realize this.)
-
yeah.. at the end of the day it really doesn't matter. I'm content to call pro bodybuilding a meat market.
the truly disgusting part of the industry are the supp companies... oh the lies

It's a pageant for fans of muscle (aka schmoes, muscle worshipers). No two ways around it:
Pageant
A theatrical exhibition; a spectacle.
An elaborate exhibition devised for the entertainmeut of a distinguished personage, or of the public; a show, spectacle, or display.
Of the nature of a pageant; spectacular.
To exhibit in show; to represent; to mimic.

I can't believe this is even being argued. There's nothing sporty/sport like about comp. bbing. Only an idiot (or a schmoe who wants to idolize his muscle heroes). It's a shame that a lot of things get classified as "sport" these days. Poker, Golf, et cetera....
For me, for something to be a sport, it must require athletic ability, plain and simple. Not EVERYONE has athletic ability, which is WHY not every can participate in sports. Anyone can play poker, golf, drive a car and even bodybuild (Vince G. is a perfect example). It may require skill to some degree, but ZERO athleticism.
Again, this shit is retarded.

To exhibit in show; to represent; to mimic.

I can't believe this is even being argued. There's nothing sporty/sport like about comp. bbing. Only an idiot (or a schmoe who wants to idolize his muscle heroes). It's a shame that a lot of things get classified as "sport" these days. Poker, Golf, et cetera....
For me, for something to be a sport, it must require athletic ability, plain and simple. Not EVERYONE has athletic ability, which is WHY not every can participate in sports. Anyone can play poker, golf, drive a car and even bodybuild (Vince G. is a perfect example). It may require skill to some degree, but ZERO athleticism.
Again, this shit is retarded.
Good post, spot on as usual.

well every newspaper that talks about bodybuilding puts it in the sports section
Where else would they put it? Newspapers are wrong all the time. Do you really want me to cite examples?
getbiggers know better, right ::)
Some do.
maybe i know nothing about truck driving but how does that fit my rules?
By your definition truck driving under a deadline is a sport, and truck drivers are athletes.
and where have i been shown why it isn't a sport? i just see a lot of ignorant opinions
I think there have been some pretty irrefutable arguments as to why bb is not a sport, but you're right it's just my opinion.

Again, good luck reasoning with people here. I had one idiot argue with me that Football linemen (American Football) were not athletes. His argument was, that they were fat. Apparently that pea brain didn't realize that those huge fuckers are REQUIRED to maintain a certain weight. They may not be the fittest looking guys, but they are very well conditioned. Again, athleticism is REQUIRED. You can't just put a fat guy out there and expect him to play every down. You can put a fat guy on a bbing stage though....
There's so much denial in this fucking industry. The fucking posers want to be called athletes. The pageants are addressed as sport. The schmoes are called fans...the drugs abusers NEVER give credit to the drugs they use/abuse (when those w/a working brain know they would NEVER look the way they do without them)...you get the idea.
I know drugs are everywhere...the difference is that in real sports, they make that small difference, since people are born with athleticism, it really just enhances athletic ability. In Comp. bbing, the drugs are everything. These guys would not look ANYWHERE near the way they do without them. That's a fact.

It's a shame really, because something like pro wrestling requires great conditioning and athletic ability, doesn't get respect by the mainstream. You don't see results on ESPN. Yes, it is scripted, but those guys are athletes ALL THE WAY. It's a insult that Poker and Hot Dog eating contests do show up on ESPN.
I think it is very telling that a man who trains athletes for a living (The Coach), who has competed in bbing shows many a time through out the years, would not classify bbers as athletes and comp. bbing as not being a sport. To me, his opinion on this matter holds a lot more weight than the opinion of some schmoe with an affinity for muscular men in tiny trunks.

Okay, we've established it doesn't require athleticism. At best its a pageant, even then, it may be more of a WWE/WWF type of thing (without the athleticism and personalities) in that it's somewhat scripted. In comp. bbing, the best man doesn't always win (just like WWE), or skating...et cetera.
There's nothing about comp. bbing where one as spectator can say, hey, that dude just scored. Not Touchdowns, no 3 pointers, no homers, no nothing. It's all subjective. It all comes down to what the muscle worshiper in the judges' table likes. How the fuck is that a sport?
What makes it a sport?

It's a subjective sport, like the many forms of gymnastics, synchronised swimming, diving, and many others. Yes, you would call those sports. It shouldn't be any different than BBing.
The fact that you see even the judges of the contest as schmoes is part of the reason why you fail to classify it as a subjective sport. You're only focused on the muscle-worshipping/G4P side, which blurs your vision of the whole picture. You also have a very narrow-minded view of what's considered a sport.
-
The endless iron, the cardio, and an ocean of piss.
Are you being serious? Or joking?
Hmmm...anyone who knows anything about bbing knows these guys do not do actual cardio. Walking on a fucking treadmill at 2 miles an hour is not cardio. Fat people can do that. Athletes do real cardio regimens. Bbers do not.
It's funny that these lazy assholes will say shit like " I don't wanna burn off too much muscle" as the reason why they half ass cardio. These jokers are on so much shit, like it really makes a difference. ::) Just lazy.
As far as the lifting is concerned, shit, lots of fat folks lift. Shit, old people lift too. Look at guys like Dillet and Flex...zero fucking intensity....thank goodness for drugs.

Newsflash, oiling up, posing for a crowd of men is gay! I didn't make it gay, the people who do it and admire it (whatever their reason) made it gay.
Answer me this; what's the difference between a strip show and a bbing contest?
Strippers comp. bbers

Oil up? Check Oil up? Check
Pose and dance Pose and dance for

what's the difference between a strip show and a bbing contest?
Stripping is for sexual gratification. BBing is to assess who has the most balanced physique in terms of a set judging criteria. Some in the crowd gain sexual gratification from watching, but that's not the essence of it.
BTW, the reason those you mentioned would be called sports is that THEY REQUIRE ATHLETIC ABILITY. Not something ANYONE COULD DO. Once again, comp. bbing does NOT require athletic ability.
The athletic ability required in BBing is on the physiques themselves. How it looks from a number of angles takes the ability of the BBer to show off the physique and build it up to that point. Some are more blessed with this ability (e.g Flex Wheeler), as in all sports. Others have to train harder in order to give them a better chance at winning the show. If anyone can win a BBing show, why don't you get up there and become the next Mr. Olympia? ;)
-
Will never be a sport.

Say what? That doesn't make sense. So the athletic ability in the Miss America is in the physiques itself?
Flex may have been blessed with genetics (for bbing), but that's not athletic ability. Even if he had athletic ability, he sure as hell wasn't using it during his competitive days...
I never said ANYONE can win a show. Show me where I said that...please. Even if anyone could (for the sake of argument) win a show, it's not something I CARE to do.

The athletic ability is the ability to acquire a physique (e.g. symmetry, proportion, mass etc) that is good enough to win. In theory, those with bad athletic ability are the guys who get last place, because their athletic ability (physique) is poor.
You said getting up on stage and even pacing 17 out of 18 competitors is something "anyone could do." The fact that these guys even made it to pro status proves comp. BBing is not something anyone can do.
-
Will never be a sport, pageant followers. :-*

They same can be said for contestants of a beauty pageant. Not every women can get the body it takes to place in those shows. BB is a beauty pageant that has replaced the beauty with freaky. Symmetry, proportion and mass have to do with genetics and drugs, not athletic ability.
Athletic ability has to do with speed, quickness, hand eye coordination and stamina. Pro NFL players train with weights very hard each and every week, then they go out and compete in a full contact athletic competition on Sundays. That's an athlete. Same goes for soccer players and basketball players.
Standing around and flexing does not make you an athlete. You could be the most unathletic dumbass and be a top pro if you do the right drugs, and you have the right genetics. The same cannot be said for a single REAL pro sport.
-
Conventional beauty pageants are about 70% sport (physical skill competition), if that makes any sense. The other 30% is non-physical skill and therefore non-sport. Therefore, we tend to only consider those competitions which depend 100% SOLELY on the performance of the physical skill to win them.
So, it could be argued that although bodybuilding involves physical skill it may not qualify exactly as a sport IF we can prove that winning it does not depend 100% on the physical skill (posing) performance. Apparently this is what you're getting at, and it's probably true...
Does it take more skill for an Olympian to run the 100 yard dash than it does a top bodybuilder to exhibit the end result of theyr'e labor on stage? what then defines the sprinter as being more of an athlete than the bodybuilder? Wouldn't at least the same amount of work, preparation, and sacrifice be involved in either case?

But stated as competitive dance and not as a sport. There's subjective opinions regardless of definition. Though bodybuilding comps are physical in the gym, once on the stage, very little of that physical work is transcended to posing. It's still more accurate to call it a pageant/competition than a sport since there's not real physical skill actually involved on the stage, unlike powerlifting comps, strongman comps, etc.

What do pro hockey, football, soccer and basketball players all have in common? Superior hand eye coordination, rare quickness, the ability to make decision much faster than the average human, superior explosion and incredable athletic ability. They train with weights, then COMPETE in a full blown ATHLETIC competition each time they play a game. Truck driving is as much of a sport as Bodybuilding.
I love how "pro" bb's talk about all the sacrifices they make. Who gives a shit? They get payed to eat, sleep and lift. Pro football players train with weights all week, study film, practise and then step on the field for a full contact athletic competition each and every week. Pro bb's a fucking pussies.
-
Earl still doesn't get it.... a "sport" is where an activity that is part of the competition is being measured objectively, such as who can run a given distance the fastest or who can lift the most weight or score the most goals. Even in a judged sport (such as gymnastics), it is an activity being performed and how well that activity is executed that is being judged, not how someone looks. When you are judging how someone looks, it is a pageant, not a sport.
Hope this helps, knucklehead. ::)

yeak wikipedia owns me ::)

Here... I'll quote the section for you:
In British English, sporting activities are commonly denoted by the collective noun "sport". In American English, "sports" is more used. In all English dialects, "sports" is the term used for more than one specific sport. For example, "football and swimming are my favourite sports", would sound natural to all English speakers, whereas "I enjoy sport" would sound less natural than "I enjoy sports" to North Americans.
The term "sport" is sometimes extended to encompass all competitive activities in which offense and defense are played, regardless of the level of physical activity. Both games of skill and motor sport exhibit many of the characteristics of physical sports, such as skill, sportsmanship, and at the highest levels, even professional sponsorship associated with physical sports. Air sports, billiards, bridge, chess, motorcycle racing, and powerboating are all recognized as sports by the International Olympic Committee with their world governing bodies represented in the Association of the IOC Recognised International Sports Federations.[1]
Sports that are judged rather those that rely on objective measures are distinct from other judged activities such as beauty pageants and bodybuilding shows in that it is an actual activity that is being evaluated, rather than the physical attributes of the participant. Thus, while weightlifting is a sport, bodybuilding competitions are not.

I originally came to this site to hang out with others who lift weights and diet like I do, not to be a fan of "bodybuilding" which is gayer than a $3 bill. Since the site became "all IFBB all the time", I come here to make fun of the IFBB and "bawdybuilders" like Bob Chick and Schmoes like Lift and Ron and you. This site and the whole IFBB circus is massively entertaining. That still doesn't make bodybuilding a sport, Earl... it's not.

Agreed, but "sport" has lost its meaning. Bodybuilding has been on ESPN, but so is poker every week. And pool. And darts. Hell, bowlers and golfers are superjocks compared to these.
NASCAR, table tennis, chess, horse racing, video gaming, crossword tournaments ...
Someone has, or will, make an argument for all of 'em.

Then posing is more about artistry than physical skill. And the best poser doesn't always win. It's the person with the best physique, or should be anyway. How many points are awarding to posing? Hardly any. Based on this, you can't use it as a good evidence to back it as a sport.
Call it what it is. A competition. The bodybuilders are competitors, not athletes.
-
Back in the day in the AAU Mr. America contest there was always performance points. This use to be the most prestigious amateur contest in the country. They actually had to post a total in Olympic lifting which gave them their athletic points. How many pros today could actually power clean 300lbs? I'll answer that with very few. This could be a way to get the sport back on track is to have athletic points be part of the scoring. Most of these guys posing are in such ill health they couldn't jog a slow mile without keeling over.
The sport of bodybuilding really takes place in the gym. Unfortunately it's a sport based on drug use. It's 100% drug use. Without drugs this sub culture of a sport would only be able to have contests in high school gyms with a couple of hundred fans. It's really sad that bodybuilding could be the shining star pointing the way to health and fitness but along the way it turned into a science experiment.
Where in sport does anyone look like a pro bodybuilder? It's a cosmetic artificial drug bloat that goes away quickly without the chemical assist. Real physiques can be found in sprinters, wrestlers, running backs, olympic lifters, and other athletes.
I do love this sport but sometimes I feel the true oldtimers had it right. Train 3 times a week hard. Have a real job and family. I know drug users will rationalize that every athlete today uses drugs but that's not true. Steroids, insulin, growth hormone;Lh, thyroid, diuretics, speed and who knows what else is insanity to pose in a speedo.

Personally, I don't give a fuck what it is, but at this point I don't think it's a sport because I don't think winning it depends PRIMARILY on the performance of a physical skill. It's moreso how you look than it is posing, and in order for it to truly be a sport winning it has to depend 100% on the performance of the skill.

Personally, I don't give a fuck what it is, but at this point I don't think it's a sport because I don't think winning it depends PRIMARILY on the performance of a physical skill. It's moreso how you look than it is posing, and in order for it to truly be a sport winning it has to depend 100% on the performance of the skill.
hahahahaha you're so angry because I won't drink piss like other idiots such as Johnny Moron.

Are you AXA? I see you deleted that other thread the second WillGrant suggested it?
-
Bodybuilding is a drug habit. (Take the drugs, feed the ego = ADDICTION)
Bodybuilding is a charade.
Bodybuilding is drugs, oil, thongs, perverts, and obsession with masculinity.
Yeah, I work out instead.
Posing is a funny sport. But sport is inmature behavior.

He is not AXA, AXA can't be this stupid, he actually supported urine therapy.
You do recall the PM you just sent me, correct? ;)
The thread you just started as well, right? http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=253650.0
It is intelligent to support urine therapy, that's the smartest thing I've ever seen J Grey do.
Here's what's strange... WillGrant gives many reasons why he suggests J Grey is AXA in the thread about me disrespecting his wife and religion. What happens? J Grey immediately deletes the entire thread. It seems he tried to delete it before I read it, but I did read WillGrant's post...
THEN, I ask J Grey if he is AXA on here... NO ANSWER AND HE QUIT POSTING ALTOGETHER. hmmm......
"upjacked," do you find this suspicious?
-
as I sent you in the PM
no body can delete threads on getbig, not even the starter, Ron is online :o
he usually deletes threads that are not related to bodybuilding.
AXA is a really nice guy, I have talked to him on the phone, he knows alot about politics and
what is going on in the world, I don't know where he is these days.
I've had some very respectable conversations with AXA as well, so it would disappoint me if he were J Grey...
I'm not saying it's true, I'm saying J Grey's behavior certainly suggests it.
He quit posting altogether, PERIOD, when that was suggested.

I see that the queers are at it again.
No soundness I already told your boyfriend upjacked I'm not him.
it's still a sport

King James Version
Gospel according to John, chapter 7
7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
In John verse 7:37 Jesus, after getting drunk offering people to drink his urine, thereafter, Jesus in John 7:38 explicitly teaching/preaching/telling people that those who believe in me can drink urine and their bellies shall flow rivers of living water. We all know that only living water, which flow from our bellies is urine. And how retarded one should be to miss that and believe in a convicted felon to be his/her god? This is the undeniable evidence that Jesus served his urine and preached urine drinking. By the way, we all know that Jesus was a freeloader and never had a job, home and life; therefore, question of having goblets and/or cups cannot be entertained. This will explain the tradition of “below job”, which perhaps begin then (what a double pleasure in Christianity). No wonder, Paul sucked Timothy’s penis as we read:
What was the method used in those days to circumcise someone? This is explained in detail by A. N. Wilson who writes:
By Roman times, circumcision was done with a metal knife, and, if we believe that Paul did insist on Timothy undergoing circumcision, it is perhaps worth reminding ourselves of the three essential parts of the ritual, without which it is not complete. The first part is milah, the cutting away of the outer part of the foreskin. The is done with one sweep of the knife. The second part, periah, is the tearing of the inner lining of the foreskin which still adheres to the glans, so as to lay it wholly bare. This was (and is) done by the operator - the mohel, the professional circumciser - with his thumb-nail and index finger. The third and essential part of the ritual is mesisah, the sucking of blood from the wound. Since the nineteenth century, it has been permissible to finish this part of the ritual with a swab, but in all preceding centuries and certainly in the time of Paul it was necessary for the mohel to clean the wound by taking the penis into his mouth. In the case of a young adult male such as Timothy the bleeding would have been copious. 12 We can easily imagine why Paul's Gentile converts were unwilling to undergo the ritual; and, given the more liberal attitudes towards the Torah which had already begun to emerge among the Hellenists of Syrian Antioch, it is not surprising that the custom of circumcision should have started to wane. It took the extremism of Paul to think that the knife of circumcision would actually 'cut you . . . off from Christ'. But could any greater contrast be imagined between this belief and the traditional Jewish view that those who did not weild that knife delayed the coming of the Messiah?

I'm not saying Jesus is bad, but I am saying that you have no room to speak against urine therapy if you consider yourself a christian who believes in the bible. In fact, you should practice it if that's the case.

You're damn right, and 4 major things were filtered out progressively through time due to subjective interpretation:
1) The tales of Jesus doing acts we don't consider "kind," mostly from his childhood.
2) The fact that the word for "god" and "lord" was PLURAL; it meant "gods" or lords."
3) Most of the wording was adjusted so that it no longer explained "individuals coming down from the sky," "spheres from outer space," and the fact that these spheres were the vehicles of the gods.
(= the "gods" were extraterrestrial lifeforms)
4) You guessed it, more things we don't consider "proper" such as drinking your own urine.

By definition it is, actually:
From thefreedictionary.com site:
sport (spôrt, sp rt)
n.
1.
a. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
b. A particular form of this activity.
2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From Wikipedia:
Sport is activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determiner of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports (a common name for some card games and board games with little to no element of chance) and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors. Sport is commonly defined as an organized, competitive and skillful physical activity requiring commitment and fair play. Sports differ from games based on levels of organization and profit (not always monetary). Accurate records are kept and updated, while failures and accomplishments are widely announced in sport news.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the yourdictionary.com site:
sport (spôrt)
noun
1. any activity or experience that gives enjoyment or recreation; pastime; diversion
2. such an activity, esp. when competitive, requiring more or less vigorous bodily exertion and carried on, sometimes as a profession, according to some traditional form or set of rules, whether outdoors, as football, golf, etc., or indoors, as basketball, bowling, etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And then again….we could always say that baseball, football, hockey, etc. are only just "games".

Not according to your definitions above. The activities you listed are...um... sports by definition. BB is not on par with real sports, thats a fact. BB are judged based on their looks when they compete, its a pageant. Truck driving under a deadline is as much of a sport as bb. In real sports athletes partake in actual physical competition that is governed by a set of rules.
-
Bodybuilding is clearly not a sport, it is a pageant, since appearance rather than an activity is being judged. How much clearer could this be? Those that argue until they are blue in the face that it is a sport are desperate to not admit they watch male beauty pageants.

Not true, thats why they are athletes. And as you said before, just because one sport is easier than another, it does not disqualify that activity from being a sport. You are contradicting yourself. A basketball game is much more taxing than posing on a bb stage, but you argue that bb is a sport.

Earl- If you want to put a bunch of oiled man in thongs on a stage, and have them do bench presses, and the one who lifts the heaviest weight or does the most reps wins, THEN it's a sport. If you wanna have a bunch of oiled men in thongs run a 100-meter dash, and the one who runs it the fastest wins, THEN it's a sport. But if you wanna put a bunch of oiled men in thongs on a stage and judge them on how their muscles LOOK, then it's not a sport, it's a pageant.
Hope this helps!

Right, but those drivers are competing based on their performance in a race. BB's are judged on how they look. Nascar does not award the best looking car the win.
-

I agree, but you could apply that logic to anything. People don't call ditch diggers athletes. Also, the winner of a bb contest is not decided by who flex's the hardest for the longest amount of time....the best looking body wins.

Unfortunately, the best flexer is not the winner, the one with the best looking physique is the winner. NOT A SPORT. If it were, Fat Dave or Chad Mower could get up there and be the best technically skilled flexer and beat Ronnie Coleman.

Skip the race... give the trophy to the car with the prettiest paint-job... then it would be just like bodybuilding!
If there was a way to include the preparation for a show (working out in the gym) into the bodybuilding contest then it would be a sport. But like you said "bb's are judged on how they look". I don't think your point is refutable. Once you make that point, you can't say bodybuilding is not the exact same as a pageant.

Serge Nubret agrees with me, it's a sport

Thats not included in the actual competition. BB's are judged on how they look when on stage. It's basically a pageant. Pageant models are not considered athletes and they work out and diet leading up to the pageant.

True, but you are not competing against others in a set competition with a set of rules. Its a taxing physical activity (like posing), but it does not make you an athlete.

they're not being judged by how many miles they run, just like you said bodybuilders are not being judged by how much they flex
they're being judged by how many balls they get in the hoop just like bodybuilders are being judged by their looks

No because basketball players do not win a game by being the best looking team. Also, I asked you how many miles you thought the average pro basketball player ran in a game. Your response would have formed the body of my next point. I merely asked you a question.

But you said yourself that just because one sport is easier than another it does not disqualify that activity from bring a sport. Also, since a bb wins a contest based on their looks your point is flawed from the start.
-
so goatboy is saying sex is a sport and bodybuilding isn't? :D
Clearly he didn't say that:
Sex could be a sport if there were objective criteria based on an activity: who can go the longest withut cumming, or who can cum first, or who can give a chick the most number of orgasms in a set time period. But none of that is like bodybuilding. If it were like bodybuilding, the criteria would be "who has the biggest or most well-defined penis".
NOT A SPORT.

Why? You're using all kinds of angles to justify your points. (quoting peoples opinions and statements) I agree that BB takes skill, but since a bb is judged on how they look, it's more of a pageant than a sport.

Soundness, in your opinion, what are the percentages of the factors that are required in a BBing contest?
I assume you're asking what percentage of winning depends on the performance of the skill (posing) as opposed to your build...
It would vary slightly, depending on how good an individual bodybuilder is at posing. For instance, someone can obviously make themselves look better than someone who is built better with excellent posing skills... For example, Arnold was master at hiding his wide waist and making it appear narrower by twisting.
If I were to guess, on average I'd say your build is 80% of why you win, your posing is about 20%. :-\ Maybe at most 70/30. So you can make up a little bit of ground, but not a lot. Of course this is an estimate, but this certainly means it's not a sport. In order for it to be a sport, winning would have to depend on posing 100%.
The ratio is actually very very close to a beauty pageant. It's just that in a beauty pageant you're portraying facial muscles, attitude, voice, etc... rather than biceps, lats, etc... Obviously if you look like a fuckin scary and go to a beauty pageant you'll look like a fool no matter how good you talk or smile, just like if you go to a bodybuilding show looking like a fuckin slob you'll look like a fool no matter how good you are at posing.
-
I agree with the below quote:
For instance, someone can obviously make themselves look better than someone who is built better with excellent posing skills... For example, Arnold was master at hiding his wide waist and making it appear narrower by twisting.
For everything else you said, let's just say that I agree it can be called a pagaent, but also a sport.

bodybuilding is a lifestyle, and better han any sport.
on the issue of bodybuilders being awarded for posing, no, not for entertaining posing, BUT learning how to pose correctly to properly show off your body DOES help you in placings. for examplpe = paul dillet. if he knew how to pose, hed haveplaced better in some shows. another example = onnie coleman. while his posin never effected his placings, the way he hit his back double bi did not show off his lats to their full potential.

You have to admit, it was pure genius on the homos' part to get everyone to start thinking of it as a "sport"... they get tons of guys getting involved in it that otherwise wouldn't get anywhere near it. It's almost like they're legitimizing their fag0try in the eyes of those who don't take a second look and engage their brains. Geting oiled men in thongs into the Olympics would have been their greatest coup. Fortunately, the members of the IOC aren't that stupid.
-
Interesting. Earl feels that pro bodybuilding is very heterosexual. After all, if it's a "sport" it has to be, right? Nothing more masculine and heterosexual than sports, right? I mean, if bodybuilding were not a sport, and were just a male beauty pageant for muscles, that would make Earl a gay panty-sniffing pervert, right?? ;D
Maybe it should be an all female panel of judges. :D

If not, it's odd that a group of heterosexuals would fight tooth-and-nail to prove that a sport they follow is predominately homo-orientated and filled with homosexual judges, competitors, sponsors, fans, etc. It's almost laughable.

What makes you think we "follow" the "sport" (which it's not)? I lift weights and eat right, I don't shave my body hair, put on a thong, and prance around on a stage (or give two shits about those who do, other than to make fun of them). ::)
Anyone who says that it's not a sport is here for all the wrong reasons and shouldn't even bother with this thread, since their battle is based on very flimsy, childish, and misguided grounds.
No, the argument that it's not a sport is based on sound logic. A sport involves an activity that is measured objectively. The winner of a bodybuilding show is not determined by any competitive activity, but is based solely on how these guys bodies look. That is not a sport, it is a pageant. The desperate denial of those on your side of the argument is what is "flimsy, childish, and misguided".

I've agreed it can be called a pagaent. For some reason, you guys are hell-bent in seeing that it doesn't be named as a sport. Seems like a homophobic attitude, as that is the main reason for all of the hatred towards BBing on this board. It fits perfectly with the macho-man culture that is the gym scene, so it's no surprise. Countless high profile, respected and knowledgable in the industry all consider it a sport. Who are the odd one's out, a bunch of homophobes cracking fun at "men in thongs" or respected figures in the fitness industry?

If all sports are judged objectively, and the IOC was in their right mind by disallowing BBing to be a part of the Olympics, then how do you explain all the forms of gymnastics being in the Olympics? They are judged on subjective grounds, too.

Of course people IN THE INDUSTRY call it a "sport", duh! It is in their self-interest to do so. ::) Besides, this isn't a popularity contest, where if 51% of the people say something it's automatically true. In the year 1100 CE, 99.9% of the people thought the sun revolved around the earth. That didn't make it true. And just because a lot of mindless drones have been fooled into calling a bunch of oiled-up guys walking aroung on a stage in thongs a "sport", that doesn't make it one. The emperor has no clothes on this one. (although he may have a neon-pink sequined thong)

In gymnastics, it is an ACTIVITY that is being judged. They are performing an athletic activity, and how well they do that activity determines the winner. They are not being judged on how they LOOK, as is the case in bodybuilding. That is a pageant.

Bodybuilding is not a sport because winning in it does not depend 100% on the performance of a physical skill.

Do you think bbing is a sport?
Would you also consider poker, beauty pageants, modeling, darts, etc...sports?

No, I dont consider those mentioned sports
Yes, I consider BB a sport, as people need to realize there are different types of sports, and not all have the same athletic skill, or requirements...
I know one thing..it sure beats being on the internet DEBATING whether or not its a sport...especially from anaonymous people who have never seent he inside of a gym...nothing more comical to me than seeing fools argue the point ad nauseum , when it means NOTHING to them either way...

Chick, bodybuilders are judged on how they look. It's not a sport, it's a pageant.

You are correct, and the process to GET to the stage to BE judged...certainly qualifies as a sport.

Then why don't they call beauty pageant contestants athletes? The exercise and diet just the same for their contest.

It's quite obvious you've never been on stage...no surprise there.
I've known plenty of girls who competed in the Ms. USA Ms. America, etc....and neither trained or dieted, like the majority of them....never met anyone who competed without having to do both.

"body88" is another one of these 6'1" 188 pound guys who spends 8 hours a day on a bodybuilding site but claims to detest bodybuilding and would not want to look like one, Chick.
-

No, it doesn't. Because measures are not being taken during that process, then accounted in determining the winner. All that matters is how you look.
The "process" you speak of is not what they're competing in. They're competing in how they look.

What "measures" are taken into account during football practice, and "accounted" in determining the winner?
They have a game, which has nothing to do with practice, etc...we have preperation...they play a game, we have a show....some sports have contact...some don't. Some have a combination of skill and presentation factored into the scoring...some have no debate like bowling.
As I said...you cannot lump all sports into the same criteria

Well since I am good friends with a former Miss MA, I would respectfully disagree with you. She spends hours in the gym each week, and she diets like crazy. Why does it matter if I have been on stage before, and how do you know that I haven't? I played college sports at a reasonabley high level, and you didn't.....does that make you unable to comment on college athletics? Pretty sure you have never stepped foot in the White house, but I'm sure you have an opinion on polotics in this country.
Pro bb contests are pageants, plain and simple.

Thus, the word "MAJORITY" which was used...meaning MOST, but not neccessarily ALL.
There is a reason that 99.9% of the people I've ever talked to, etc...that HAVE competed, call it a sport. It entails much more than people who havent, could know....which includes people like YOU.
Having an EDUCATED opinion carries more weight than merely guessing, which ids what you are doing, as I would be to comment specifically on matters I don't have expertise in....

That process would be weighlifting. Weightlifting is a sport, yes. Getting onstage in your underwear for old guys to "judge" you is not a sport.

You have no idea if I have competed, who I am, or if I am close with people that competed at a pretty high level. My opinion is educated, and just because you don't like it, that does not mean I am uneducated. Bodybuilding is not a sport, bb's are not true pro athletes, and pro shows are infact pageants. Two of those points are opinions the last one is a FACT.

How come the people who seem to hate bodybuilding are always the ones with well over 10 000 posts on a bodybuilding forum?
gordiano, goatboy, donkeykong and body88 etc. etc.

Are you saying that a pro show is not a pageant? My argument is far from ignorant (you refuse to address logical points I make in my posts), and instead spin your wheels talking out of your ass. You ignore my rebuttal to your false accusation of me being ignorant to competitive bb. Years ago I posted about a good friend of mine who was competing in the nationals. I am very familiar with bb, and you have no clue what you are talking about.
You're not a pro athlete. I respect what you do, but your not a true pro athlete.

No, bodybuilding is not a pageant....a pageant is a pageant, which is why "competition" and "pageant" are two different words, and describe two different things

Thank you. You're right. I love bbing, I bust my ass, I diet, et cetera. I just don't care for competitive side of it, and I don't believe it's a sport. If it makes anyone feel better, for whatever it is worth, I outwork those competitive bbers in my gym (and no, I'm NOTHING special). I respect ANYONE who busts their ass to improve themselves, drugs or not (even though I don't use them). I just happen to have an opinion, that I can guarantee that most people who are able to reason, would agree with.
We take a poll, and we lay out the criteria for what a sport is, as well as what athletes are, and reality is, bbing and comp. bbers are neither. That's reality, deal with it.
You know what else is reality? Bbing pageants are for gay men. Deal with it, no matter how in denial you may be about it, that's just the way it is. It's so obvious, I don't know how I didn't figure it out sooner.

I think you might have nailed it with number 3. Isn't skill in bodybuilding just the talent portion/round?
-
have to agree with Chick here, if you're going with the "according to Hoyle" or Webster's definition of what a pageant and a sport is, bodybuilding definitely qualifies as a sport.

Of course I have, read my post history in this thread. BB is no more of a sport than deadline truckdriving, and since you ARE JUDGED ON YOUR LOOKS during a contest.....that makes it a pageant. My friend is a former college football player, and in his opinion bb is a joke compared to football. The reason he bodybuilds is because a knee injury forced him to stop playing a real sport.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, you're beyond reasoning. I can't say I blame you though...after all, who'd want to admit that they dedicated their lives to stripping for hire (oftentimes for free, like most IFBB pros).
Do I really need to into how a bbing show is so much like a stripper show? About the only difference is, you guys don't get tips!

You're not judged on your "looks"...you're judged on your physique, on symmetry and proportion, on muscle seperation and conditioning, on the ability to display the physique by way of mandatory poses as well as individual posing round.

I, too, am judged on performance...not the color of my trunks, or my hair style.
Different types of "athletic performance", don't dictate whether or not something is considered a sport....golf, football, baseball,gymnastics, platform diving, bodybuilding and running a marathon all require completely kinds/ levels of athleticism

And that's not your looks? :-\
Simply put, there is no "competition" besides the judging "on your physique, on symmetry and proportion, on muscle seperation and conditioning, on the ability to display the physique by way of mandatory poses as well as individual posing round." Which requires only the talent to strike a pose, much like a model on the catwalk, or a Miss America contestant to hit her turns properly.

TRUTH. Bodybuilding is a male beauty pageant.

No, it doesn't. Because measures are not being taken during that process, then accounted in determining the winner. All that matters is how you look.
The "process" you speak of is not what they're competing in. They're competing in how they look.
It was YOU that brought up this ridiculous statement trying to make a point....I merely used football to illustrate my point...it wasn't a comparison of the two by way of being a sport

It's really not that different to the swimsuit section of Miss world

Chick, you win contests based on how you look. Body building is a pageant. Your argument is illogical, because bodybuilders compile points based on how they LOOK, while in real sports points are attained by scoring goals, touchdowns, etc that come from competitive, physical, activity in an athletic contest. Not which team LOOKS like they can score the most points. They don't give a football team a touchdown for having the most proportional helmets, or the best looking biceps.
-

That is a point, one that is very simple to understand...
A sport requires winning in the sport to depend 100% on the PERFORMANCE of a physical skill.
Winning in bodybuilding on the day of the show depends on how you look, which is not a physical skill.
-

The difference should be obvious....and as I stated earlier...it's not just the competition itself that makes up the sport of Bodybuilding....it's the training, the preperation, etc....turning on a catwalk, and developing a world class physique are two different worlds

Thats why there are DIFFERENT kinds of sports...not all require scoring touchdowns.

That process would be weighlifting. Weightlifting is a sport, yes. Getting onstage in your underwear for old guys to "judge" you is not a sport.

There is no competitive activity that is part of bodybuilding shows themselves... none. The winner is determined by how these guys bodies LOOK. That is a pageant. There is no substantive difference between a bodybuilding show and a beauty pageant.

Right, but what all those sports have in common is the competitive PHYSICAL activity it takes to score points, touchdowns or goals. These teams are not awarded points for their looks. Bodybuilders are judged on how they look, and that is why it is a pageant.

Sure there is....there is nothing physically demanding, or exertive about a pageant....nothing. It's walking and turning.
The activity...is the posing and display of the physique.

Really? What "performance" determines the winner at a bodybuilding show?
(Or are you talking about the "performance" with the judges the night before?)
-
it's the training, the preperation, etc....turning on a catwalk, and developing a world class physique are two different worlds
They train how to walk on a catwalk for years. Many models are binned because they can't do it properly. They spend just as much time perfecting and preparing for the catwalk as bodybuilders do training.
the two things are incredibly similar. there is training, preparing but ultimately you are judged on how you look in both cases.

Sport of schmoes, hoes and oily bros
I'll take "hoe" for 250 please.

The activity...is the posing and display of the physique.
Well, if the winner were determined solely on how well they pose and display, and not on how their bodies looks, then it might be a sport. But until Chad Mower can beat Ronnie Coleman by being a better poser, it's a pageant, not a sport.
-
bodybuilding the activity is much more than a sport
-
Right, but what all those sports have in common is the competitive PHYSICAL activity it takes to score points, touchdowns or goals. These teams are not awarded points for their looks. Bodybuilders are judged on how they look, and that is why it is a pageant.
Which is why those sports are different than the sport of bodybuilding....
-
Sure there is....there is nothing physically demanding, or exertive about a pageant....nothing. It's walking and turning.
The activity...is the posing and display of the physique.
FALSE. Beauty pageants require
Sucking in your stomache,
maintaining perfect posture,
maintaining the most attractive look on your face possible,
portraying desired personality,
the rigorous pre-competition preparation including diet, possibly training, etc...
(it all involves muscle control similar to posing in bodybuilding)

What you do in the gym could be called a sport, but what you do on a stage certainly isn't.

Not only that, let's consider the "talent competition" that is a part on many beauty pageants, and often involves skills 100x more complex than standing around on a stage in a thong.
-
Does it really matter if technically the bodybuilding shows are not sporting contests but better defined as a pageant?
Personally, I don't feel as if it detracts from the competitive side of bodybuilding. It is what it is and the definition doesn't change anything.
Its a display of physiques judged according to criteria and placed accordingly.

What you do in the gym could be called a sport, but what you do on a stage certainly isn't.
Not to you...to me it is.

There's your problem...you have "competitive bodybuilding" confused with "standing around in a thong on stage".
I'm a pro B, and I can assure you, I've never dont that.
If you ever had the experience of competing...you would also know there is a difference....no wonder you think the way you do.

Bottom line, you're being judged on how you look, not what you do. The winner is the one with the best looking body, period. That makes it a pageant, not a sport.

Still not a sport.

Agreed. Definitely not a sport.

Bottom line is, what you "do" dictates what you look like and (ultimately) what youre judged on...this is what makes BB a unique sport, as it's the only one with these credentials...if all you had to do WAS put on a thong/ oil and stand there on stage...then it WOULD be a pageant.

So now your saying that all that beauty pageant contestants have to do is toss on a bathing suit and compete? pretty sure Miss America would frown on that one. Again, beauty contestants train and diet for contests.

So we're all agreed.... strutting around a stage oiled up and wearing a thong "flexing" for a bunch of old men is NOT A SPORT. ;D

Unique because exercise, diet and drugs determine how people look on stage but there's very little athleticism to posing.
Still not a sport.

I find it funny people think it's noting but getting up in a thong dancing for me yada yada yada, not a sport, all bodybuilders are gay etc..... Yet the spend a ton of time posting on a board that is pretty much 90% about bodybuilding. Makes you wonder.

Nothing wrong with working out and living a fit lifestyle.
Bodybuilding itself isn't gay, just many of its fans.
It's not a sport either. Actual athletes generally make money and being in 'condition' has to do with performance not looks.

Absolutely right. However, comp. bbing is gay. Since when is injecting drugs (so you can get bigger/harder for the crowd), tanning, oiling up and dancing to music and posing for a crowd made up of 90%+ male audience, not gay?
The denial is this thread is beyond me. Folks, I'd hate to see you ever have to admit you're wrong, if your life depended on it. You couldn't do it.

By bodybuilding I mean trying to improve oneself physically. You generally feel/look better with regular exercise and proper dieting. Being in shape also makes it easier to meet women.
Comps require a lot of mental toughness but in the end probably are a waste of time for people without an inherent genetic advantage.

No one has a problem with "bodybuilding" in the way you just described. We all do that.
The issue here is oiled men in thongs, something that is definitely NOT A SPORT.

Bodybuilding =
1. Underground subculture (due to it's unpopularity amongst the mainstream)
2. With sporting elements (training in the gym for performance)
3. And scientific elements (nutritional know-how)
4. And pageant elements (standing being judges onstage in a subjective manner and having to pose)
5. And performance art elements (free posing round)

Yeah! >:( How is fishing a sport? You throw a line in the water and wait for a fish to bite. And golf? You hit a ball with a club and ride a cart to find it and hit it again...until it finally falls into a hole. Olypmic "sports": Syncronized swimming (people making shapes in the water), Equestrian (a person rides a horse and the horse does tricks), Bobsleigh (4 or 2 people in a closed sled going down an icey track), Luge (1 or 2 person in an open type sled), Skeleton (1 person head first in a sled, sliding down icey track) and Shooting (a gun...now there's a sport...ready, aim, fire. Which brings up Hunting...that's a sport? Hide in a tree and wait for an animal to come along and shoot at it?).

That's wht i'm saying. The term"sport" is so broad, that it can be applied to most physical activities.

Those are sports because winning in them depends on the performance of a physical skill.
Fishing requires precise technique; if you just throw the line in and wait for a fish to bite you won't get anywhere in competition (the "sport"). Golf definately requires physical technique as well. You know how horrible we all are when we start. The other sports you named also require considerable levels of physical skill as well, and winning in them is based on competition of the degree of that skill. So, they are "sports."
Winning in bodybuilding, on the other hand, depends about 80% on your build (how you look), only about 20% on the skill (posing). Therefore, it is not a sport and is instead a form of a beauty pageant, the aesthetics of the body being the "beauty" part.

PGA guys aren't allowed to use golf carts during events. I'd love to see Ronnie or one of those other guys walk 7,000 yards in between swinging a club 70+ times and doing it for four straight days. They'd have a coronary.

I'd make it more like 95%/5%. Either way, the "win" depends on how you look, not on what you do at the competition. That's a pageant, not a sport.

Who says we think those activities are sports? Bodybuilding is a pageant, it's not a sport. We have exposed the fact that bb's are judged on their looks, which makes it a pageant. Competitive bb's that call themselves pro athletes are delusional.

Powerlifting is a sport.
Yes, powerlifting is a sport. An activity is performed during the competition (lifting weights), and the performance of that activity during the competition determines the winner (he who lifts the most weight wins). To be like bodybuilding, the winner would be determined by who has the prettiest barbells or uses the best-smelling chalk.
Bodybuilding = NOT A SPORT
-

But Earl is a "sports fan". Sports are very heterosexual, right? Therefore, if bodybuilding is a sport, being an obsessed "fan" of Levrone is okay and not gay at all, right?
Ohhh..... wait a minute.... now we get to the root of Earl's state of denial.... BODYBUILDING IS NOT A SPORT!

Well, "staged" wrestling (WWF) is not a sport, but rather a performance. Competitive wrestling (high school, college, olympic) is definitely a sport. There is a competitive activity, and that activity determines the winner.
MMA, assuming it's not staged, is a sport as well.
Oiled men in thongs flexing on stage being judged on their bodies is NOT a sport.

closet fags like goat and chaos never post there so you tell me who hates sports
infact goat once said football is gay ::)
bodybuilding is their favorite sport, i'd probably rank bodybuilding as my second or third favorite :)

Enough of this nonsense.... this is just a silly matter of semantics. We could easily make a distinction between subjective and objective sports. Obviously Bodybuilding would fall under the mantle of a subjective sport....

Another thing to keep in mind.... If it was merely a pageant as many around here like to state...
Then people like Bob Paris, Lee Labrada, Shawn Ray, etc...would be undefeated champions in every show they entered, (or you could replace the "Aesthetic" bodybuilders of any era, in this example.)
Of course this isn't the case, because there is other criteria to consider. Mass, conditioning, etc...
These may be subjective terms, but there is enough variables in a bodybuilding competition, that it would be intellectually dishonest, to just refer to it as a "pageant."
Subjective Sport would be a better term IMO.

It doesn't matter what the criteria is (classical "beauty" or muscular "size"), as long as the "sport" determines the winner by how a physique looks, as opposed to being based on the outcome of some activity being performed during the competition, it is a pageant, not a sport, and it would be "intellectually dishonest" to claim otherwise.

Goat...
Why is so hard to make a distinction between a sport based around Subjective criteria, (curling, diving, bodybuilding, and some other Olympic events that I forget), and a sport based around Objective criteria.
The bottom line is this.... Bodybuilding is still a Competition, and the work ethic/genetics of each individual competing, will play a factor in their success, or lack thereof.
While you could make a strained argument that this applies to a pageant, it would in a FAR lesser sense. (At best...even then I think that would be a stretch.

Guys dressed in jock straps and shoulder pads trying to "tackle each other down" isn't a sport either....Fottball is.
Guys in pajamas scratching their balls and slapping each other on the ass isnt a sport either....Baseball is.
Two guys wrestling each other to the ground trying to "pin" each other down and gain dominance isnt a sport....wrestling is.

They aren't being judged on athleticism, it's not a sport.
Soccer, football, or even tiddlywinks are more of a sport than bodybuilding because athletic prowess is how the participants are judged. Do working out and improving one's physique take athletic ability? Yes. But winning on the stage it comes down to preparation, presentation, and conditioning on top of what standards the judges are using.
It's basically beauty contest.

Not all sports are created equal, and there are varying degrees of "athleticism"....posing and displaying one's physique IS athletic...try it some time....if you can. There is NO athleticism or degree is standing there like a beauty pageant)...which are why they are called PAGEANTS, not competitions, or a sport.

Chick,
I sometimes forget you have a good sense of humor. :)
I understand why you wouldn't want to be "Model" or "Pageant contestant rights" Rep., but come on dude.... Posing!!??
I'm not against bodybuilding (aside from all the gayness it attracts) but its participants are ultimately judged on appearance so it's not a sport. Sure, posing requires practice and developing muscle memory. Hell.. I'll even give you that doing it while intentionally dehydrated/starved/depleted makes it harder but it's still flexing muscles, man. On top of that someone with better genetics, diet, drugs would still beat a better poseur.
Chicks that do Miss America go to the gym, eat right, tan, etc... all you guys need is to add a question/answer event to make things complete. I'd love to hear how bodybuilders would solve world hunger and other important issues. :)

BB is a competitive contest coupled with mild pagentry and some milder elements of sport in that there is some energy expended through posing and a body of judges and set of rules is employed to determine a contest winner. The weight training done without the BB contest could be considered sport, but the BB contest itself is really not....it isn't a sport and it isn't a pagent...it is a contest.

I've been to shows and sat through prejudging. It's just a serious stretch to assert posing itself (displaying muscles) is a sport.
I'm not saying showing up in perfect condition doesn't take lots of hard work and discipline, that would be stupid. It's just not a sport. If that were the case every guy posing at the gym between sets should be considered an athlete, LOL!
In the end it still comes down to looks, not athletic prowess. The only similarity is some people up there being judged (on looks) have superior genetics but they can still lose to people who have prepared better because conditioning is so important. Like I wrote earlier, hitting the poses right, making the turns and so on takes a certain level of skill but it ain't a sport.
