Thread: Strongest Athletes

Its based on looks, while standing around in your underwear. What would you call it?

Asthetically pleasing, not athletically pleasing. I hardly see bodybuilding making it to the Olympics.

BBW = me. he was asking if i really want to actually compete in something .

I never said that, not even remotely close. I was telling my own story of bulking being a pain in that I was cooking, eating, crapping and working out almost every free minute of the day when I was bulking some time ago to the tune of 5400-6500 calories daily. That is maintenance calories for plenty of those guys, a ton of work goes into it.

However, standing on a stage being judged on your LOOK is not an athletic event. Bodybuilding is about illusion, and crafting your body for a LOOK. It is not based on how far you can throw an 11 pound ball, which is an athletic event.

Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy is not athleticism to me. Call them athletes if you want, it is sport-like work. However it is not an athletic event.

Construction workers work as hard as either PLers or BBers, but I don't consider construction workers athletes.

how about guys in warehouses unloading trucks.

What's in the trucks?

whatever blows your hair back.

I wouldn't say that they don't work hard! They work damn hard. I think what they do it amazing. I even think that they look pretty cool. But, that doesn't change the fact that they aren't athletes. Their contest has nothing to do with being athletic. Plus, the outcome is subjective. It isn't as clear cut as saying...I scored more points I win...or, I lifted more weight....etc...So, how can that be an athletic competition? It isn't! They are judged, just like the Miss America Pageant. Not saying that they don't work hard. Not saying that they don't look great and show off their hard work well but it has nothing to do with sports or athletics.

On a side not, I am not being bitter. I have compteted in BBing before so I can honestly tell you....a) it is hard and (b) it is not a sport.

I figured my comments about feces were about as productive as the threads that Lee Delroy posts.

that is not fair to say, it is what it takes for a bb to get on stage that makes them an athlete, maybe the competition itself is not "athletic" per se, but the preparation is more athletic than any other sport, you should know you competed.

I see your schwartz is as big as mine.. now lets see how you handle it

lifting weights doesn't make the athletes to me. Their competition is not athletic so they are not athletes.
