The Greatest athlete in the World

[buildingup]

next time remember to include 'in my opinion' in your posts.

This is dragging on, forget it.

everything is opinion in bodybuilding, if you were a dedicated bodybuilder you would know that! nobody is the same so what will work for someone may not work for someone else so what they say is totally opinionated!

F-O-R-G-E-T I-T.

This debate is a waste of time for both of us.

Let's agree to disagree

Well you have tryed to portrait me as somebody who knows little about bodybuilding with the two month comment! But i'll drop it!

Go to the Olympics and shatter some world records, and create some new ones...

Then I would work with kids and promising young athletes for 5 years...

That would have better than anything I have done with my life.
I've done some cool things, but not on that grand a scale,
where you could effect the entire world

Worthwhile post -

 

[MuscleM4n]

No it wasn't monkey man

I think that is a very nice thought

 

[Tough Old Man]

They only way I'd answere yes to that is if I had a disease and already knew I was going to die in 5 years. Otherwise fuck no


Tough but not stupid

the thread says athlete. BB'ers are not athletes. their competition has nothing to do with athletics. It is an overgrown beauty pagent.

Read about a poll given to athletes years ago. If they could take a pill and be the best in the world at their sport but they would die in a year or something like that.....this is a modification of that idea.

There is the top echelon.

There are many greats.

And sometimes there is a person who is or was the "best."


But usually this isn't the case, mate.


There are many greats.....

What the fuck are you talking about
It's a hypothetical question

 

[Arnold]

I cannot believe you aint heard of him. He is known as the most ripped person to go on stage ever.

I know of him, he was one of the most ripped and striated bodybuilders ever.

 

[Arnold]

If I were around 20 years old I probably would say yes to this, but at my age now, absolutely not. There is so much more to life, once you have a family of your own it changes your outlook completely and living a long healthy life becomes extremely important.

 

[themamasan]

I would be satisfied with the title of the second greatest athlete in the world and live a full life.

What tha fuc do u think? I throught I made stupid polls!

 

[god hand]

tough question.

Yes that is a really TOUGH question!

 

[P-funk]

Yes that is a really TOUGH question!

??

 

[god hand]

??

Thats not a tough question!

 

[P-funk]

Thats not a tough question!

sure it is.

 

[god hand]

sure it is.

So would u sell your soul?

 

[P-funk]

So would u sell your soul?

I don't know.

 

[god hand]

I don't know.

I bet you dont

 

[P-funk]

I bet you dont

it is a tough question. part of me says yes because being an athlete you just fucking love the game. Part of me says "no" because...well, it is your life. Although, if you could live it on the top for 5 years wouldn't it be worth living?

Sure I'd do it. I'd be the top BB of all time, and right afterwards I'd start a family and have lotsa kids. I'd cherish every single last second of those 5 years knowing I was gonna die and probably get more out of life than most people do because everyone thinks they're gonna live forever.

Is that insane?

I'll quote Garland Green from Conair to try and aid my reasoning...
"What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?"

 

[The Monkey Man]

[Eggs]

Yeah Flex, but I dont know if that was exactly what he was talking about.

But yeah, living a boring ass life without any happiness does sound like it blows.

I dont think that you'd have to be the #1 BB in the world to accomplish that though.

I make some related to body building........you should try that some time.

On the morning of 13 March, Andi's stomach pains became intense. His gut was swollen and hard. His bill had come in. He was fairly sure that this time he couldn't meet it. The debt was too big. The agony grew.

He was taken to hospital. Doctors there diagnosed the bleed, but could not prevent it continuing. He was transferred to the University Clinic. At 7pm, surgeons decided to operate to stop the bleeding inside Andi's stomach. Andi came through the operation, but his problems had multiplied catastrophically. His blood was viscous and slow-moving. His potassium levels were excessively high. He had been dehydrated by the diuretics he used in the days before his last competitions. His liver was melting. A post-mortem would find that it had dissolved almost completely. Andi's body went into shock. After his liver failed, his kidneys did too. He was offered a blood transfusion, but it was too late. Andi's heart held out for a while - he had always had a big heart - but by morning Munzer had joined the ranks of the bodybuilding dead.

Arnold Schwarzenegger sent a wreath from Hollywood to Andi's grave in Styria. The message was simple. It read: 'A last greeting to a friend.'

ANdreas is so great, R.I.P my friend.

P-funk yes i consider bodybuilders to be athletes. I also consider bodybuilding to be the hardest sport in the world 'in my opinion only'.

 

[SubliminalX]

Being the "best athlete" in the world requires probably 10+ years of performance in their sport. So this question applies more to single season records and/or individual event performances. That makes for an easy no.
