Just lmao at bodybuilders referring to themselves as 'athletes'

Definition of an athlete;

'a person trained or gifted in exercises or contests involving physical agility, stamina, or strength; a participant in a sport, exercise, or game requiring physical skill.'
Dictionary.com

Last time I checked, bodybuilding required none of these with the exception of getting stronger to gain more size, but again, you're not judged on your strength, you're judged on your appearance on stage.

Brb, having elite genetics, copious amounts of skittles on hand, and the time to lift weights and shove down copious amounts of food all day then subsequently starving yourself makes someone an athlete. Doesn't matter if you can't walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded.

It's more an art to me, but why are you so mad about it?
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

You're on a bodybuilding forum making fun of bodybuilders?

Bodybuilders are some of the hardest working, most dedicated, most disciplined people I've ever met.

No one should be referring to themselves as athletes anyway. If you're an athlete, people will know without having to hear your claims.

You train yourself to learn proper form, you train yourself and your body by doing exercises. You compete in competitions that involve stamina and strength. Have you ever been on stage before? Just stand in front of your bathroom mirror and stay flexed while hitting different poses for 15-20 minutes straight.

I'm not saying it's the toughest sport ever, but for crying out loud this is a bodybuilding forum and you're taking away what these people work so hard for because you think running up and down a court shooting a ball into a basket is more athletic then someone who trains consistently every day.

Judging by your avi and assuming it's actually you, I'm shocked that you're agreeing with OP.

Right, cause while on 'roids you just grow automatically without having to work hard and stay focused and disciplined. notsureifsrs.

I agree with you on the second part however, guys need to start being upfront about usage.

You take yourself way too seriously, and help contribute to this ****gy gym fad that has swept the nation.

Nobody ever said they don't work hard
Nobody says it isn't a very difficult thing to do

But you have to be able to poke fun at yourself and see things how they truly are. The actual competition aspect of bodybuilding is not a sport. It is literally a beauty pageant for men. The way bodybuilders obtain those muscles is athletic, but I wouldn't necessarily call someone who lifts weights a few times a week an athlete just because they lift weights, otherwise every single gym goer is an athlete. I think the word athlete used to mean a certain type of individual, but now it seems everyone wants to label themselves as athletes.

Again, bodybuilders are very hard working and dedicated, but are not people I consider athletes. Other opinions will vary.

No, I just get rustled when I sign into a bodybuilding forum and see people put shame on the sport.

And I'd have to strongly disagree with you on the contribution thing. I'm not here posting about selling you my new supplement line or some fuk'n t shirts. I'm defending the sport of bodybuilding. If you think Arnold, or Ronnie, or Jay, or any of the other top names contribute to the "****gy gym fad" then you're dead nuts.

Umm, no actually you don't. It's not a miracle drug. I'd strongly recommend doing some research on it. Juice is the most misconstrued thing in bodybuilding.

I would say they are athleticism but not in thentradtional sense cause they are fighting and competing against them self. Its a paradox and it drives them as it does anyone who works out hard.


Sometimes you can be the hardest opponent you will ever face. You. Challenge yourself.

I use to love that feeling. You go running/jogging and tell your seklf three miles and at the endmof tjenfitrst you are already cramping and hurting and dry heaving. But push through it and fight it.

No drug in The world compares to the feeling you have when you finish and you beat yourself.

I'd give every substance in thee world away in a heartbeat if I could find that person inside me again

Nah, like there are literally studies showing ppl on cell tech grow more when doing nothing that non-cell tech users who train.http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056...0101#t=article
The men in the testosterone-alone and placebo-plus-exercise groups had significant increases in the one-repetition maximal weights lifted in the squatting exercises, averaging 19 percent and 21 percent, respectively (Table 4 and Figure 1)
So this study shows, among other things, that bench press increases were similar given this exact case.
