Why is bodybuilding predominantly a manlet "sport"

is it really coz manlets fill out their frame better and more easily achieve that 3d look or whatever, or is it actually coz actual non-manlet athletes compete in actual sports where they're not limited by a small frame and short stature

Easier to fill out when you are a manlet.

However, arnold and lou were not manlets at all.

Manlet bodybuilding is more of a thing of recent years.

Manlets have the frame to look freaky and impressive when they add a lot of mass.

Tall dudes just end up just looking like swimmers when they get equally as jacked.

Love the quotation marks around "sport". That's the real diss. The height reference is more of a side note.

It shouldn't be lol. A slim athletic look is much better when you're 5'5.

bodybuilding not being a sport has never been up for dispute

more like a beauty pageant, except with metric buckets of steroids and clandestine ****gy time sexual favors involved

Because women are naturally attracted to tall men so they have to do something to get any attention.

Not if your aesthetic. I know a couple of guys that are slim and average build at about that height and I know a couple of guys that are bodybuilders about that height. If I were a turbo manlet I'd take muscle all day erra day.

Misc here is dead wrong, it isn’t easier to fill out being a Manley. It’s cause someone with the genes to be a pro bb and is also tall would rather do a sport that pays a lot of money. Why bodybuild for almost no pay when you could make millions per year playing football?
Best lifts:
Bench press: 315x5
Squat: 465x1
Strict press: 205x5
Deadlift: 405x13 (conv tap'n'go with straps)

So lifting weights isn't considered a sport? Here's the definition of sport boyo.

sport spôrt►
n. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
n. Such activities considered as a group.

Seems like a sport to me dunce. How do you think you build those muscles in the first place?

Interesting

the only thing is that the bodybuilding judging criteria isn't at all related to one's lifting capabilities or exertion either in or outside the gym u doodoo head
