What a phaggot

"if you're a person who just wants to look good..."

He'll Yeah that's me!

"Bodybuilders aren't athletes..."

He'll Yeah thats me too!

Funny thing is I don't think any Pro bodybuilder is under the illusion they are athletic LOL.

Why do people think BBers are athletes?

mirin' but doubt this is the norm

I reckon . Bodybuilders and athletes are 2 different things with a few exceptions to olympic spinters etc who could pass for bodybuilders. This guy just couldnt make it as a bodybuilder. Valid points with the way our bodys can go when we get older and stop but thats exactly the same for an athlete to and its almost like he is trying to scare people away from lifting weights.

Bodybuilders are athletes! It's just that their discipline is different. While both considered athletes, a 100m sprinter is not really going to be able to compete against a marathon runner over long distances. I would also challenge any Olympic weightlifter ( an athlete in my estimation) to clear 2 m in the high jump.

Olympic weightlifters would have to be some of the most athletic out of all

sportsman.

I suppose what I am trying to get at is the terms of reference use for defining "athletic". Is is a persons ability to excel across sporting disciplines or is it ones ability to excel in a single discipline. Either person in my estimation is an athlete.

they train just as hard as any other athlete

id say bodybuilding is more of a freakshow than a sport

[thatwaslight]

Bodybuilders are judged on how they look and nothing else. They are not judged on any athletic component there for are not athletes.
