Mr Olympia Weekend

Nope, I'm six foot three actually.

Just pointing out that there's something pathetic about a contest that involves men fawning over the bodies of half-naked men dressed in thongs whilst drugged up to the max. And then some people actually refer to it as a sport.

I don't really know anything about the sport but I'd hardly call something which requires a lifetime of dedication and training, pathetic. You have to respect their work ethic, the ones who do it naturally at least.

The millions of fans would disagree, but, whatever.

Millions of people also think the likes of One Direction and Justin Bieber are examples of great music. Bodybuilding is just an industry that has forever played on the insecurities of young men.



First of all, you won't find a single natural bodybuilder at a competitive level. They wouldn't stand a chance against the others. Yes, sometimes they have drug testing, but it's common knowledge that they're easy to beat. Natural bodybuilding is practically an oxymoron in itself.

Just because it requires a lifetime of dedication and training doesn't validate it. I could spend my whole life dedicated to smashing my head against a brick wall. At the end of it the only thing I've proven is that I'm really good at dedicating myself to a pathetic pursuit. Points for dedication but it doesn't validate the bodybuilding movement in the slightest.

The whole drugs debate is stupid. Professional athletes from all sorts of sports use PEDs. Get over it. Sport would be crap without them.

Ok you don't like bodybuilding. Thanks for the input.

If you could make a new thread discussing how you dislike the sport and let us discuss the me olympia that'd be great.


Talking with you is like banging your head against the wall, so do us all a favour and move along.

Plays on the insecurities of young men? You, my friend, are the insecure one. You're against the bodybuilding lark because you're a 6ft 3 skinny bean pole and you're jealous because they look like Greek gods and are able to get girls as wet as October.

You've made your point.



or




Now leave.

At 15 stone I must be the bulkiest beanpole in the world today.

And if you're going for such a body to get women then that makes you the insecure one. The fact is if you honestly disagree that bodybuilding isn't designed to attack the insecurities of young men, largely, then the chances are you're delusional.

I mean if you look at actual sports like powerlifting or strongman or whatever you're actually competing on a performance level, as in who is the strongest. Bodybuilding is essentially a competition over who can take the most drugs and who can give a judge the biggest erection.

Hardly, because if it was, any old fool would be able to take drugs and enter the Olympia. If your average person took drugs to bodybuild, they would look average on an amateur stage and not go any further. Drugs are only a part of the parcel. It clearly shows how little you know about the sport of bodybuilding. 99% of people on this forum wouldn't look good on stage, that's the reality of it.

I'm not going for such a body, I know I won't achieve it. I bodybuild for fun. I am happily engaged to be married.

I don't see anything gay about it. I expect someone who inclined to homosexuality sees it where ever they look.

The whole drugs debate is stupid. Professional athletes from all sorts of sports use PEDs. Get over it. Sport would be crap without them.

Ok, you go around and ask everybody you meet the following question and see what answer they give you.

"Which of these two scenarios sounds more gay to you. Two men playing tennis against each other or two men prancing around a stage, covered in fake tan and baby oil, wearing a thong."

I'm pretty sure not many are gonna say the tennis.

The difference is that in most sports the guys on PEDs are in a tiny minority.

A "sport" which has been taken to a point where unless you're drugged up to the eyeballs you don't stand a chance, how exactly is that good in any way?
