CALLIN YOURSELF A BODYBUILDER? ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO WORKS OUT A FEW TIMES A WEEK THEN HEADS TO MCDONALDS BUT YOU THINK YOURE A BODYBUILDER CAUSE YOU HAVE A GYM MEMBERSHIP? OR ARE YOU A SERIOUS TRAINER? SO WHEN DO YOU SAY "YES IM A BODYBUILDER"? DURING YOUR FIRST BULK? YOUR FIRST CONTEST DIET? OR WHEN YOURE FINALLY ON STAGE? JUST CURIOUS

Re: WHEN DO YOU START?
Thats a good question, Sarge. I think from the perspective of the general public, when they see someone who obviously works out, they label him/her a bodybuilder...If someone begins a "bodybuilding" workout for the purpose of adding muscle, then I guess he could say he is bodybuilding from the 1st day he walks in the gym. If someone competes, then they are most definitely defined as a bodybuilder.
That word Bodybuilder has never been something I fully embraced, even though I have competed in a lot of competitions over the past several years(Am still planning to compete again soon). We inside the sport often don't realize that a lot of the general public does not LOVE bodybuilders. We sometimes assume that everyone that sees us is going to think "Damn that guy looks great!"...But a lot of people see a bodybuilder and assume "What a douchebag"..LOL...thats the sad truth.
I also prefer calling them Bodybuilding Competitions or Contests vs a "show", because I do think it is an athletic feat to train to compete on stage. It is a sport that requires 24/7 dedication and discipline. So, I guess in the long run, being called a bodybuilder is pretty cool. I guess we could look up the Websters definition of bodybuilding. -

Re: WHEN DO YOU START?
I had two competitions behind me and I really haven't given it any thought until my bf at the time introduced me to a friend and said I was a bodybuilder. I started to correct him and then I thought yes, I was a bodybuilder.Comment

Re: WHEN DO YOU START?
i am absolutely not a body builder. but a i would define it as a person who works out to build their body. just because they arent big or cut dosnt mean they are they arent BBs. i mean i am a golfer and i only play a few times a year and suck really bad but i am indeed a golfer, right?"SHIAT BIOTCH, thats a big ass!"

Re: WHEN DO YOU START?
I've always considered it "training" as opposed to body building. A few of you above mention what i was going to say in terms of public view. I do get approached and asked if I am a body builder. I say no and that i train daily at the gym and eat right.Comment

Re: WHEN DO YOU START?
Agreed. If you go to the gym and train to build the body you want, I would classify that as a bodybuilder. I don't personally think you must compete to get the title. I hear a ton of people say that so and so is a MMA fighter because he trains in BJJ, Muay Thai, kickboxing, etc....but I don't think that's the case. You must fight to be a fighter, etc....Originally posted by BIGSARGE View Post"He woke up because I kept punching him in the face." --Thiago Alves

Re: WHEN DO YOU START?
I've fought in the cage, I've built my body from being skinny to somewhat more muscular. If any are like me then we are never big enough. I don't consider myself a competitor for trophies, just want to bigger and stronger. I guess it depends on what a person thinks a body builder is. I think it's more of a mind set. You are or you're not. I remember a signature of someone, "If you have to tell people your a body builder, then you're probably not".Comment

Re: WHEN DO YOU START?
I would say if you are actually competing then you are a bodybuilder. Also, and im sure many people will be upset with this comment, bodybuilding is not a sport IMO its an activity I guess. I have personal friends who have freaky good genes (in terms of pure size and "looks") and are massive who dont posses an athletic bone in their body.Comment

Re: WHEN DO YOU START?
I dont think the general public understands the sport of bodybuilding. Unfortunately, a lot of bodybiuilders think everyone totally appreciates the hard work and training that goes in to it. That is not the case. Many people make assumptions about you if you have bigger than normal muscles. These assumptions are often based on experiences they have had with bodybuilders who were arrogant, self-centered, egomaniacal BULLIES. Its a shame that some guys just cant handle being huge and they become total JERKS. It goes to their head. Then, people see you when you are in great shape and they will automatically judge you based on what they believe. They will assume that you are an A$$H0lE, too.
Heres what Im talkin about-This chick was telling me that she witnessed this dude at a public swimming pool that was packed with families and hot chicks..well, there was a big glass window near the pool and this guy would go and do his full posing routine while staring at himself in the glass. This guy is in incredible shape and has competed at Nationals but he has a reputation as a macho bully.This chick was telling me everyone was laughing at him. He had his ipod on and just kept posing and posing and posing...LOL...the dude had NO IDEA that he was making a fool of himselfComment
