Doesn't life suck when you don't know which camp your in?!

I'm a bodybuilder who likes to lift heavy and I'm doing a strongman comp in a few months but plan to do more bb comps next year .. what does that make me?

I have to laugh when people slag bodybuilders off especially when that's what they started out as ..most bb'ers respect the strength sports, shame that respect doesn't work both ways. There seems to be this elitist snobbery that comes with strength sports that what they do is more manly and pure .. what a load of f**king bo***cks.

Training and dieting for a bb comp is f**king hard graft .. mentally and physically .. if you don't think it is then give it a go and see if you can stick it out.

You bench more than you squat?



There is actually no hope for you, give up now

I would like to hazard an educated guess that more than 90% of powerlifters are closet bodybuilders so you're not alone mate!

So true mate.

Bench only meets? 210@105 is a tidy bench.

Miss World may have five masters, a phd in physics and be capable of winning the nobel prize - but who the f**k cares!!!! - nobody gives a flying f**k what she had to do to get said appareance!

Yeahhhh good old matt haha

Fairpoint if she could squat 300kg or deadlift 700lb or somethin id be very f**kin impressed ha

If she achieved her goal of world peace she might actually win the Nobel prize.

and your point is? competitive bodybuilding is hard work, powerlifters just eat cheese and wear leotards don't they????

Yes, they find leotars somewhat more appealing than oiling up wearing a thong and getting pumped with a room full of equally scantily clad men.

But no you right, bodybuilding is the hardest non sport out there I am sure.

Did I say it was the hardest? No, just that it's hard! Powerlifting can't be much harder cos you only have to
lift it for 1 rep after all

This is true; however it is measured simply against another guys 1 rep - biggest weight wins - simples.

When how the fake tan or oil was applied, who used the correct moisturiser or masturbated over themselves in the mirror sufficiently before stepping onstage for what is essentially a beauty contest masquerading as a sport it just goes a little too far.

Do you have to say you want world peace too? What is your talent on stage? Perhaps it’s being the most narcissistic self obsessed egg smelling homoerotic piece of ass on stage?
Spending more time in the bathroom than a woman?
How many points do you have on your Boots advantage card?

I started going to the gym purely to work on my guns and sixpack when I was 18 like most I believe. After a few years I was getting bored with the same old routine and decided to get holdof a certain Mr. Hollands on myspace, I didn’t expect him to respond but he did and after giving me some advice he pointed me into the direction or Will / Al at the obsolete devonstrongman camp. Everything changed for me then.

Like Matt I was shocked that you bench the same as you squat, this is very bbuilder like in my experience.



While a part of me still can't see the appeal of getting up on a stage wearing a sparkly thong I have since learnt to respect those who have the guts to do it. I've found there is generally a mutual respect between those BBuilders who actually compete and the PLifters / Strongmen. The problem is normally the knobheads who train like body builders but never get up on a stage.
