I also like this video of Ronnie:
Those must be at least 35lb dumbells, and he reps them like it’s nothing.

Let’s see then Chess could be considered a sport as well according to you definition, as there is physical movement involved.
Posing in a skimpy swim suit…Mighty poor excuse for a sport…mighty poor!
My girlfriend plays international chess and gets very arsy if anyone suggests that it’s not a sport!

Dimas cleaned and jerked about 2.5 times bodyweight. Suleymanoglu hit nearly 3 times bodyweight in the Clean and jerk. Columbu deadlifted 700 at 180.
Coleman is big and strong but I’ll be impressed when he lifts 2.5 x bodyweight over head.
Well that’s talking “pound-for-pound” strength. Dimas is muchhhh lighter than Coleman thus being able to C&J 2.5x BW. However I’m also sure that Coleman probably couldn’t even Oly lift his weights even though hes heavier but I’ve never seen a video of him Oly lifting anyways. He’s good at his sport, Dimas is good at his.
Hey…I didn’t know that Coleman played a sport. What sport does he play?
Bodybuilding, ya smartass pussy.
Well…I don’t consider bb a sport. Do you?
Define the criteria for “sport.”
“A sport consists of a physical and mentally competitive activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or some combination of these. [bold] A sport has physical activity, [/bold] side by side competition, self-motivation and a scoring system. The difference of purpose is what characterises sport, combined with the notion of individual (or team) skill or prowess.”
Yes, bodybuilding is a sport…[/quote]
Theres no physical activity in a bodybuilding competition - I wouldn’t consider flexing to be an “activity” at any rate, but now we’re splitting hairs. There’s LOTS of physical activity in preparing for a bodybuilding show, but theres no scoring system, nor any side by side competition. So neither the show, nor the training would qualify as a sport.

I have to agree here. You could tell who should win a BB contest by putting guys on rotating pedastals and looking at them. Or you could ask Joe Weider who he has penciled in to win for the next decade.

Not by my definition, its called a dictionary.
Have you ever seen those 5 min. chess games?
Your all acting like the title “sport” is something coveted. Golf, Curling,…

Try Fkexing sometime.
There is a points scoring system.
And there is side by side competition.

I AGREED that there is a points scoring system, and that there is side by side comparison during the actual show. That why I said that in TRAINING there are no points, nor any side by side competition. As I said, considering flexing to be an “activity” is really stretching things…
