Ofcorse i dont.But,u might wanna read what i was replying to:
"Bodybuilding is a lifestyle. Anyone who follows this lifestyle is a bodybuilder.
An individual who competes professionally is a professional bodybuilder."
U can feel free to call urself a maid though

well i eat well, lift weights and throw a football everyday with my buddies at lunch. does that make me a football player? your arguement has holes all over it brah. what else do you besides "bodybuilding"? obviously you eat everyday, probably more then once, does that make you a cook or a chef? nope!

What is this,do u need a specific timeline in how long one should lift,cook,or clean
to be called a bbuilder,chef or a maid?
I dont work out,i train.I train hard.I have a speciffic diet.Supplementation.
Sometimes my training hurts.Sometimes i feel like vommiting.Sometimes i vommit coz of it.
And i like it that way.I build muscle."BodyBUILDING".I gain fat.I find ways to lower its percentage.Its been so for years.Its a lifestyle.
Wheter i compete or not doesnt make a difference at all,or wheter im 130 or 260 lbs at the moment.I interpret ,myself the way i already said it.
Your interpretation of me is one of your free will,i am just stating the obvious.
After all,besides learning a few things and helping some ppl, we are here to disagree.
Sadly,some are here only to troll.

Not sure why "functionality" and "bodybuilding" have to be mutually exclusive?

because bodybuilders use techniques that isolate and take away issue regarding stabilization. And by funcitonality I basically mean strength.

I think you'll find that many bodybuilders (but not all)are very fragile people and sometimes need something to hang their hat on. Such as calling themselves bodybuilders even though no other activity or profession could you do (not do) the same nor would anyone outside of the sport call them bodybuilders. It's better to just let it go or not and put their emotional fragility on display

When do the hugs start?

I wasn't going to get into this sh*t but since you so adamantly voiced your opinion on the subject.

Let me get this straight...So if I specifically diet and train for years to build muscles all over my body but never choose to compete on stage and become professional, I'm not bodybuilding? What the Hell would you call it then? What is the pure definition of body building anyways?

That would be like saying weekend tennis players and golfers are not allowed to call them selves tennis players or golfers because they don't compete against Roger Federer or Tiger Woods.

Levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced, professional) encompass ownership of a title. Not just the top echelon.

[DJAuto]

No sympathy for the immense amount of misconception and misinformation rampant among some individuals in this thread.

This thread was quite funny, but a bit drawn out. I think everyone was coming from different points of view, trying to argue diffrent things, one minute saying something good then the next something stupid. Twas truley a mess!

I can only speak for myself. When I post in any thread, I post from many years' real, uninterrupted gym and kitchen experience. I've been training longer than many of the 'experts' in this forum have been out of diapers.

I'm not going to waste any of my valuable time arguing with any of them. People who read my advice can take it for what it's worth to them, or not. Makes no difference to me.

The only thing else I'll add to this sorry thread is that you get 20 years' experience in 20 years, and not 1 or 2 years of arguing on teh netz.

If people want to remain closed-minded to different ideas, that's their prerogative, and also their loss.

Not sure if you are being defensive to my comment or just adding to it. Either way, yes everybody should speak from their own experience. Although I do acknowledge that people can debate and talk about what they believe as long as they acknowledge that it just that. Their belief. Problem is most cant admit fault and argue for the sake of character to 'hold face'.

No, Matt, not being defensive towards you at all.

boy will you be sorry when you realize that these folks were the ONLY ones who ever took a physiology class or read a book and tried to apply it to bodybuilding...
