The reason is that there is alot of truth to it. Craig titus wakes up eats, lifts for 3 hours, then takes a nap then trains and eats some more. This is not a brillant scientist but rather an animal. All the time spent over traing, eating, and sleeping, could be used to devop the mind.
I myself do lift, and know that I could use it to read but I use exercise as a fun break, like a hobby.

You should know that intelligence is a capacity and wisdom is what you know. You're misconstruing them. Anyway, if someone says "Bodybuilders are dumb" they're just being prejudice, usually out of jealousy.Originally posted by Termmy51

Think about this. Since I've gotten into bodybuilding, I've been reading alot of posts and articles about it. Does that hamper my knowledge? Hardly. Bodybuilders don't spend like an entire day at a time in the gym. I am in the gym no more than 3.5 hours a week. I'm in school for 40 hours. So that's 43.5 hours that I don't learn anything, but all the rest of the time I'm trying to keep my mind sharp.

Being all that I can be is simply not good enough. I will be better.
Body building is 40% lifting, 40% diet and 40% sleep. And it's always going to be 120% dedication.

I'll tell you a few reasons people hate bodybuilders. First off, the 15 year old kids that weigh 145 and call themselves, "Bodybuilders". Personally, I love lifting weights, and improving my body, it makes me look and most importantly feel better. However, I feel that there has to be balance in life, and in my opinion, some guys take it too far. They live in the gym, take excessive amounts of gear, carry a tub of water everywhere, etc. Also, having a great physique is a good thing, but most people dont find a huge 270 pound guy attractive or appealing.

What about other athletes who play basketball or football and waste their days exersising and training? are they stupid too?If violence didnt solve anything there would be no wars.

02-10-2004, 05:21 PM #22I too take AP and honors classes. Though I do have one question, as far as I know.. There is no such thing as a GPA over 4.0. I live in Washington and none of the highschools go above 4.0. Ditto for my cousins HS's in New York.Originally posted by rangerkid2187

02-10-2004, 05:26 PM #23Hey genius you spelt "Generalize" wrong.. Typo, sure.. Whatever. But do you seriously believe bodybuilders don't tend to be a little.. Unintelligent? Because from what I've seen they arn't to "sharp". Personally I would like to think otherwise, but the truth is to apparent..Originally posted by surfer

It's sad that I'm the first to indicate that even within all these trite numbers the brain behind it can be potent irrespective of numerical ascertations. Just because people have intellect doesn't mean they are required to indulge in its potential; any given person may perform spectacularly academically and not be quite that intelligent likewise. The capacity to cogitate with knowledge as a resource instead of a crutch is a rare and precious commodity that remains often untapped- and sometimes that's the way it should be. If a given individual feels that their path is in the body regardless of the capability of their mind, more power to them.

Listen to the way ronnie coleman talks, thats why people think bodybuilders are dumb.
Anyway, I have a theory that heavy lifting gradually makes you dumber.

Re: Why people think Bodybuilders are dumb.
Its you and your bad spelling that brings a bad name to all of us. And Craig Titus GETS PAID TO DO THAT. Whats the difference between doing that and some skinny *** getting up at 6 every morning to go to work at 7, sit in front of a computer, and press buttons all day. Thats a robot. Id rather be an animal then a robot.Originally posted by Termmy51
