I am just curious as to what everyone else out there thinks as to the definition of a bodybuilder. Many will say only us who are freakish muscular are bodybuilders. Others will say we may be small in comparision however we are working toward a common goal of gaining mass, so we are bodybuilders. Most guys will say anyone who is not 200 + lbs. at 12% bodyfat is a poser. I disagree with that entirely. The web definition of a bodybuilder that I found is as follows.
"someone who does special exercises to develop a brawny musculature"
"Bodybuilding is the sport of developing muscle fibers through the combination of weight training, increased caloric intake, and rest. Competitive bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points."
I think Steve Prefontaine said it best, "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."
Let us know how you feel regarding this subject and be honest so we can have an interesting discussion regarding this post.
