Do you consider yurself a bodybuilder?

[Mr I]

I do, no doubt about it

[ROCKETW19]

no I don't I actually think "most" BBer look like shit
I would love to look like arnold when he did all his movies

[Herc]

Modern day bodybuilder look is just not practical. Just a gym rat here.

[redback]

Definitely not.

[BEAST]

Nope! Not me. :grin:

[Bouncer]

No I just consider myself to have the ideal spartan warrior build.

[Mr I]

So nobody is a bodybuilder, yet you came to a bodybuilding forum?

Interesting...

[MattG]

I try but due to my garbage genetics i will unfortunately probably never leave gym rat status.lol. it's not like i sleep, eat, and breathe bodybuilding from the time i wake up till i go to bed either though. If I wasnt married with a kid things might be different, but i will have to say im a "aspiring" bodybuilder.lol

[Chadd77]

When I first joined this forum, yes. Now, no.

You look and train as a bodybuilder IMO
Being a bber doesn't mran you must compete every year

[Chadd77]

I know being a bodybuilder means something different for everyone. To me being a bodybuilder means you compete. It's getting on stage. Putting yourself through hell for many months to look your very best for a couple hours. That's why I don't consider myself a bodybuilder.

I was almost a bodybuilder again before my accident last October. :grin:

I think at this point we all realize that we can no longer live the bodybuilder life style. We all have families, kids, jobs, responsibilities that will not allow us to live the selfish life styles that bodybuilders live.

Yup, it is a selfish lifestyle. My wife knows I would still love to compete. She told me I should do another show but she has no idea what that means. I would never do that to my family. And when my kids are grown I'd be as old as Mr I is now.

[Mr I]

Lol @beast being a martyr,

You were close but had an accident, but you have kids, and you consider it selfish to bodybuild.

If I had kids id be on 250mg test ew and thats it but id still bodybuild if only twice a week

Doesn't matter 2 fucks what you consider or call yourself. Its about what you look like when the shirt comes off...
