Default Re: Bodybuilder vs Weightlifter

[ QUOTE ]
bad choice of pics imo.

who would want to look like cutler?

btw most weight lifters do NOT look like that lol. you should compare a 200 LB bodybuilder to a 200 LB weight lifter of similar height. i'd bet the vast majority would rather look like a 6' 215 LB bodybuilder as opposed to a 6' 215 LB weight lifter.

fwiw bodybuilding is a freak show these days.

poll arnold circa 1975 vs. that weight lifter in the pic in the OP and see what the poll says.


also, i'm down to 200 LBS if anyone gives a [censored]. probably will be 185 come April. 34's are baggy and the abs are coming in full force. bench is waaaaay down though. like, 375 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img], but [censored] it.

Olympic weight lifter?

Thing is, bodybuilders carry so much muscle at the same weight that they don't really look that much like regular lifters. A 215 pound 6 foot bodybuilder sounds like a pretty unexceptional one. A 215 pound olympic lifter would probably be several inches taller than a 215 pound bodybuilder.

So you'd have to compare by height, and forget comparing by weight, it seems.
