Re: Bodybuilder vs Weightlifter
haah arnold classic is sweet, they have a ton of cool stuff going on.
I watched a guy bench 1000 pounds couple years ago. they have ufc fights, strongman stuff. They had a marine pull up station where if you could do 20 pullups you got a t shirt. They had alot of people trying but could not get it. Then this 10 year old gymnastic girl comes up and bust out 30 like it's her job.

Another Poll
  Another in my ongoing series scientifically investigating the tastes of world citizens. Which body type is closer to your ideal (understanding that none will be a perfect fit), any one of the three beauty contestants or Barney Fife?

Re: Bodybuilder vs Weightlifter
Strong bodybuilders are out there, Arnold, Yates, Coleman etc., because they train much like powerlifters do occasionally during their training.
They realized getting big was a lot easier if they had the strength to lift monster weights. But bodybuilders in general are no where near as strong as they look, as most are more concerned with pumping up their muscles with lighter weights in front of the mirror. Their muscles are large due to sarcoplasmic hypertrophy and a good pump, neither of which is going to do much for ones strength.

Re: Bodybuilder vs Weightlifter
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] can a body builder like cutler even play golf or basketball? i mean jesus christ, these guys have trained to the point where they basically have close to the same afflictions as the obese. who cares if it is muscle or fat, they look ridiculous and can't even do normal things. Does Cutler have someone wipe his ass? [/ QUOTE ] i may have posted this somewhere on here before, but it seems fitting for this thread: i met jay cutler when he came to the grand opening of a muscle max store here in my hometown. here is what i saw/my impression. nice guy. looks super fat in clothing, but freaky nonetheless. could barely and i mean barely walk up a incline (think wheelchair ramp, but longer) w/o a huge struggle, heavy breathing, looking like an old man. movmement of a day to day basis seemed extremely limited and difficult for him, very very lumbering. took about 2 dozen pills when he ate dinner to aid with digestion etc. etc. he made an off handed joke about liver issues and what not. i think his daily pill consumption may be close to triple digits and it seemed to be more for trying to survive than thrive (that is opinion on my part, but that was the impression) his head is very disturbing irl. he could not compete athlectically in anything probably ever in this lifetime, and i mean casually not competitively, like good luck shooting hoops w/ the boys etc. like the quote above says. did i say he was a nice guy? because he was very nice. i hate to say i felt sorry for him, but wow. what a terrible way to live imho. even (for some crazy reason that i will never ever figure out) you wanted to look this way the consequences of doing so seem way way too high to me. as a side note to show that i met gunther schlierkamp (mr. o competitor, pro bodybuilder) and he seemed to be none of the things jay way. seemed much less freaky too. so maybe some of is all in the level you take it to. sad to say that the bodybuilding ideal (mr. o winner) is so far away from healthy and vital in the real world. later. J. [/ QUOTE ] thanks for the TR

Re: Bodybuilder vs Weightlifter
Hmmm. The bodybuilders are doing a bit better, but Barney Fife is getting a huge majority. I suspect there would be more defections if I went with an older, shoulders past the point of no return, Don Knots (Mr Furley?). It's too late, but I should also say that it was probably unfair to allow voters to imagine Barney giving Andy unsolicited parental advice ("You've got to nip it in the bud, Andy. Nip it. In the bud.") Future voters: please don't do that.
I'm guessing voters would prefer the option of adding body mass as opposed to being faced with a huge reduction, but I'm not exactly clear on the margin of error.
