Planet health upgrade

I’m gonna go with MMA

not overly big, but obviously ready for a war. the right blend between strength and endurance; form and function

You certainly could have picked better examples than Shogun.

.

fucking shitty shitty build
I’m so sick of the mma bandwagon, it’s seriously got the biggest bunch of tool followers out of any other bandwagon that’s been around.

for some reason i inwardly cringe whenever i see a bodybuilder. maybe for the fact that i know he has a hard time wiping his own ass

lyke?

he tested positive for steroids thats why i

sean sherk durrrrrr

the muscle shark

Dot.

it said which sport produces, I took this to meant which sport directly influences the physique they end up with at their prime.

Gymnastics would be this.

Football players maybe are the most athletically gifted going in, but that’s because that’s where the money is.
hockey players never need to train their legs, they are already huge

my ideal physique is that of some black sprinters
in all seriousness, rowers have pretty awesome phisiques

i was training at our gym with the australian olympic rowing team the other day
I would have to go with gymnastics first and football second.

Those MMA guys are nothing special "physique wise". They’re pretty much like your average gym-go’er: 15" arms, flat stomach, decent back, NO LEGS.

Gymnasts have great bodies and are all around athletic, and many of the best non-bodybuilder physiques in this country are by football players IMO.

THANK YOU!

People would pick MMA in this situation because its probably the biggest sport now where people compete with their clothes practically off.

It’s just like any other bandwagon.

never seen it before, but that looks pretty queer

Sure its queer looking but it shouldn’t bother you at all though if you’re comfortable with your sexuality and who you are.

I didn’t know it was a sport.

Personally I think submission wrestling yields some good physiques. Strong, fast, durable, and functional in every sense.

Football:

tony jaa for the hell of it:

I still cant get over TO’s body man.. Amazing!

280lbs of muscle man. Just look at these nipples man.

I completely agree give or take the guys who love MMA who actually train.

For a few months I was one of those bandwagon shitheads. Then I started training and don’t feel so guilty anymore.

I didn’t start training because of the UFC or anything, just coincidentally got back into BJJ after a long drought of no training.
Randleman and Sherk do a lot of weight lifting.

MMA itself doesn’t produce body builder bodies, especially when you consider the 3 best fighters in the world look like they have never stepped inside a gym. I prefer the way these guys look than a bodybuilder though TBH.

I enjoy MMA, but very few of them have that great of physiques. Personally I would like GSP’s build, but a lot of guys on here would say he’s small.

And I agree with gymnasts, the stuff they do requires ridiculous strength and athleticism.

lol @ MMA, what a tool.

most gymnasts have pretty good physiques, and practical strength.
i’d say the big ones have already been touched..

mma, football, rugby, gymnastics…

Gholston did not play football at Cass until his sophomore year and did not play on defense (at linebacker) until his senior year.[3] He was originally interested in bodybuilding and working out, buying fitness magazines and working out in his basement before he was a teenager.

who gives a shit. he’s a fucking beast either way

that’s not a typical football type body. that’s the point.
I’m gonna have to agree with the guy who said grappling. I remember even my kinesiology prof said that Greco wrestlers had the best physiques.

Amen. One of the toughest sports out there.
Gymnastics I would say.

In rugby, American Football, MMA, even wrestling, you can get elite guys that don’t have the best physiques.
gymnastics/wrestling for overall well toned evened out bodies.

swimmers, rowers, and sprinters are up there too

thank you
any sport that requires you to make weight normally has good physiques, just because that can’t afford to waste their bodyweight on fat. Seems like most of the people mentioned got their physiques from lifting weights which doesn’t really count as a body being produced by a sport. I think with this is mind, gymnastics would be the only sport that produces good bodies.

you can only pull off looking and acting like a douchbag if your the champion, now he is just some asian wearing eyeliner and a bad haircut who won’t put his shirt down.

depends on your individual idea of what a good physique looks like.

frankly, sure I KNOW they could kick my ass, but to just look at them they don’t look like anything special

B’s up, C’s down.

he said sport, bb’ing is not a sport

way of life?
Everyone who is saying football, rugby, and mma are morons. People with the great builds in these sports got their builds from lifting weights (so from bodybuilding) to have an edge in their sport, not from playing the sport itself.

Gymnastics was a good one.

Don’t forget about strongman.
@ people saying MMA

high level gymnasts/sprinters are definitely up top
i don’t think anyones said this yet, but what about swimmers? i mean, there not SWOLE but they all seem to have good proportions.

also, is sport fucking a sport?

yes…it’s the sport of kings…

yet he has a better body than you, and can still eat more than you

Nothing besides bodybuilding builds a physique like i like.

with that being said sports that deliver good physiques throughout time = swimming, sprinting, gymnastics, football.

all have been touched. i wouldnt want to look like any of them though.

and most mma fighters look like shit.

All day, errday son.

how do you figure?

I was just about to say this…

I think gymnastics definitely.
Just from Oly sports… I’d say top three would be:
Gymnasts, sprinters, wrestlers… honorable mention goes to divers IMO. At least for the men.

For the women… volleyball and maybe rhythmic gymnasts ?
Men: Gymnasts, sprinters
Women: Tennis, Volleyball, and sometimes soccer
RAPPING

lil wayne, 50cent, ll cool j, will smith, RO$$

.
i think mma fighters, but i’m a bit biased

but probably oly lifters, gymanists as far as functionality goes

no legs? you are dumb. Legs/back are the most important muscles used in wrestling and alot of these guys were national champs at some time. functional strength bro.
WWE is sports "entertainment."

if i had a body like that i certainly wouldn’t fuck it up with a faggy hairstyle and eyeliner. actually i don’t know if he has a good body or not, he always just pulls up his shirt to show off his abs. Maybe he would go back to winning if he stopped showing off his abs and started training for the comps.

while he was champ it was like "i’m the fucking best and im in better shape than the rest of the fat slobs who are my competition"
now its like "i got my ass handed to me by america (fuck yeah) please look at my abs"

well considering im the highest level bb’er here and dont consider it a sport…umm whats the athletic portion of what i do that makes you think its a sport…i pick shit up and eat and build muscles. A gorilla in the amazon was taught to dead lift in 5 minutes…pretty sure he didnt chuck a 50 yarder to an open chimp right after. It doesnt take any real skill to do what i do, just practice and patience and a really fucked up warped head.

To answer honestly, its more an art, or cult if you will.
realistically probably football, but just because they lift weights, the actual act of football isnt producing physiques.. bodybuilding is NOT a sport! it’s a beauty pagent. still sick, but not a sport.

Thanks you.

Anyway gymnastics produces some nice physiques. I know a 4′11" girl who is a gymnast and shes a ball of muscle. Got curves like whoa.

Im a flaming homo on purs ground now…please fuck my butt…

BULLFUCKING SHIT!!!!

What does it take to make something a sport? It’s physical, there are opponents, people go head to head, one guy wins, one guy looses, it has spectators, I mean really……what is your definition of sport? FUCK even poker tournaments get played on ESPN

Tell him how you really feel bro.

You’re slicker than gravel and more crafty than a crippled child

I just like looking at men all tanned and oiled up in speedos………….er um…I mean….I’m totally into chics bro!!!!!!!!!!!

Thigh envy is part of the attraction.

im not sure if youre being serious but plenty of pro bb’rs do not cosnider it a sport. it’s a beauty pagent.
you do not master anything physically in bodybuilding. you cannot prove your physical performance is greater than any other competitor, because there is nothing to perform.

bodybuilding is essentially the definition of a male beauty pagent. interestingly, most chick beauty pagents actually have some sort of physical portion of it. bodybuilding does not.

to assert that it is a sport is ridiculous.

Aim in brotha. Im so sick of all the skinny faggots that wearing black and white "tap out" shirt to try to convince strangers that they may in fact not be a complete pussy.

I agree I wouldnt really consider body building a sport either. Wouldnt consider strong man a sport in the same respect. They are both spectacles and the participants are masters of showmanship rather than athletes.

Bro, they may just be masters of jujitsu, bro.

incorrect, powerlifting and strongman are very much sports, because there is a physical act of performance in which one man is greater than the other. that is what defines sport. bodybuilding has no physical act in which one man shows his performance is greater.

on top of that, strongman no powerlifting has subjective judging. it is whoever wins, wins. there is a CLEAR winner and loser, bodybuilding doesn’t have that.

sport is physical mastery in a physical activity
and im not taking away from bb, HIGH level bb is up there with being one of the hardest things to do that very few humans can do.. but its not a sport. you must realize that SPORT and COMPETITION are not the same things.

i look at bb as more of an art of swole.

strongman yes, pl’ing no fucking way sorry, if anything its less then bb’ing. We lift the same shit and way but also diet and pose and alot of other shit.

That’s like saying college football and NFL are two completely different things.

They are not. It’s just that at one level you have the people at the pinnacle of fitness and the brains to do a hyperspecialized task.
gymnastics or maybe wrestling for guys

Running for girls

wat?

Yea but the defenition of a "sport" is subjective.

There is no agility or hand-eye corrdination involved in strong man/pl. Just lifting of heavy objects in a repetitive motionand pulling/carring things. Historically strong men where featured attractions in sideshows and spectacles for entertainment. Though it may not be subjective like bodybuilding it still is not really a sport. Unless you want to consider bowling, shuffleboard, figure skating, paintballing, skydiving, nascar racing sports.

A proffessional strong man pointed this out to me; he did not consider Strong man to be a sport.

pur, i agree with you that PL is a shit storm, but leave your dislike for it out of your opinions. PL is a sport, just like sumo wrestling is a sport, fat asses or not. because there is a clear and defined physical activity being performed with a clear and defined winner or loser.

yes, you lift weights etc and do all that, but thats on your own time, and at the end of the day its not under competitive settings. and when you’re done with your training, the way you show it is by standing on a stage being subjectively judged by a panel. in powerlifting, when you finish your training you step on a platform and compete in a clear and defined event where the winner lifts more than the loser in the same weight classes.

In response to "HIGH level bb is up there with being one of the hardest things to do that very few humans can do.. but its not a sport."

your argument is not really making any sense. you are arguing the way you are because you think i am hating on bodybuilding, and you are bringing up strongman because thats what i am involved in, not for any other reason.

strongman is a sport, its quite obvious that it is. bodybuilding as a sport is debated.. strongman, powerlifting, olympic lifting, etc.. are never debated. they are all sports. like them or hate them.

im not hating on strong man I think the shit is awesome, and I said so myself I dont even consider bodybuilding a sport. But I personally do not consider it a sport as others would agree that are involved with it (not you obviously). I dont consider it a sport in the same way I dont consider golf a sport or olympic high diving or gymnatstics which is largly dependant on subjective judges.

except that strongman is not dependent on subjective judging whatsoever.

im not sure what you think SM is or if youve actually ever watched it. but there is NO subjective judging at all. on a farmers walk, athletes compete and whoever is faster wins. simple as that. that is clear and defined. on a log press for reps, whoever gets the most reps in the alotted time is the winner, clear and defined. i could go on.. there is NO subjective judging in SM at all, not a hint of it. there is no style points or anything like that.

do you think SM is like it was in the old days, where people would just put on shows for crowds? that is not a sport. so if thats what youre talking aboit, youre correct.

but modern SM is just as much as a sport as anything else is. just like modern powerlifting is, or football, baseball, whatever. clear and defined winners and losers that out perform their competitors. keyword being physically out perform

i agree, they’re sports. yes, subjective judging takes a bit away from it, but they are sports because they are still actually physically performing. yes, a gymnasts double iron cross is subjectively judged, but he showing physical mastery and performance.

bodybuilding is a competition where the winner poses. what training goes into it has no effect on if its a sport or not. its a competition, an "art", and a ridiculously hard one at that.

Dude yes I’ve watched several strongman events… Yes I realize its not judged subjectivley but I dont consdier it a sport just because one guy had a faster time than another or lifted more weight. Its just big dudes lifting crazy shit. And in a sense it is subjective; there are judges deciding if someone went paralell or completed a lift….

and no golf is not a sport it is a great game.

I’m having a hard time seeing where bbing does not fall under the definition of sport. Words do mean things.

is track and field a sport? does it take any physical mastery to run as fast as you can. you can train a gorilla to run as fast as it can in 5 minutes.
bodybuilding is judged on aesthetics, there is no head to head score you retards. Its like an art gallery and the best piece aesthetically gets the blue ribbon.

don’t they have different rounds of posing and judge the competitors on size, proportions, etc?

umm actually fucking retard, your scored against each other in each round with a points system.

Track and Field doesn’t take physical mastery? You do know that includes decathlons, shotput, 100m dash, hurdles. No one wins the gold medal on raw ability, its training and technique that wins.

yes they do, kids a fucking idiot.

Ya but its not like you are fucking competing. 99% of the hard work is done before you get to the building you tardfucker.

there is technique in weightlifting, bodybuilding, powerlifting, whatever the fuck sport involves lifting weights. Just look at what happens when you put a kid in a gym who has never lifted before, does his form mimic that of a pro?

once again you’re a fucking idiot. The drying out, loading, color, is all done the day of as well. Stfu before i remove you from here. You annoy me.

no you really dont annoy me..just felt like saying it ya pile of scrotum lint
Judges score art too on various things. The art is done before it goes to the gallery. Just because different paintings are all on stage going against each other doesn’t make it a sport.

your mother is a sport…

same goes for fucking hurdles, sprints, all of that shit. its like 4 years of training for a 2 minute opportunity to shine.

no no, you’ve got it all wrong. I sport fuck his mother. and it gets me fucking swole because she’s a huge bitch

sad thing is… moms said you prepared for 4 years and couldnt even shine for 2 minutes.

And who the fuck sprints 100 meters in 2 minutes you fat fuck.

I can’t believe it’s not butter!

i did. I thought i was prepared, but she was much larger than i expected and i just couldn’t keep it up for so much woman. tell your mom i’m sorry.
My roommate always goes on and on about how boxing is the hardest and most athletically demanding sport out there. Also, that lifting, golf, track&field are not sports because there is no direct competition, i.e. what someone else does has no direct effect on your performance.

He also rants that the heavyweight champ used to be considered the Strongest Man in the world.

everytime you post, i lose a few brain cells

posing takes an emense amount of skill expierience to do in a fashion that will show of your physique the best. And when you do a pose down for an overall there is lots of technique to counter your opponent strengths and exploit weaknesses.

But you wouldnt know anything about that cause you spend all your time competeing with your boyfriend to see who can finger who’s ass the best. Your dad probably judges the competition while he suckles on your tiny puppy penis, and you feast on the wooly brim of his asshole.

its pretty subjective.
I think what’s considered "sport" and what isn’t is a spectrum rather than a yes or no answer.

You always hear people say something is a more "pure" sport than another if there’s say less rules, more flow, less equipment to deal with, etc.

BTW, we’re supposed to post pics in this thread

Strongman

insert picture of Ortmayer, Poundstone, Marunde and Nee
So would bodybuilding be considered a sport if they had used AIFM?
For purposes of this thread I have decided Bodybuilding is a sport. It is in fact the greatest sport in the world (all joking aside). All players, of all sports worship and envy the physique that "bodybuilders" have created. And although some might debate whether or not it’s a "sport" one cannot debate that it embodies the Ultimate physique.

unless you’re a fag.
The point is what physical activity gets you the best physique? Obviously BB (bareback, not bodybuilding ) is the best because that’s the whole point (whether it’s a sport or not). But take out lifting weights entirely and which athlete has the best build? I think either gymnasts or sprinters.

Obviously that includes you too.

Boxers, they have the perfect blend of Power, speed and endurance.
