How many consider Bodybuilding a sport?

[palme]

It has come to my attention that alot of people in Sweden think of it as a beauty contest!? Wtf!?

[Pheedno]

I think a sport is defined by competition. So for me...no I don't think of it as a sport unless I consider the competition with myself to achieve the goal. I just consider it a part of who I am and what I do in life

Beauty contest? Why not. I'm one sexy bitch that improves in the gym everyday

hehehe I wouldn't call it sport either....
it's more of an art to me ....
A painter takes a week-two to do a painting..
A Sculptor takes...a month-two to do a sculpture...
A bodybuilder takes...at least a lifetime and then he's still not done.....

and a beauty contest? think not...there ain't nothing pretty about those guys...at least to me...amazing yes...pretty ..not
The art of Bodybuilding is what I call it....

its a lifestyle to me unless i plan to compete
im a totally different person than i was 60 pounds ago so thats my thinking on this.

It's a passion. It requires vigorous training and intense nutritional manipulation, it requires knowledge of the game and a love for the art,so yes, hell yea its a sport
