Ok, i'm 5'11 220 at 12% bf. I don't consider myself a body builder at all. I just workout recreationally to meet my goals.
There's a guy at my gym who's just small. That's the only way to descrive him. He's taller than me, and just a hair over 200 lbs, and all he does is sit around and give other people advice, and comment on how great he's doing with his bodybuilding. And he's nowhere near lean. he says he's at 17% bf, but i strongly doubt that's possible.
To me, i only see people who compete as BB's. There are a ton of power lifters who workout down here, and they are strong as oxes, and most of them are cut to hell. They could easily walk onto a stage and shadow most "BB's"
Is it just me, or are most people just dreaming by calling themselves BodyBuilders? I mean shit, i can call myself a rocket scientist if i want, but sure as hell isn't going to make me one.
I just think if people who say that need to be able to back it up with a good phyisique, and a decent amount of strenght.
If you're the size of ronnie, and only bench 200, who's going to give you any respect?
Of course, this might just be me, but who knows....
