looking over the top guys in the sport of bodybuilding and the other guys, you know competitors and so forth, I am disappointed that nowadays there is so much bickering and backstabbing going on. Bodybuilders continue to talk smack about each other and disrespect each other saying the most slanderous of things about each other and sometimes even outright lies, then they cry and complain about why the sport isn't mainstream. How do you expect anyone to respect you if you can't even respect yourselves? Everyone is out for themselves and want to bury their fellow competitors maliciously so that they can go ahead.
I think that a lot of these bodybuilders can take lessons from powerlifters and strongmen where THERE IS ALWAYS A GREAT CAMARADERIE AND RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER. I know when I started powerlifting, I had freaking world champion powerlifters congratulate me on my p.r.'s and tell me I'm pretty strong, great compliment from a world class lifter. Same goes with strongman, it doesn't matter if someone finishes the atlas stones in the quickest time possible and their fellow competitor is lagging. They immediately cheer him on to finish the event in the best time that he can. This, my friends is why world's strongest man and IFSA are more popular than bodybuilding. THEY TREAT THEIR FELLOW COMPETITORS WITH THE OUTMOST RESPECT AND DON"T TRASH TALK EACH OTHER ON FORUMS. I guess they figure their sports are so fucking hard that anyone who can even show up to compete in such an event is respectable by itself.
