Don't know if this has been mentioned before, couldn't find it in the search thread and thought about it from the bodybuilders are slow thread!
But how many times have you heard people assume that BBer's are stupid.
They seem to think that the reason people are big and strong is because they are too stupid to read and all they can do is lift things that are heavy.
I mean, where did this attitude towards BBer's begin?
Is it because people have grown up in fear of "the big bully at school" and associate size with moronic idiots from those bygone school days?

It makes me laugh, when you consider "real" bodybuilders and trainers spend a considerable amount of time learning about correct nutrition and the way the body works - far more so than the average person does.

Look how what bodybuilders have been doing for so long has "finally" become an accepted doctor approved way of living.
It hasn't been that long since doctors and nutritionalists stated that eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day is more beneficial than eating 3 big meals - BBer's had been doing that for years!

When it comes down to it - BBing is a choice of education - both of mind and of body. How is it any less a specialist choice of activity than writing a novel, or learning to play an instrument or any other number of things that people don't consider you to be "stupid" to be doing it.

Anyone else wondered this?

I think this began due to a premordial flaw in the human species. They are threatened by BBers because they can never get to the level of dedication/size/or strength as us and due to this make up stereotypes to make themselves feel better about being puny. Most bodybuilders that I have spoken to are always fairly smart, jackasses don't have a good undetstanding of the human body and how to get it to do what they want, so that alone automatically throws the stereotype out the window.

first off I agree with Amped. but I would also like to add that what pro-athletes are smart? if your getting payed to be an athlete then why should you go to the library? that would be like asking an English teacher to teach a Calculus class.

All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.
AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."


In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff, including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.
