So for this first post I couldn't really think of a title, or what I was gonna bitch about. So after some thought I figured I would go with my favorite two sports Weightlifing and Bodybuilding.

         First I should probably clarify that when I refer to bodybuilding I am referring to the golden era, as in Arnold and friends, not the hgh fueled monsters of today. That's not to bash on todays bodybuilders, there work ethic and diet is impeccable, its just the bigger is always better approach that isn't as ideal to me.

        My ideal bodybuilding would be athletes like Franco Columbu, Reg Park, or Bill Pearl. These men were every bit as strong as they looked.

       Now weightlifting also has a bigger is better approach, in the form of mass moves mass. Not everyone looks like Lu Xiaojun , or Dmitry Klokov.  

      So should it be a requirement to have visible abs to set a new world record, or to clean and jerk 200 kilo to win Mr. Olympia, no not at all but both sports would be more appealing to fans if we met somewhere in the middle.

      If anyone stumbles across this blog, I would like to hear your thoughts, please comment.
