On Bodybuilding

[tonynyc]

Wasn't quite sure if this topic would be more for Hyde Park or the Health Forum- so.. took my chances here...

I was on Dimensions chat a few days ago and noticed the topic of the conversation with respect to bodybuilding. It gave me a thought about posting a thread and just asking a some opinions to Dimmers on this sport and of the physiques that are presented.

Now the Bodybuilding lifestyle is as much of a sub-culture as the size acceptance community. The styles of physiques range anywhere from : Freakish - Current Olympia(s)- Classical Physiques.

I would present women bodybuilders- but, that sport has gone through a rougher phase than the male competitors.

Now of the three types of physiques listed - which did you find the most acceptable? the least?
AND... you cannot cheat and say "neither"

I found the current Olympia champions to have the physique that was most acceptable . The least was the Freakish (sub-culture wthin a sub-culture).
