I don't get why it's such a big deal for people to just accept that bodybuilders are actually pretty strong.

It hurts people so bad to accept such a boring fact, who knows why?

Makes them feel better for not exercising if they can pretend it's pointless really.

Yep, if the 300lb tub of lard pretends that fat=strong and lean=weak they can delude themselves into thinking they’re like Brian Shaw, as opposed to being obese and weak

Bodybuilding ain't real bud, it's all a conspiracy to make gyms earn more money.

Yeah everytime I see a post here comparing the two they always shun on the bodybuilder saying that all those muscles don’t build strength but in reality it does it just that people are so use to seeing strong man or strength athletes that they can’t comprehend that building more muscles makes you stronger in general

Yea, I dont doubt some farmer bucking hay all day can whip body builders in an Atlas stone challenge or something but benching? I doubt construction has you using your chest all day, I wouldnt be surprised if they had stronger back/shoulders/forearms though.

What? I'm just saying the video this person was talking about was fake and everyone in the video was a bodybuilder. People who work labor all day don't get a bunch of extra muscle like the guys in the video they are referring to. It was just clickbait bullshit. You can't eat enough while working all day to gain a bunch of muscle.

I know. And I added to your response, that not only is it fake as you said, but it's not even clear why people like the guy you responded to want to believe the fake so badly.

I gotcha, it could be read multiple ways. Thought you were saying I was just going around claiming everything is fake and that it doesn't matter if it's fake portraying itself as genuine.
