Why do bodybuilders look weird?

I don't mean just bodybuilders, but people in general that purely lift weights and do nothing else. To me they don't look particularly athletic at all.

small 'stabilizers' probably

Maybe a lack of balance like this dude has a huge neck but a ton of body builders will develop everything and then have a pencil neck so it looks like their head is on the wrong body

explain?
Idk man, I mean olympic weightlifters look pretty athletic, and they dont train their necks at all , they just do more explosive training

I guess OP looks "weird", but in a good way.

bodybuilders spend tons of time working arms, chest, and upper back muscles and they just seem out of balance, like a someone took a bunch of muscles and copypasted them together to look like a person, whereas athletes develop their whole body and grow muscle overall
He's a wrestler. They all have fucking thicck necks from having to bridge off their head and resist their opponents' snapdowns.
Olympic lifters have big necks but mostly their traps are fucking huge and they train full body every day

Ask me how I know you know fuck all about bodybuilding.

How do you know he knows fuck all about bodybuilding?

> purely lift weights
> don't look...athletic at all
What is your conception of "athletic"? Anyone who lifts, say, 2/3/4/5 is extremely athletic relative to the normal population.

>implying BB training has no focus on legs
>implying oly lifters have no rest days

strong =/= athletic

I mean was it not obvious he was just trying to make himself feel smart with that post? His response to me explaining why wrestlers have thick necks despite that no one asked was a giveaway

Well the guy looks athletic.

I see, that makes some sense.
Someone can be strong as fuck but can't do a single pullup. To me its about having full body awareness. It depends from person to person.

Bodybuilding is the equivalent of those cows with genetic disorders. Yes, they are very muscular. No, they don't look as nature intended.

Fuckin this. I was pretty close to 2/3/4/5 and when I started Jiu Jitsu it kicked my ass in a lot of ways and showed me a lot of stabilizers I had that were weak. Let alone flexibility and being explosive in weird positions. I lost a shit load of weight and am "weaker" than I was a year ago but I feel better and more athletic than I ever have in my life.

Hell Wendler talks about that being the reason he made 5/3/1 he was strong as shit but felt like shit all the time. He wanted a way to train, recover, get stronger and also be athletic. But everyone hates it because they have no patience and need to get big fast.

Yeah BJJ is good for that, wrestling is a whole other beast that compliments it super well. I'd say an hour of wrestling is like 20-30 mins of bjj in terms of intensity.

Are you fucking retarded? I wrestled for ten years and transitioned to bjj. Bjj is hard, and if you move at the same intensity as wrestling it can be near equal to the same level. But in the end wrestling is less dynamic (don’t have to worry about chokes and subs) which allows you to exert more energy. If you wrestle at an intense level (hs national, college or international) it beats bjj.

You're just coping with the fact they're more impressive than you loser

What this dude said I have done BJJ for 4 year and wrestlers always fuxk my shit up a life time of grappling will make you into a goddamn killer

the quad to hamstring ratio is a big part. The "pushing" muscles look overdone compared to the "pulling" muscles.
anterior and Lateral deltoids are often out of proportion to the rear deltoids as well.

It's all about ratio.

OP is special. Don’t tell his mother.
