what do you categorize yourself?

[RAIDEN]

(If this thread is in wrong section, please move)

A wide variety of people on this board with different backgrounds, goals, physiques, and training. What would you consider yourself or consider the type of style your training revolves around? Bodybuilder? Powerlifter? Strongman/strong woman? Crossfit? Athletic? Staying in shape?

I'll start.

My training has been geared towards bodybuilding. However I dont have the discipline to ever live like one, I have always admired the lifestyle and training AND RESULTS Im not as big as I used to be so now I would be going for a more athletic look, like a Patrick Willis linebacker look. Trying to find out those kind of workouts they use,anyone have a link?

I'm just someone who enjoys lifting.

i don't feel confident calling myself a powerlifter because I only focus on bench and my bench isn't that impressive.

soooooo, I would classify myself as someone who likes training and working towards strength goals.

Its ta definitely a plus if I add any muscle while working towards goals though. Not that I'm that big either.

ehhhhh.... I'm pretty average.

I'm training to be on the Olympic Curling team. I really want to be the guy that sweeps the ice.

But seriously, my style is BB. My goal is lean size. I have a problem labeling myself as a bodybuilder because when I look in the mirror I don't see a bodybuilder. Maybe I have a touch of body dismorphia?

I think we have all had it at one time or another bro.

I just enjoy lifting and getting bigger and stronger. No real description as to my specific goal. I guess my physique would be more of a lean strongman. I could care less about abs but I love getting bigger and stronge, and I like an overall defined build if that makes any sense. I do enjoy the overall lifestyle involved with lifting and getting bigger. Maybe one day I'll decide to lean out, but for now I'm not too interested.

Fat bodybuilder

Trainee. I train!

 

[PillarofBalance]

Powerlifter... as in I get on a platform and receive white lights (usually).

 

[FLEXjs]

I'm too fat to be a bodybuilder, and too weak to be a powerlifter.

Therefore: recreational weightlifter.

I did do a PL comp last summer though with not bad results (1425 total) and plan on doing on again this summer.

I reason I sit in between as well even though gone down two trouser sizes in for months. Aim to strip right down in summer as I like the results I am getting. I am not a vain person in fact the total opposite but wearing right shirts at the moment loving it not felt like this since my 30's

I can't seem to get the powerlifting mentality out of my head....
