And Neither Are Bodybuilders
Here's what you need to know...
• Competitive bodybuilding is not a sport. Though skillful physical training is required to build the muscle that wins bodybuilding competitions, competitors are not judged on those muscle-building skills – only the muscle and physique itself.
• While CrossFit is a sport, 99.99% of its participants are not athletes.
• You may live and breathe CrossFit, bodybuilding, powerlifting, and Olympic-lifting, but the athlete label may not apply to you. Signing up for competitions doesn't earn you that label unless you're a champion or close to it.
• Participation ribbons don't count.
