    Sadly, no. They're real people with real lives who don't need to put their weights up on YouTube.

    BigDog could quite possibly elevate himself to Poster of the Year should he liveblog from the party.

    Does anyone actually consider weightlifting a sport? I think anyone who isn't doing it for the sole benefit of better overall health is engaged in a sad pissing contest.

    Real live weightlifting is very much a sport.
    Someone doing curls like JDV is not a sport.

    The Olympic motto is Higher, Faster, Stronger. Weightlifting definitely suits the bill.
    But definitely not the way JDV does it.

    But we can still make sport of it, right?

    Wow,

    You guys are KILLING me. This is why real athletes think you don't know ____, bc you prove them right every day.

    Let me clue you in on something lifting, wrestling (combat sports), and running are the OLDEST sports and pretty much the sports on which all others are built (speed, strength, coordination, endurance, toughness & fighting ability). They express the most basic physical abilities true athletes must have.

    The IDEA that weightlifting "isn't a sport" is appalling & just proves how naive and media driven sheep many of you are. All the things you think of as "great sports" are pretty new ok.

    Also, PS golf is not a sport it's a hobby, like playing darts or bowling. Media peeps love to puff up golf bc it is something their nonathletic as@es can do (or they think they can). Here is a hint, anything a 70 year old fat dude can be competitive in probably is NOT a sport.

    Similarly, pool not a sport, curling not a sport, sailing not a sport (but rowing certainly is). Real sports are things in which you must display a high amount of speed, strength, endurance, coordination, toughness and combat ability. The best sports define the limits of those qualities or combine a good combination of those qualities.

    But hey, here is to being ethnocentric & media (read commercial marketing/advertising) brainwashed along with having NO sense of history or logic - bravo!

    Hey jackass, ONE person ASKED THE QUESTION. Check the thread. Thanks for painting us all with the brush for attacking weightlifting and saying it's not a sport.

    You should really talk less and read more.

    WTF are you talking about? I think ONE PERSON said lifting isn't a sport, then everyone else corrected that person. So sheep? No. Not even close. But hey, I'm guessing this is part of the schtick.

    The way you are doing those curls is not just wrong, it's dangerous. Have you ever had a hernia? Or a slipped disc? 'Cause that's the route you're going if that's how you SERIOUSLY lift. Though I stand by the sock puppet idea and that video is all part of the scam.
