Gender: | A "powerlifter" is a person who competes against other "powerlifters". You are not a "powerlifter" unless you compete and you are not a "bodybuilder" unless you compete. Powerlifting is a name under misdirection. The sport of "powerlifting" is determined by the amount of weight you can move in your squat, deadlift, and bench press. You are tested on muscular strength, not power. Power refers to the amount of time it takes to move an object, explosive lifting. Olympic lifting should be considered "powerlifting". |

Gender: | i disagree, i dont think you need to compete to be able to tell someone that you body build. i believe it's a sport wether it's for pro's or amatures. |

Gender: | I guess it's really dependent on how you feel about labels. It's one thing to say you bodybuild and another to say you are a bodybuilder. It's like saying "I play tennis" versus "I'm a tennis player." Personally, I don't see the use in getting hung up on the labels either way. |
