i want to word this so no one gets mad, or feels offended. so by no means is this post a negative post on the way people train.people can train however they want..

when reading a lot of posts on this site over a years time, it seems most are after "getting bigger" or "bulking up"

beings how 99.9 % of us on the board here are not a pro, and never will be a pro, as we’ll always be punching the clock 8 hours a day, why do most choose to just get bigger?
most posts, its how do i bulk up, or i wanna gain 30 pounds.
if you are normal size, get involved in a sport where you can be good in, and train like a mad man to be good in that sport. if your 5′6 and 150# be a soccer player. 6′6 be a basketball player or great volleyball player.
everybody wants to bulk up here..
you cant make it in the bodybuilding game if you dont take drugs.. and isnt taking drugs defeating the whole healthy lifestyle of an amature athlete, like we all are?
why not get the bigger, bulkier words and throw them out and replace them with fitter. looks like the guys bulking want to bulk only..
why not xfit train. get super strong and fit..
look at the amature xfit guys.. 18:00 for 3 miles.. 60 seconds for a 400 meter run. 50-60- kipping pullups, 400# deads 350# squats, 200 pound clean and jerk, from a 170-180# guy..
these cats are super strong and super fit. i think their mentality is never worry about bulk or bigger, just get quicker stronger faster.
i mentioned this in another post. i had bodybuilding friends who were really good take up xfit to be overall fit, and per their comments, the workouts were as hard or harder than traditional bodybuilding… and they got way way way fitter.
just asking if anyone ever gave this fitter thought over the bigger bulkier thought.
