@@EVO6- to me athletics is about auto locomotion or basically moving your body and the major athletic sports apply this to skills and techniques. Athletics encompasses the basic forms of physical fitness but at a much higher level. Most bodybuilders, especially ones blasting steroids can’t jog a quarter mile without passing out. They may look great but they can often be subpar in basic physical fitness parameters like mobility, ROM, endurance, etc. A long distance runner can probably still bench some weight though it probably won’t be a lot, but that is more than made up in his ability to MOVE. The sports I consider true power-athletic sports are football, basketball, baseball, hockey, mma/boxing, soccer, tennis, track, Olympic weightlifting, etc. To me, the non power-athletic sports are long distance running, cycling, etc. These sports are not about quickly accelerating power but they are still very athletic. To me bodybuilding is a semi-athletic sport, and depending on the bodybuilder, a non-athletic sport just like powerlifting.

@@roderickclerk5904 static strength is an aspect of athleticism, regardless of your made-up personal definition of 'athleticism' that has no place being used by anyone else. Also to call bodybuilding semi athletic but powerlifting 'non-athletic' when it's the latter whom are actually tested on their physical performance is comical. You'll call tennis players and MMA fighters athletes but not powerlifters, tell me which one would have a better carry over to MMA with no notice with just their physical attributes, when pitted against each other? The one with developed tendons, muscle contraction, posterior chain strength and grip, or the one with a mean underhand swing and nothing to offer once any kind of grappling is initiated? Strength is athleticism, being a specialised athlete does not make one less of or not an athlete.

I was and am a pretty big guy for the Mexican style, which is very up close, quick and jumpy, my trainer said that the Mexican style when done correctly is a leg game, not footwork but leg work. You throw and stiffen your arms and 80% of the power is from legs and hips, deadlifts and squats are essential for a Mexican style boxer
