Does race affect bodybuilding

Answer 1

This is a difficult question due to many variables, my answer may not be what is expected.

The sport of Bodybuilding for some time now has been dominated by black bodybuilders. This is due to smaller pelvic structure, not to mention longer clavicles in many black athletes.

This obviously produces the appearance and at times fact of broader shoulders and a very small waist. I would like to add that bodybuilding is based on allusion, the use of more and stronger Anabolic Steroids with the addition of HGH. Human Growth Hormone not only produce muscle growth, the unwanted enlargement of internal organs that make the gut protrude. Now the waist may appear small, however, well over 40 inches and more, termed "Roidgut", the huge freaky quadriceps and deltoids produce the aforementioned allusion.

Again it is skeletal structure that determines how the body appears, at times it also helpful in other athletics. The chemicals I mentioned and the others that are used in bodybuilding, make the sport questionable since it is obviously not at all healthy.
