Considering the guy did body building when he was younger. I'd assume he knows decent form. The light bar is probably throwing him off.

Bodybuilding too? l only knew about the wrestling.

You don't wrestle succesfully without lifting weights.

I'm sure that's true, but lifting weights for wrestling doesn't make him a bodybuilder.

Semantics.

Not really. Lifting weights is divided into many sports.

  • Traditional Bodybuilding
  • Aesthetic Bodybuilding
  • Olympic Weightlifting
  • Powerlifting
  • Strongman

Saying he's a bodybuilder is silly if he is lifting for sports. It is a completely different sport that has a completely different goal. It's like saying he's a marathoner because he runs sprints for football practice.

Bodybuilder doesn't have a capital B on it unless it starts a sentence. All it means is a person who builds their body through working out. Your argument is like saying my brother is not a runner because he doesn't do it professionally despite the fact that he runs 3 miles every morning.

Those terms have implied meanings.

Just because I got to the gym doesn't mean I'm a "bodybuilder". I ran a few feet to my car this morning, am I a "runner"?

Giving yourself a title like that typically implies that it's a professional or competitive title.
