People shouldn't be fooled by a bodybuilders diet. These guys are eating anything and everything in the offseason.

A lot of these guys are cleaning up their diets only a few weeks before a show.

God Damn right eating is the fun part of training
 
You know the guys with the exceptional genetics?

It's usually the black guys that never lift and eat french fries. Maybe do a couple push ups a week. When they take their shirt off they are ripped all over and fairly large.

You can't really be a fat slob in a bar and have the "perfect" genetics, although you can be a ripped guy in the bar with them lol. Having good genetics, generally means looking damn good and being damn strong before touching a weight IMO.

Argh! People! It's like articifial selection.

Powerlifters have great strength. They may or may not look good; that doesn't matter.

Bodybuilders have pretty bodies. They may or may not be strong; that doesn't matter.

The only similarity is both seek to be as big as possible while staying in their weight classes. In both groups, the biggest tend to be the strongest.

Take wolves and dogs for example. Take all the fastest wolves and breed them. Then take all the small and furry wolves and breed them. The first group becomes the greyhound, the second becomes the shitsu. You can't fault the shitsu for being slow; it wasn't the original goal in creating it!

So let's stop this craziness about powerlifters being fat or bodybuilders being week because it's unfair to both groups, and each probably doesn't really care.

genetics determine where you start/ how fast you gain. NOT where you end up

Oh come on. You're telling me every single 6'0" ectomorph in the world can be 260 lbs at a low bodyfat without drugs? Because there are mesomorphs who can do that.
