Strength Wars Movie

Why do cup stacking competitions get aired over bodybuilding?

One of bodybuilding’s biggest strengths is also it’s biggest weakness. The sport is a niche market which has provided an atmosphere of extremely loyal and dedicated fans and has helped build it up into the titan of entertainment and athleticism that it is today. At the same time, this niche fanbase also leads to a lack of exposure. It’s why you can’t see bodybuilding on ESPN along with football and baseball.

We’ve reached out to the top pros both past and present to give their take on what bodybuilding needs in order to get out of it’s niche shadow and become something much, much larger.
