It seems that some segments of the population still associates lifting weights or resistance training as a form of "bodybuilding". To the best of my understanding, bodybuilding is a subset of resistance training whereby the goal is to maximize muscular hypertrophy, striving for physical symmetry and perfection. Physical strength and flexibility is usually not of key importance, instead emphasis would be placed on aesthetic values. Besides, if everybody who lift weights are bodybuilders....then Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and majority of all athletes would be considered as bodybuilders.
