Bodybuilding workouts require that you train one muscle group at a time. Essentially, you are in the gym 5 days per week lifting an isolated muscle group. Not only that, but a majority of the exercises require you to sit or lie down. Rarely is her heart rate elevated to a fat burning level unless you carry a 100 barbell across your gym floor to place it back on the rack. 

When training single muscle groups, your weight threshold is higher, which allows you to lift much heavier. In a sense, this can be a good thing. However, the heavier you lift, the longer your muscles need to recover before you can perform the next set properly. Again, you do not enter the fat torch zone. If you really want to burn fat and get lean then you need to spend more time doing high intensity full body exercises – train like an athlete.
