6' 190-200lbs is not "buff/built"

[nzrodney]

With so many years working out, juicing, watching bigger people, going to bodybuilding shows, reading bodybuilding magazines, you get used to that look; you'll always look up, never down; that's why under your opinion, you'll always be small in front of the mirror. But believe me; for average joes, either skinny as a flag pole or fat as a cow, you are HUGE; and even a 6' tall 200 pounds of muscle is HUGE for them; because "pure muscle" is not "normal" on the streets; it takes a lot of sacrifice, discipline, hard work, sweat, years and years. They know that, because EVERYBODY has lifted a dumbell at one point of their lives; 99% of them fail the first day.

DJ you have hit on it I believe. Because we are never looking down we always have an opinion of ourselves as being smaller than others. I suppose for my "age" Im pretty big but I dont compare myself with people of my "age". I compare my self to 30 yr old pro BBers. LOL now I can compete in Masters Comps its a bit wacky in my head!

Good point...But once again it dont matter how big i am, to me i am not bg enough...Their is always someone bigger and more cut up..I think thats how alot of us feel

i just recently stopped feeling like this...

it's like a never ending cycle and it's completely unhealthy. i can't believe how much time i wasted stressing myself out over how i look...looking in the mirror all the time, flexing randomly. it's important to me still, and a source of my confidence and well being.. but in much more balanced way.

in anything, you'll never be the biggest, fastest, richest, smartest..whatever it is. there's always someone above you, just realize there are many many many more people on a level below you

makes me feel better when i start looking at average joes and the way they live/look. i'll never be ronnie or a fitness mag model...but i'll probably be healthier than them and happier

if you live trying to reach an unattainable goal with unrealistic expectations, you will not lead a happy life. constantly chasing something that you can not grasp is not fun, but enjoying the journey it takes to get there is a different story

i think most of get big/jacked to fix other problems in our life (self image,feeling of not being good enough, etc). i realized it helps...if it's done in a healthy way and for the right reasons, but will never cure the underlying issue if done for the wrong ones

strive for more, but appreciate how far you've come

Dude you are BIG and RIPPED. To be in the single digits of bf like you definately are at 248 at 6ft is seriously jacked. You have an elite competitive bodybuilder look, obviously not the size some of these monsters have (Coleman, Cutler, James, Yates etc.). but still huge and more appealing!!

Yeah bro your pretty fucking big even in BB standards you'd be a good size. 190lbs to a common person at 6' if they are lean will be classified as big but if youre a weight trainer then there a stringbean!

 

[rnch]

all too many guys who think they are "buffed and cut" are just skinnnnnnnnnnnnnnny.
