Big will always be in!

[Mike P.T.]

It depends. But come on guys let's be real here. Most people like the mainstream look and that is a healthy lean quality athletic look. 5'8-5'10 at 200 pounds ripped for the most part would draw more POSITIVE attention than someone who is 225 ripped to the bone. Most people just find it too much and disgusting. Of course their are alot of people, men and women included who admire such a build and are attracted to to large cut physique but it definately isn't as attractive to the "average eye"(which makes up most of the population I might add) than someone smaller and just as cut.

After having said that BIG with some quality of course is definately IN. But not as much as someone who is lean, still has good muscle on him, and has that chiseled face still.

Weight-wise I don't want to be any heavier than I am already. I weigh about 225 right now. Next summer I want to be 210-215 lean as fuck!! Once I'm there I will concentrate more on just maintaining that and building more condition as well as still increasing my strength without increasing too much on the size game. Being a personal trainer as well not too many people(mainstream which I am geared more towards not training big muscular athletes of course) like to have a trainer that is pro bodybuilder material.

My gosh I am cursed with an ecto physique. Although my legs are very muscular and my quads are 25.5" my upperbody falls behind and my arms are skinny looking. I am 5'10.5" and sit at about 197 right now and feel small. Some of you were saying 200 at 5'10" should draw positive attention and be "enough", but I don't agree. I know that it would take at least 25 more pounds before someone considers me a "freak".

Shit, I wish I was too big!

Well I did say a quality, and lean physique. You said you were an ectomorph so you should be lean but you're not proportionate.

Oh I left that out. I meant to say proportionate as well. Although the mainstream public again doesn't really care for HUGE muscular legs. As long as they are toned and in shape and they have a nice upper body most people will go for that. Sorry to hear that bro. I had that problem in h.s. as well but after working on it my upper body has caught up and then some. I am balanced now.

people

generalize to dam much!!!

Its all how you carry the weight. You could be 225 at 5'10" and look different then somebody the same height, weight, and bodyfat %.

That being said bigger is better...to a point. Its easy just to be slim ab boy, but how many people walking around with 19 inch guns and in decent shape? Not that many here. Most that big got guts or a fairly high bodyfat %.. But I yet to see a woman who finds a 22 inch arm(todays top pros) sexy, they just think its to fucking much. And lets be honest, arnolds arms supposedly measured less than 20 inches and sergios were 20.5, and those are the guys the majority of us feel had the best physiques. So the look is between todays pros and todays ftiness models, thats the ultimate look!!!(in real life)

And I think being tall adds a certain mystique about it. Alot of women dont want to be looking eye to eye with a man.

Yeah its funny how all these little 6' 180lb 15 inch arm, ab boys are all in the magazines and videos, but in real life women just love the bigger guys. I guess thats cuz on with TV adding 20lbs to you, plus lighting tricks, they get these people to appear to be overly muscular. And somebody big in real life ends up looking like a fucking X MAN character in print or on TV. LOL

[hard as rocks]

who cares what people think.im hearing#s as in 5-10 220 being big lol.i must be a monster at 205 and 5-6 and yes im very lean.
i still feel small and hope too get bigger than i am.
i can careless what the general public think of me.im not satisfied with myself so i will keep going till i am.
too tell you the truth i dont think ill ever be happy.
and by the way i have no problem getting any woman i want.
personality is the key with woman.if you walk around like a big tough guy and dont have a brain then of course youll have trouble getting woman.but if you have a good personallity and an education than they will look pass your exterior and like you for who you are.
that being said, grow, grow grow lol.

Maybe women might not love it but it seems like everysingle guy in the world wants to be best buds with my friend whos 280. And this kid was considerd the biggest and smallest nerd in grade and high school ( he graduated 3 years ago). And now people who used to ignore him his ass . are kissing The so called big guys who used to beat him up are literally F*cking terrified hes gonna retaliate against them.liek he says "'it's good to be big"

good grief, 280lbs, amazing size bro, sometimes I wanna get that big but theres always something stopping me saying that if I get to a certain weight, people will KNOW i juice. thats when i step back and scale down to a more reasonable size.
