Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Talking to someone in the gym and he says big is no longer in and people like the ripped skinny model look. If thats true then how come my close friend who's 5'8 280 at 10 percent bodyfat dominates everybody in the chicks/friends social scene everybody wants to know him. BIG WILL ALWAYS BE IN
Big will always be in!

Damn this little line of thinking is pathetic as fuck. I see this all the time. You think pure size and great body comp alone enable someone to be pro? There are many people capable of having body composition identical to many pros, but simply don't have the A) proportion, B) symmetry, C) posing ability, ect, etc.luv2lift! said:

not really bro....a guy 5'8"- 5' 10" about 200-225 of well proportioned low BF muscle with good looks will get more respect from the ladies and the bro's. anyday. some big 280 not so proportionate dude with what is most likely not so low bodyfat isn't gonna turn the heads as much. sorry.

What's going to get more looks, a well proportioned 5' 10" 200 pound guy, or a equally well proportioned 5' 10" 225 pound guy carrying the same bodyfat?

given equally proper proportions and BF of course the 225 guy. but the larger you get (e.g. 280 fucking pounds, lol) it starts to go back to the "smaller" dude. go compare DJ to nasser. nuff said.

I would have to disagree and say that big is not in with the ladies maybe guys. Its one thing to have great muscle simitry and be lean and cut but when you get up in the 280lbs at 5'8 thats pushing it. I know plenty of girls who love muscle but when you take it too far thats when it ends. However there is a few honeys out there that love the freaky look.

yeah, but and I am taking liberties here, the bigger one gets, the harder it is to maintain a low bodyfat. If we are talking about what chicks care about, I would say that a low bodyfat comes way before sheer size. If you are under 9%, you are pretty much set at any bodyweight if you have some decent, not monster, size.

I'll agree that their is a too big. I'm one of those who thinks that many of the modern mass freaks, while I can respect them, look absolutely ridiculous.WARBIRDWS6 said:
When I think of "small," I'm imagining those prepubescent looking weenie kids in underwear ads. When I think big, a fit 220+ will suffice.

Lets stick with the 200 and 225 pound guys and give them an average 12 percent bodyfat - not ripped, but if they are fit they will both look it. I think most girls I know would favor the bigger peice of meat.

yes, that is exactly what i want. i get more comments than bigger guys when i am at 175-180 5'8" and in decent shape, because i got my muscle in the right places, and decent vascularity/cuts. just need to keep the waist in line since i am short and i am alright (very hard for me to do, my lower ab fat is STUBBORN as all hell). but once at the 200-220 mark with low BF i would consider that ideal. for me, now a taller 6'2" guy may need 250-260 to look the same. but fuck the tall guys. lol.

yeppers. at least we get compliments at "underweight" mens health condition. lol. i hope to be at 190 after the next heavier cycle....then get to 200-205 after then following milder cycle. after that we will see. i know my training/supp/diet is spot on after all these years....and having no life helps too.
lol. so if i get my cycle right, i figure i can't go wrong as long as i stay healthy. can't wait to get on the big cycle though....this winny/tren/"anavar" plus anti-E's and cutter drugs is nice.....but i want a big crazy stack cycle....NOW!!!!! only about 2 1/2 more weeks to go......

No shit, me too! Yep, these last few weeks my brain has kicked into overdrive planning my next cycle!WARBIRDWS6 said:only about 2 1/2 more weeks to go......
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.

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

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.
