Which body type do you EF peeps think is more appealing? Ladies you could be a big help to me here. Guys your 2 cents are welcome to.
 
I am walking a fine line between the two at this point. I always wanted to do a show but I do not won't to lose the appeal that I have with the ladies. My wife pleads with me daily not to turn into a freak with the veins poping out of everywhere.
 
In general, probably athlete. But it really depends on the specific athlete and bodybuilder. "Bodybuilders" can have lots of different sizes and looks. I think most Pro sized bodybuilders don't really look good, but smaller bodybuilders that are maybe 20-30% smaller than pros look way better.
 
male gymnast (taller of course) or olympic sprinter builds seem to be really good.

Yea I am not about to jump on stage to get a pro card, but I would like to do a couple of amature shows that are near me every year. A couple of guys at my gym compete and do well in them every year, and in my opionion are way behind where I am right now. I really do kinda like the way I look, but I know that I can rip up with ease, but I get very vascular when I start dropping weight. And I honestly think if I put my mind to it could become a freak relativly easy. You know its the your perfect the way you are don't do that, everyday shit that makes me same damn just back up a second, I really wanna try this once. And then I can always go back to where I am now. You agree don't cha Broonzy my ma'am.
 
athlete... I appreciate a bodybuilders body but I know what goes into it so it loses its luster. Its like I already know everything about them and what type of person they are.
 
just invite the other competitors to a bar then beat the shit out of them, then you should win the bodybuilding contest without even having to rip up.

Pat me on the back would ya.

Yeah I know what you mean. A couple of guys at my gym have mentioned I should compete. I've never competed but it's something I've always wanted to do at least once in my life. If I can put on another 20lbs, I think I'd be good to go. I'm 5-8 and 200lbs right now at about 15% BF. My goal would be to hit the stage at between 180-190lbs. If I could acheive that I don't think I'd want to get much bigger. I've always had a problem with cutting though:(

wtf do you mean? the crazy dieting - the shows - most of the time steroids, the self centeredness of the whole thing - the tanning...the whole lifestyle. its a self involved and isolating sport. Most people that I've run into who were bodybuilders didnt have much of a social life and they liked it that way.

Of course I know not all are that way but its a first impression I get. I have many guy friends who are or used to be bodybuilders and one good girlfriend who still do shows. I used to have more but I dont have much in common with them anymore. They usually have above average intelligence but also vain; self centered and introverted. lol :D

I think she's talking about the lifestyle, diet, mindset and discipline that go into creating results like that. I can totally understand where she's coming from. Unless your lifestyle is compatible with that, it's going to deminish the appeal.

For me, though, I just personally prefer the aesthetics of an athlete's body.

LOL Chill LOu I was shitting you, that was a joke. I know what your talking about and your exactly right, lotta self love in developing those kinds of bodies. But steroids what do you mean by that, those things are illegal.:biggrin:

I dig on your aesthetics.
Phone post ignore typos....
Okay, good thread. First i look like an athlete at 5 8 167, but i could care less about how much i bench, or run the 40, back in the day, i had speed to burn, lol. But seriously it is appearance based. Function is just a way to subterfuge sensation based narcissism. After post world war, as we became more secular, we have lost the cultural imperative that made us #1 in the world... the idea that the body is something to transcend, rising above sensation and exerting yourself, hardwork,integrity... I'm not a christian, but this a big value... Hard work, now the body is a vehicle to chisel and perfect for aestheically perfect...hence the bowflexing of our culture, i'm as guilty, if not more than most....
It has cost us though in ways we do not see.

That said i look like an athlete, but train like a BB.

yes but that doesnt make for entertaining EF posts from you. gotta figure out what is really important bor, living life right or beating ass so you can post entertaining stories on EF. I know youll make the right choice.
 
When did this place become so fucking softbatch? Bodybuilder, hands down. You make it sound like bulking or cutting for a contest will drastically alter your body in such a way that it will never be recoverable... which is ridiculous. What, you plan on doing a heavy cycle of synthol and plastic surgery?

You do this shit to push yourself to your limits, right? You sound like some content middle-aged nobody trying to convince himself that he should remain stangnant. HTFH.

i think that your current avi is a perfect compromise between the two extremes. :artist:
 
i'm built like an NBA pointguard and it seems to work alright for me.
 
You have to do what makes you happy. Back in the day when I was still modeling there came a point where I had to decide - give up swimwear and commercial for strictly fitness while competing? Or stay where I was and not try to compete? I chose to compete. Interestingly enough I never did a shoot when my physique was *at it's height*. Ah well... The images that I am/will use though for my skincare/dietary supplement line were taken long before I decided to compete. So what does that tell you?

at least you know what you are getting with a bber, an athlete, not so much. I mean offensive and defensive linemen are considered athletes and some of them are fat asses.

That is exactly my thought you dont push your shit the way I do to look just good. I looked good before I started, speaking in terms of the athletic body. Now I wanna be a Beast but it does not mean I have to look stage ready year round. I told her the other day I can change the whole look of my body in a matter of merely weeks. If you guys look at my profile my old avi was at 195 and what I think an athlete should look like. My current one is at 212 pounds and starting to cross that line into bb'er physique. Right now I am at 215 and very hard and vascular.

Pfft. We all say that on the internet. Do it on the fucking stage, pussy. You think you have what it takes? Fucking DO IT!

(Seriously, though: if you want to do something, go for it. Don't be one of the olds that sits in their rocking chair and talks about what they should have done. It's your body. It's a product of your mindset and effort. Don't leave it to waste if you have the potential.)

Well, it's okay to be insecure and scared. There are millions of insecure and scared people out there. You're just one of them. The same as everyone else. Mediocre goals, limited aspirations, and minimal effort define your way of life. You will die with only the pride of being one of the many worker bees building the hive for other important people; but hey, that's better than nothing, right? Besides, nobody wants to actually stand out or be different in this world. Being athletic (whatever "athletic" means) is good enough. And good enough is always good enough... at least for mediocre people.

Now, ask yourself: are you a mediocre person?

Holy Fuck an A its own now. Mediocre not even in my vocab. I have never been that a day in my life. Drafted out of highschool to play professional baseball, been through more snuff cans and hoes than Carter got liver pills my man. GOt exwives and goodlooking kids spread from sea to shinning sea. Will curb stomp bitches on a moments notice. Now to think of it I gotta fucking "S" on my chest and now I will prove to you that BBing is just another mountian that this snuff dipping, beer drinking, ass stomping, booty getting, hummer driver MOFO from the deep south can pull off. So I guess all I needed was somebody to say I couldn't. Seriously thou thanx for putting it into word that I can understand, You are exactly rite. And all that other shit I wrote was just me Bsing, except for the snuff dipping, and the beer drinking, oh and the ass stomping, and the booty getting,oh yea and the hummer driving part other than that ass just BS. LOL

Oh it wasn't easy my first thoughts are always punch this Bitch square in the mouth. But after recently beating the holy hell out of prick and narrowly escaping serious trouble for me, my wife and kids I have decided that unless I am pushed completely into a corner with no way out, that I will not resort to violence anymore. I never really noticed until lately that when you react that way you shine the light on yourself in ways you do not want. I have always been very quick to fight over nothing, but only recently did the general public decide that my temper was directly related to years of steroid abuse. Which is not at all true. I have done prolly 5 cycles in my life 3 as a youngster playing baseball and two recently. The 12 years of slapping bitches silly between the cycles were not taken into account by anyone. My advice unless someone touches you, fucks wit your family or spits in your face just let them be a prick. All of the above mentioned events are grounds for beat down thou. Be cool.

Dude Id rather be punched in the grill anyday than spit on. But your exactly rite thats a much larger insult than hitting someone. So after you spit on them what happens next, cause if they had balls enuff to shove you then I know they are going to come back at you?

i was like "okay bro"

Maybe spitting in these dudes faces give them time enuff to think for a second, cause thats the last thing you ever expect to happen. I had a dude spit in face years ago and it shocked me and I actually paused for a second, just long enuff to figure out how I was going to beat his face in.LOL
