How Big is to big?

[Growth&Courage]

What's your goals you want to reach to realize your happy and feel just like maintaining?

How big is too big?
It's all relative and rather a subjective question.

Some years ago, my goal was to be as big as possible (probably a typical goal to many other individuals too), however through time and expereince I have come to reached the conclusion that the objective of trying to be as big as possible is just meaningless.

Personally, I do not see any benefits nor any real substance for me in being huge at all.

Ultimately, just as long as I am comfortable with my physique and I feel that it's something that I have achieved and can stay with me as long as I continue to lift, live and make it part of my lifestyle in a fun and exciting manner is all that matters.


It is damn simple and yet I've only discovered this not long ago.

Weight wise I'm happy if I can go away on vacation for 2 or 3 weeks and I don't lose a bunch of weight. I know guys who lose 10 lbs in a couple of weeks if their not lifting.

hmm.....you got a point there, YossHoss....

I was in the Army and running all the fucking time.......but still I don't see how you think women are really intimidated by big guys.....usually women love them.

I'm just f*cking with you bro, but Ive had girls tell me that if I got any bigger they'd be hesitant to approach me. It might have something to do with my height (6'5")

well, what I think is perfect and what my wife and ladies think is perfect or too big is totally different. we gotta remember that....
I'm 5'9" and think 220 9% BF and big arms is perfect.
girls though would disagree....
they would much rather prefer a 5'9" guy at about 185-190 with solid size a hella definition. they also want the solid 6 pack and strong ab shaping. I mean look at all the chick magazine covers and movie stars, they don't look like ronnie coleman.
me, fuck 185....how can I bench 300lbs at 185?!?

Eh YossHoss......it's your height.

Same here Div. My current gf is TINY( 5'1" and 98lbs) and she doesn't think 5'5", 205lbs is too big. I'm thick as hell but since I'm shorter it's not as intimidating. Which is good, I can swell up to a nice 210-215 this off-season and she'll love it!

I have to admit, and some Bros may criticise this, but my sole reason for lifting is personal protection. I am an easy going, likeable person who goes about his Business, but unfortunately the streets of my city aren't as safe as they were. I need to know that if I ever had to look after myself, I could. Big enough to present a presence will do me. I also enjoy the feel good element of training and the routine of going to the gym, the "kick" of training with likeminded people etc.
