So guys the final say. which is better: big, or skinny and defined?

[Warboss Alex]

my point exactly - you gained 30lbs in 2 years (which is a great gain btw) but you're not at your ideal yet.

I wasn't berating you or anyone for HAVING a target physique or whatever, I just take exception with people talking casually about goals or "I don't want to blow up" or "have a calvin klein physique" as if it was easy to do.

(if only because being unrealistic sets people up for failure)

 

[yep]

do the brad pit look in a movie called "troy". now thats ****ing hardass

 

[yep]

quite frankly guys, you are never going to get big enough to be 'too big'.

there is not one of you on this thread (or probably this forum) who has the genetics to become Batista-like without doing a LOT of steroids -

i do XD

but thats why i do lots of cardio and high reps low weight.

my genetics from male sides from both sides are prone to any physical activity escalating a 270 + muscular size.

How about you just keep gaining muscle until you are satisfied and then lose fat until you are satisfied.

How are you going to know what you will look like until you actually do it?


I don't know the point of the Brad Pitt look, btw. I was hooking up with a chick on Monday night and this came up. I was like sure someone like that looks good naked but no one will see that until you're naked so what's the advantage? I mean, the girl is already attracted to you to be getting naked with you in the first place before she even sees how ripped you are.

More size will show through your clothing easily, but no one will know what your abs look like. Skinny ripped guy is nothing but "little skinny guy" when he walks around in public. I guess it's nice if you are at the beach, but i'm there about 5 days a year.

personally I'd stirve for the brad pitt look because I think it offers you more options in clothing

Bingo ! Ever see these Huge jacked up guys at weddings in suits lol they look so umcomfortable and stiff...They dont look good in clothes unless its something that shows of muscle like a tank top or whatever

Most girls i know prefer the GQ look....the suave look...Think James Bond, Tom Brady, George Clooney, Brad Pitt

Im telling you...if you can look good in nice clothes....chicks dig u

Be sure you strive to suit yourself, not anyone else.

GIRLS DON'T GIVE A **** HOW YOU LOOK, providing your hygiene is good, and you look like you MEANT to look the way you do.

It's 100% HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF which makes all the difference, fellas - and I should know, I'm fat, old, furry, and balding... and countless incredibly hot girls love me.

Johnny youve got a point. And props if you can pull hot chicks on a regular basis. But wouldnt you feel BETTER about yourself if you had a body you could be proud of ? With all the benefits that working out gives you I wouldnt be satisfied by not exercising.

If you all are lifting for a body to GET girls, then you will be disappointed.

No one that I have ever lifted with stuck with lifting for the years it takes to 'attain' something and had girls be the foremost thing in their mind at the gym. Those who did fell out of it once they realized it was easier and quicker to correct their game than to get huge or ripped.

Maybe people start that way. I know I did, but it eventually turns into much, much more than a look to get girls.

If you need a goal to shoot for, thats awesome. But don't have that in mind in hopes you can rip your shirt off and have girls flock. One of the best things that comes from lifting is the confidence in yourself; not the 'happiness' of hearing a girl say you have a hot body. If you already have that confidence and don't care, more power to you. Just like with the rest of this site, as long as YOU are happy, f*ck everyone's opinion.
