Anonymous · 26-07-2004, 08:26 PM

to me bodybuilding aint about getting totally ripped,

i just go for sheer size and strength,

i prefer the big wrestler look,and prefer to look this way,

good size with moderate definition,

how ripped does everyone else want to be?

Good question Steve, all i can say at the mo is that i want to hit around the 13 stones mark, after that we'll see what happens, fair definition is my way of putting it.

Agree with Steve, as long as I don't have a belly or double chin I'm happy!

But each to their own, some guys look really good completely ripped whilst others look good a little heavier.

God, it's time I got off that fence!!!

Right, well when i started lifting weights(5 years ago) i was chuffed to get 13stone and lean. Personally, the larger i get- the larger i want to be. I am 17stone 12 now and carrying about 20% BF. I plan to cut when i get back to the UK and settle. I will down to single figure BF then bulk back up again, this is the pattern i see most results from. I set no upper limit on size.
When i first started buying Flex, the guys weights used to fry my mind. Now i am heavier than a number of them- but obviously without the same level of conditioning(or any drug use). The bigger i get, the less freaky the guys in the mags seem.

yeah, i'm digressing here....

i agree with you natural

the biggest ive been is 17 stone 7 at 6ft tall

52" chest 18.5" arms etc,

all natural aswell,apart from prohormones

and i feel alot better like this than being 15 stone and more ripped,

what it comes down to is the weights i am lifting,clothes fitting much better,

i think its a mind thing,when you lose weight,you feel skinny even though your big,

probably just me

has anyone heard of muscle dysamorphia(if thats how you spell it)

yeah a double chin is a bad sign,

what you weighing in at now dave?

cheers

I want to be as ripped as possible!! Once I get over this crap situation with the b.p. I'm gonna (hopefully) add another stone to take me to 15, then maybe see about shedding some b/f. If I get to 15 stone and my arms/chest are still not what I want, then I'll keep adding weight until they are better. Then cut. I'd ideally like to be around 8% b/f cuz just now its about 11. The more ripped, the merrier for me 8)

Not too fussed about being ripped.

Id like to look big in a big t-shirt, n not lean in a tight one if u kno what i mean!

The dodgy bit though is im a short arse, if i put on too much i start to look like danny devito.

That IS NOT the look im training for!!!

Big **** off arms n a wide back will do for me

I'm going to go against the grain here!

Although I do like the big look I am currently working on improving my fitness which in turn means I can't get BIG cos of the amount of cardio I am doing.

My training is more geared towards Muscle definition - I want to be bigger in the arms and chest whilst my bodyfat is constantly dropping - Still need to lose a few more % til the abs start showing properly though!

Was tempted to start some kind of boxing training though!
