I know there has been a poll on this subject before, but this one has more/different options.

skinny, medium, big, huge, or freakish

Posted by: clemson357

option 6:
beer belly

Posted by: ihateschoolmt

About 10 pounds more than big. Is that beer belly real? It's not even saggy.

Posted by: bio-chem

i want to be muscular, but still considered lean. im currently 6' or maybe a shade taller and 170lbs. tops i want to be 180lbs

Posted by: silencer

I want to be around 220lbs with about 7% Bodyfat , that would be outstanding for my frame, but very possible... My frame is reasonably large. Basically a Bigger Bulkier Version of Brad Pitt in Fight Club, with still being ripped. Im currently 6'2" 185ish lbs

Posted by: Du

My vote - Huge

I wanna be big. Even thou I still have a loooong way - got interested in BB only a month ago and my current weight is 166lbs.

What's considered big (weight) for a 5'10" guy?

We have very similar goals.

I am also 6'2", and would like to be about 230ish with about 7% BF. I'm not really sure what that would look like, but I have a picture in my head.

I don't know, though. I probably won't be satisfied even when I do reach my goals. You know how that goes...

Posted by: gr81

freakish for sure!

Posted by: BigDyl

Option G: None of the above. I wanna be repusively titanic, and make ronnie coleman look like a skinny amateur.

Posted by: simbh

Just BiG for me

Posted by: Flex

I'll take whatever physique you consider this:

or this:

Posted by: iMan323

very medium & ripped

Posted by: stonev16

I wana be medium with a ripped stmach like that guy..... Dammmmnnnn chicks must love that. That kinda build is actualy what i want to eventualy have. i dunno were i want my Body fat to be.

Posted by: Mags

gotta be arnold, victor martinez or flex wheeler size for me.

Awesome. Im sure you are much closer to the goal since you have been training longer. I'm reasonably dedicated, and I believe wholeheartedly it is achievable with potential to go further...And Yea I suppose when you eventually get there..who knows..might wanna go further...Rock on.

Posted by: leg_press

I would pick between medium and big, because I think medium is too small and big well is too big. got a long way to go yet tho, I look like the small guy

Posted by: bio-chem

size is all relative, like medium big. where is that exactly. describe the size you all want. like with the pictures, or even the dude that said brad pitt in fight club. maybe brad pitt in troy, for a non bb physique the dude was pretty cut up.

exactly. between medium and big... LL looks good up top, don't know what the twigs look like though. i definately want wheels to go along with the rest of the package!!!

Posted by: CowPimp

I'm down with "big." I don't need to be monstrous, but I want to be noticeably larger than your average guy in street clothing. I also want the strength to match.

Posted by: KarlW

Wouldn't mind this look......

Posted by: leg_press

I'm with vince it's a pain in the ass that I don't put on any weight and I might have to eat like a bitch but LL cool J is bout the size I wanna be , he even has my name ( Jim)

Posted by: musclepump

I'd take the Jay look if I could do it without HGH and insulin and all that weird shit

Posted by: derekisdman

Who is that in the big picture anyway? It looks a little like Zane but I think Zane is bigger than that..

Posted by: Martinogdenbsx

well i say big-huge because that guy who is classed as huge must find every little movement so hard being that big

Posted by: GIZmo_Timme

Medium but with bigger pecs and quads.

I also think that Flex Wheeler looks awsome but i dont want to look like that, you know if I did i would scare the shit out of the girls.

Posted by: Luke8395

I'd like to be frank zane.

Posted by: simbh

I wouldn't hate being like this

Posted by: derekisdman

Yeah I'd say zane has my ideal physique

Posted by: Musclebeach

FREAKISH.

However Mariusz Pudzianowski's physique would definetly be okay with me... as long as I had his incredible strength to go with it.

Dont wish for a fantastic physique, get out there and work your ass off to get one! "If wishes were wings pigs would fly."

how could you not want to be that big??? lets see, I like looking good. hows that? I like when women look at me and don't turn away in freakish disgust. Is that a good reason?

I like being big enough that people can tell I am well built when I am walking around with my shirt on, I don't want to be so big that everyone points at me everywhere I go.

so how big does someone who is 5'11'' have to be to not be "skinny" in your book?

as for your "I wasn't talking to him" argument, it is a public forum. If you have something private to say, use a private message; otherwise don't complain.

LMAO... your big but not that big. Keep in mind a good percentage of personal trainers are morons and the people they train are morons... Im small compared to you and I have girls tell me that Im to big and I need to stop lifting. WTF??

Im convinced that girls all want skinny guys so that they can bully them around.

-Jeff.

EDIT ~ I do have a question though... what the hell is this a grammatical English debate forum? Clemson so what if he used the wrong tense on your or you're or w/e the hell you were correcting him on. This is a place for people to learn more about bodybuilding and share eachothers knowledge and opinions with one another... at least thats what I think it is...

Looking "good" is only your opinion. If you don't like the huge look, so what. Others do.

And women do NOT look at huge BB's and turn away in freakish disgust. Arnold has fucked more chicks than you know personally, and today's BB's pull some of the HOTTEST chicks in the world (figure models).

Personally i'd love to be fuckin' HUGE and have people point.

Premier, you never answered my question:
How much does someone who is 5'11'' have to weigh to not be 'skinny'?

Posted by: Yanick

since P isn't here i'll just give you an estimate. I'm 5'8-9'', 215 and not even close to being big, so the minimum is 200 even though that wouldn't even be big, just a little built.

Posted by: sgtneo

200 is not skinny to be 5.8-59 and be skiny you would ahve to be below 160-170 im 5 foot 6.5 and just voer 145 but im not really skinny anymore, getting more defined and bulked so it is a bit ott 200lbs minimum unless you have a different view on skinny, remember its imho

Posted by: derekisdman

5'11 569 lbs.

so, in your opinion, 200 lbs is the minimum I could be and not be skinny?

yes, keeping in mind not skinny does not=big.

Posted by: derekisdman

You can't judge it just on weight. I mean if you're a 5'11 and 190 with 5% bf you're a pretty big dude. If you're 5'11 220 30% bf you're going to be fat and scrawny.

Posted by: PreMier

Yea, Yan is right. 200 would be a decent weight at 5'11". I'm 5'8" 200 right now.

Derick(

) Im sure he means in the 8-15% range. Any more than 15% and your starting to get fat. IMO

no i said you won't be skinny anymore, that does not mean you'll be big though. you'll just be out of the 'skinny' category, medium build whatever you wanna call it, but big is BIG.

Frank Zane and Steve Reeves are the ideal physiques in my book. They are sub-200 and have godly symmetry that just cannot be had to the same degree in larger physiques. A good test for this type of physique is whether the person can pull off a Reeves or Zane vaccuum pose. I've noticed only their types of bodies can pull that off, and not even Arnold ever could as he says in his latest encyclopedia.

For competition physique I like Zane, but for everyday beach pimp tightness it's gotta be a Reeves body.

Your blatant hatred of Arnold is continually fogging the truth

Look at how small his waist is while his freakin chest comes out to his elbows.

IMO that's even MORE impressive than Zane's, cuz Arnold was so much bigger and still had that great vacuum.

And i wont poke my self to make my self look like someone and then hurt my self worse in the long run !!

Posted by: HalfManHalfAmaz

I'd say huge to freakish as at 6'4", 285lbs I'm already plenty big. If I keep training and god willing, keep growing, huge and freakish are the next logical progressions. I don't know who here watches wrestling, but, I'm working toward a Dave Bautista-like physique. I say that because his frame is similar to my own in that his joints are fine and his neck is relatively thin considering his size. My neck is "only" 18.5 inches, where most guys my size have necks 21 in. +.

I did. Thats what I'm talking about. A fatbox like you shouldn't be talking shit to people who actually have definition. You think you are the shit because you were born with a barrell chest and broad shoulders. I know guys who look like you and don't even workout. I was born skinny and worked for every pound of muscle I have. I have a lot more definition, and I guarantee you I am stronger relative to body weight.

5' 10" is average, not tall. tall is 6' and above. IMO. I am 23 and I think I grew about an inch in the last year but I'm not sure. My gf seems to think I look taller.

I will take that cookie!

If you think that is 'skinny' you are just a meat head. I never said I was big, but I know I have a good muscular physique.

My buddy is 5'11'', 140. Now that is skinny.

Also, I'd like to point out that Premier started getting personal first. It usually takes a lot for me to insult people.

At 19 yrs old, I was 5'8" and 160lbs(check the pic, I have no shame from where I came).. then I found IM, got smart, and grew. So dont give me that "But I had to work hard bullshit". Im 22 now, and about 14% bf.. at 212, so what?

Oh, and its funny that you say your stronger relatively.. because smaller lighter people will always be stronger LB for LB. Thats the way gravity works, heavier weights are heavier and harder to move no matter how big you are. But you'll never be able to move weight like a bigger person. Do as Yanick suggests and EAT.

define 'below average intelligence' - insult someone then immediately insist that you never have.

I don't really care anymore. I wouldn't trade bodies with you for a million dollars, and I am sure you feel the same way. Personally what impresses me (and I think most people) is defined muscles first, then strengh, then mass. You seem to be the other way around. Also, when I say well built I mean muscular; not big. If I mean big, I say big. Someone can be well built, or well-put-together, at almost any weight, IMO.

btw, that makes absolutely no sense. strength should always be considered relative to bodyweight. a smaller person is not always stronger pound for pound. My buddy is 30 lbs. lighter than me and he can't even bench his bodyweight.

you might be able so bench 300 lbs, but if you weigh 290 then it is nothing to brag about. someone weighing 180 lbs benching 290 is much more noteworthy.

PreMier is right, heavier weight is harder to move period. the strongest person in the world was that little hercules kid, he benched like 210 at a bw of 70 or someshit, impressive but thats not big weight really...thats what PreMier means that lighter people have the advantage in lb for lb contests.

Posted by: clemson357

no, people who are more muscular and ripped have the advantage. it has nothing to do with your actually weight. there are people who weigh 120 lbs who can do 25 pull ups, and there are people who weigh 300 who can do it.

to say that strength relative to bodyweight isn't a good indicator because small people have an advantage is absurd

Posted by: Dale Mabry

Strength is related to cross-sectional area, unfortunately volume is more related to weight and has no bearing on strength save for the cross-sectional area. So, if you have 2 people that have 17" biceps and one of them has longer biceps, they will be capable of producing the same amount of force in a bicep curl. Problem is, the person with the longer arm will be creating more torque around the joint because the moment arm of the force is greater, so the same weight will be more difficult and the longer-limbed individual will be doing more work. The person with the longer arm will also typically weigh more assuming all body parts are in proportion.

I like to define strength in terms of work, not just the weight being lifted, that levels the playing field.

But it is 100% true, look it up. It is so true that they made formulas to take that into consideration.

Being a smaller guy I see where Clemson is coming from. I mean honestly, if someone wasy 290lbs and can barely bench press their BW it is really hard for me to give them any props whatsoever. However, no matter what lifting big weights is impressive. I will always give props to anyone that can do something like double their BW in a bench press no matter what they weigh. Little Hercules gets a ton of props for putting up 210 at a BW of 70lbs. I know that it is not BIG weight like say a 600lb bench press but still it is friggin incredible. I am quick to give out props for great feats of strength no matter what the body weight.

However, I give no props to guys that are lean and muscular at 150lbs with very little strength to show for it. I could careless if you are ripped at 165lbs. That is not impressive to me. If you are strong at 165lbs I give you props.

I saw video of that, he did it with an EZ curl bar and the spotter yanked it off his chest.

Anyone who can bench twice their BW gets mad props from me.

Oh, I never saw it. I just heard about it.

Yea, benching or even squating or deadlifting double your BW is a great feat IMO.

I am liking these olymic lifts more and more. I like the fact that form plays more of a role in them than say the bench press. Sure form is important in the bench, but you need to control less than say a clean. I would like to hit 1.5x my weight for a clean.

Yes, form is a huge part of it. Technique is everything and the slightest bit off in timing means a missed lift.

look, I understand what you are saying about torque and limb length, but that does not equate to "smaller" or "lighter." A thicker person is going to do better than someone with the same cross sectional area but longer limbs, that is true. But what I am saying is that a person can be thick at any bodyweight. Therefore, a "small" person does not have an advantage pound for pound just because he is smaller or lighter.

Posted by: Cowbell

I am torn. I agree with clem because I am small (weighed 135 in high school benching 170...currently 150 benching ?) and I could out lift or lift with people a lot significantly bigger than me...I had a harder time with bench due to my size but I kept up or passed in other stuff. I also agree with Dale about length of limbs because we had fat short guys pushing heavy weight but they did not have to move it as far.

Overall: P-funk, you are my boy....

who cares what you weigh...just because you are 180 does not mean you dont work as hard as a 300...and just because you are 300 does not mean you didnt bust your ass to get there.

Posted by: Cowbell

besides, you dont bust your ass off at the gym for other people, you do it for yourself. Just keep doing your thing and stop worrying about what other people think. As long as you know you are giving everything you have who freaking cares how much weight you can throw up as long as you are happy.

Say 2 people have 18" biceps, but one person's arms are 15 inches in length and the others is 20 inches in length. They are both able to generate the same amount of force. Let's forget moment arm and torque. Whose arm will weigh more? Obviously the dude whose arm is longer will weigh more so the lighter person has the advantage. So, the smaller dude will be able to generate the same amount of force at a lighter weight, so lb/lb he is stronger. Hence, people with shorter limbs and that weigh less have a natural advantage since force is only related to cross-sectional area, not length of the muscle. Coincidentally, people with longer limbs are able to achieve greater speed of movement.

BIG... About 235-245lbs. with <10%BF at 5'11. Very easy goal for myself thank God... Probably 19-20 inch arms (rock!), 33-34 inch legs, 19 inch calves, 56 inch chest... Something around that size.

Currently have about those measurements but not the conditioning so I have some work to put in...
