It takes a minimum of 4 or 5 exercises to train each main bodypart , at least 3 exercises for the smaller ones and this can add up to a total of 20 sets"-Arnold Schwarzenegger

honestly?

this will sound very arrogant! I already have the body I want, I just need a little bit more detail work.

I have been training for 16 years now, so I guess I am happy with physique.

Yeah Prince!! I luv your answer.

bigpump, while I think it is good to admire a body that you would like to acheive I also think that people are so darn hard on themselves that they forget to be happy with what they have, what they have done or the reality of what their body is like.

But, I do admire Holly McPeak (not a supermodel) because she kicks ass on the court and has a great volleyball body. She is in my journal.

however, when I was a teen I wanted to look like Franco Columbo!

His book on bodybuilding was the first one I ever read, and since he was short and stocky like me I sort of related to him.

I don't like the "bodybuilder" look, personally.

I prefer a more athletic look, like olympic sprinters, for instance.

That said, if i catch WWF on TV on occasions, there are some lads on there who look awesome.

I'd wager that up close in real-life they probably are "too big" for my liking though.

I don't understand. Franco would have only been about 8 years old when you were a teen!

I must agree with TCD. And believe me, doing this twice in one week is a true test of my pride. But, the almost cartoon-like physiques we see in body buiding today just don't inspire me that much. I would much rather lean and healthy, able to perform athletically, as opposed to being an oversized, monstrous freak. Of course, at this point, while I unfortunately resemble the former, I would never wish to be the latter.

There are a few guys who I could go with. Shawn Ray has a beautiful physique, he looks hella good at like 215 or so b/c his muscle bellys are so full and his proportion and symmetry is almost unmatched, yet he isn't too freaky. Truly asthetically a great physique.
Then I gotta go with Paul Dillet b/c of that freaky chest vienage. I too have some crazy vasularity in the chest and shoulders so you know, I gotta love that shit.
Third I will have to go with Mike Mentzer b/c he is stacked, yet I think that he isn't so big that everyone can appreciate his physique, he has just a raw manly looking shape to him, but not too freaky. there you go.
overall I would love to emmulate the physiques of the BB from the 70s b/c of the symmetry that guys like nubret and columbo had, not that I don't love the freakyness, I just have no chance of getting that big.

you are aware that he is dead, right?

the reason I ask is you wrote about him in this post as if he were still alive.

I like the physique of Stan McQuay...my ultimate goal as a BBer.

I also like the physiques of the top sprinters...especially my fellow Canadians...DONOVAN BAILEY and BEN JOHNSON.

I'm not into the 225lb...5'6" pro BBer look...and definately not into the 300lb freaky HUGE look



Searching for the right balance...

I agree with CQ, I want the body I had when I was 27, muscular and lean, which I will have again by age 40

But as an example, the woman David promotes, DeeAnn Donovan has the shape I had when I was younger, except my breast are real, hehe

This is DeeAnn

Seriously I would have to say if I could look like anyone in the world, MOnica Brant. And my goal is to age like her. She definintely is not looking as hard and used and abused as some of her fitness counter parts. She is built almost exactly like me, the muscle connections and hieght and weight, so she is definitely someone I look to. This is my fav shot of her recently......

I have to agree Jenny Lynn is awesome, anyone who is short and can pull off competing against the gals who are 5'6" and over and naturally lean, more power to you. :-)



Good things come to those who wait........
