??? Anyone of these guys posted on this thread are truely amazing people and one of a kind physique, competing or not. If I was gifted with any of these physiques I would truely die a happy man.
Absolutely...each of them is amazing. I personally just do not like that look of being that big. Never did. And each of them deserves recognition and great admiration for what they've accomplished. Hell anyone who's built half the physique of any of them is amazing.
If it were even possible for me to build that kind of physique...I would not want it. I'm a fitness guy and a triathlete, not a bodybuilder so my idea of an ideal physique is going to be different from most on a BBing board... however, since I do use some of the principals of BBing in my own training, and since some of my clients want to be bigger, I'm familiar with it...and their goals are my job... so here I am.
The problem for me is...in summer no shirt weather... I've got to look like a MUUUUUCH smaller version of that (I've got the smaller part down pat...just not the muscular
)... and my triathlon training requires a higher body fat percentage so that I've got fat to burn to keep out of catabolism... So I get to fatten up and bulk a little in winter but come spring I've got to get shredded to "look the part" for a fitness guy...and keep that look until fall. So my opportunities for gains even to the physique that I personally consider ideal are limited.
