So we can, maybe, learn something or give help :slight_smile:

you should point your apologize to the OP, and try to sleep more. It’s really important to sleep enough to be big and strong :slight_smile:

may be. But i dont see how his thought should be a “malus” on its rating…

no, it is not. But people started rating lower, I am saying this from what I recall.

Anyway:

I offer my most sincere apology to the OP and the subscribed guys on this thread.

(And i am not sleeping enough, not yet, hope this week things go back to normal)

his apology for what? while the OP is clearly more advanced in his training than juan, his making rude remarks about someone fifteen years his senior isn’t something to be appreciated. There’s a difference between defending yourself with a raised hand and beating the shit out of someone who poked you lightly.
Also the attitude of this site towards body hair ON A MALE makes me laugh sometimes. One would think the OP actually looked like a freaking gorilla based on some of the comments by people half as strong as he is.

Does everyone really think his physique is that bad?

I mean his first picture is creepy looking but anyone who can’t tell that was done on purpose isn’t all that bright.

I found it funny.

LOL yea there was a ton of people saying he looked like a pedophile because he is pale and doesn’t shave.

That is some dumb fucking logic.

I think it is part of the site “way”, all of us has been beaten on posting pics and we do the same to new posters.

He got that at first, we just threaded the thing out.

Look this guy avatar,

he is older than OP and trained 25 years, he got 8.8. the pose on this is good, compare to the OP or mine, there is resemblance, but in comparing we do look pathetic. And the most important thing, he is humble enough not to post to say: “hey, look how better than you I am”, instead he says hard work and ways to improve. that is what makes this site great.

I think that we all got here what we deserve, and that includes myself on that. But there is a difference among us, what we will do with the replies!. Would we fix what we think should be improved or resource to insults to deny our lacks and weak points. I am willing to take the shit posts in order to catch the worthy ones, and I think that there is no better place on the Internet to get both. but by doing so, i am aware of the risk of getting shited all the way down to my goal: getting improved.

I realize this, but the fact that he identifies himself as a powerlifter makes me think he’ll be wanting to show off his lifts.

I could be wrong, but videos makes it better for him if he wants critique.

Juan wrote in a reply to my post that I think i have done an error. In my reply i wanted to point out that if he think to have done something wrong he should point the apology to the OP non in a reply to me.

He doesn’t look like a pedophile because of his tanness or lack thereof, or because of his body hair.

He looks like a pedophile because of his creepy grin.

If someone can’t see that was done on purpose than I don’t know what to tell you…

I LOL’d

Good effort, with some more you’ll get to the numbers you want.

I just have a question:

Why, being a 180lb power lifter with around 20%bf did you start a thread on rate my physique?

Believe me, there is no way you be 16%, look at your pic forearm it has no definition at all. you are a powerlifter, so, dont care about bf. also, in you back pic, you butt is fatter than my grandmas’s. Don’t use the impedance shit to measure it, I have one stuck on 16% bf months ago. the most affordable is the navy circumference measures you neck, height, waist and gives you an approximate. Post that info, I will pm you the result or the xls for you to calculate.

Anyway. why did you want people’s opinion about your physique if you are a powerlifter? and later, do not accept people postings.

juanjromero: so you think a piece of math it’s better than a “direct” measure?

aside from dexa bio-impedance (sp? sorry…) is the best kind of bf measure.

How can a neck-height-waist be better?
which kind of formula are you using?

16% sounds a bit high to me. But the thing is that each person is different.

Why do people care about the BF%? “This is Rate My Physique”, not “Guess My Bodyfat”.

no, if the measure is made with a good large, and expensive device, it is ok and I take back. I am talking the cheap ones, the ones that, depending on how wet you are, the measure changes. I like the formula because it is easy and cheap and mainly because it is individual, if my gut increases and neck doesn’t guess what is happening?

I wonder why they don’t take the weight into consideration, but, I do only want to know if my fat is increasing, not how much it measures. so, it is fine to me. I can PM you the excel, I found it in internet, and repeat,I have used at least 4. this one is simple. besides, when I measure with the impedance gadget, someone not athletic, the difference is just 1-2%.

it is for athletic people which is not made for. also, it takes into consideration water and electrolites. I just really want to gice something to maxbm to control his fat as for my following post answering makavali.

I dont’t care for the fat itself. I care because I have read that depending on the bf% your body will be willing to gain mostly fato or mostly muscle: hormonal crazyness. I was very esceptical about, but this year i proposed to reach at least 9% bf. and got there. Later started tu bulk and guess what, my gut did not grow very much, but muscle did (mainly chest, legs gains).

When i surpased the 12% (it is not absolute, it is a 3%bf increase because i am not using a exact method). fat started to bulk faster on gut, guess what? gained a lot of weight, and just legs growed, probably most fat. That is why I worry about fat increases. Abs: don’t care (by now).

I repeat the question: why do you feel insulted about peoples posts, we are like kids: when we find someone sensible we push the wound to make it bleed again.

all the crap we wrote, came from the fact that you has been inconsisten, and close minded to our posts. this is kind of asking on the street: what do you think about this and later because you don’t like the answer start to say everyone is wrong, you asked our tought, not the truth. we ignore how fat you are, we just could give you our opinion of how you do look… when you added context, we understood your point, you want to become strong. then the opinions shifted, but the original answer stays.

I am not sure, but you don’t post on other threads, try to start something interesting on elsewhere for we post on, but be aware that we can’t always agree 100%, there is our right to think diffent as you have the same.
