Mad Titan on this site is big. he is clearly not that heavy and is way smaller than me, but not one of us here would confuse him as being “small”. We are speaking in terms of development here.
Onemorerep on this site is big…even though he is “small” in comparison to someone of average height.

When people say big upper body and chicken legs I think of Aaron Neville. Couldn’t figure out how to post pic so see link below. Discuss.
Are you kidding me with that pic? That’s a fat guy with little muscular development anywhere.
That’s the problem with this thread, people think ^^ is a “big guy”.[/quote]
I posted the pic as an attempt at humor, i.e. big guy with chicken legs might just be a bit chubby. I never said he was muscular (but he does usually stand out compared to other performers.)

Yeah I get you, but the extra tight T-shirt he is wearing to show the guns isn’t forgiving on his gut hehehehe

We don’t need calculators to figure this out.[/quote]
The fact that it can’t be calculated is what makes it subjective.

I dont have quad overhang for shit. All my leg size is in my Rectus Femoris and Biceps femoris. Reading the last page got me curious bout my leg size. Disappointed that Way has me beat by .5 inches, you prostitute.
Bright side is that i will lose practically NO size ANYWHERE when i cut. Lol it seems the only place fat stores on my body is my midsection.[/quote]
Maybe that’s something I can look forward too with my getaway sticks…they seem relatively fat free, as my bodyfat is in my torso.
My legs feel solid, though I haven’t squeezed any of your guy’s legs. Yet.

Which poses a problem, since im not the kind of guy to offer my leg to another for a density check. All i can hope is that you believe me when i say, “Ya, my legs are solid”

Reminds me of a story. A friend of mine works at a supplement store which also sells t-shirts. A typical “decent arms, big gut” came in the store and asked “which size t-shirt should I buy to look impressive”. My friend answer was: “A medium if you want to show your guns, but you’ll look fat or an X-large if you want to hide the gut but will look to have small arms”… the guy bought a large.

Hehe, good one! The guy made the sacrifice to show a little bit of his gut to make his arms look jacked
To most people, you are big if they see you without a shirt and you have abs even if you are anorexic. For other people, being big is being 10-15 kgs above your height in cm while being lean. For most of us, big is when you are 25 kgs at least above your height.
I wouldn’t consider that a big guy. That’s what you consider HUGE.
A guy who is 6’2 and 230lbs is big. I don’t care what anyone says…if he looks athletic whatever…the guy is big.
I don’t understand are we talking about normal people, cause any normal person would say that’s a pretty big guy. The guy you posted is HUGE lol.
If we are talking about bodybuilders than yeah the 6’2 230lbs guy might not be THAT big.
Mate i know what are you talkimg about. Take IFBB classic physique…they have to be certain height certain weight…for eg if they are 178cm they have to weigh around 87kg Maximum…not allowed to weigh any more than that.
Lets say with carb up.you get to 95kg on the day of the show but no chance because u will.overbloat so they weight maybe 93kg
I compete under 100kg and my height is at 178cm.
My comp.weight at 5% (proper dexa scan) is 100kg on the dot. Even thoigh i always placed in top 3 (amateur) i look smaller than those classic physique guys who have the same height and weigh less than me…i look like i have easy 5kg less muscle than them.
Its crazy even my wife said i need to bloody weigh 130kg to look like im 100kg lol
