Like stated before, he is a good shape…but being ripped without the muscle mass is NOT a goal in bodybuilding.
We’ve said it many times before that many of these people seem to be confusing “fitness” with “bodybuilding”. I don’t understand why they are so turned around about this.
The term ‘fitness’ is on the WORST FUCKING TERMS IN SPORTS list. In the top 3.
‘Fit’ for fucking what man?!
A ‘fat’ PL’er and or BB’er, who is getting new PR, and or more overall muscle is ‘fit’, as this guy who qualifies for the US Marines. Each camp is ‘fit’ for their own goals.
OP, your goals do not seem, to be really in line with the spirit of this forum. I am not sorry. It is what it is kid.
However if ‘TBT’ is keeping you in the gym, I guess it can’t be that bad…Still open your mind…I was ‘raised’ on an odd-system that is nowhere on the net. I don’t think it is optimal for BB’ing without ‘tweaking.’
‘TBT’ has worn out it’s usefulness, maybe? I don’t know. Are you wanting to look as close to Arnold or Ronnie as you can? Or do you think P-Diddy is swole?
My Uncle/Mentor is my fucking hero, but he didn’t have it all down. I took from him what was useful, and moved on…
PS to PX: I have read your posts before PX, and this not a dig or nothing on you.
I just hate the term ‘fitness’ and or ‘fit.’ To vague, drives me nucking futz. BTW ‘Strongman’ is horrible too ( Strongmen are cool though! ), isn’t every half-way-decent-and-beyond-weight-trainee a ‘strong man?’
Again, ‘fit for fucking what man?!’

You thought I disagreed with you? Tim basically stated that he didn’t want a “fitness forum” on the site because he was trying to move away from that “functional” mentality. It appears many here still haven’t gotten the memo.
I used the term because what else do you call people who claim to lift weights for several years but are still weaker than the average regular serious gym goer and who have little to show for all of that time and effort other than abs?
Trust me, it used to be worse here with every other newbie logging in claiming that “bodybuilding” now meant whatever they wanted it to mean…which justified their 15" arms after 8 years of lifting.
I personally would feel like a fucking failure if I spent half a decade or more in the gym and all I had to show for it was a body that no one could tell was even trained if I wore anything heavier than a size medium tee-shirt.
