LOL it’s a vague ass term that means nothing.
Just because mine is probably more in the favor of an off-season BB’er or non-SHW Oly lifter, I don’t see how that can be ‘whack’ lol

You are blinded by your leanness Spiderman.

And why would anyone? He looks impressive as fuck there. I don’t think he is walking around calling himself a bodybuilder either.

I’m certainly never going to argue that everyone has their goals, but I also think that some people can forget how much effect a bit of leanness can have on size. Last year, I was in contest shape in Late June, but then held my weight down quite to ensure that I’d fit into my tux when I got married later that summer. Anyway, here’s a shot I had on my cel phone (a lil’ horseback riding with my girl in Hawaii, wish it were a bit clearer). I would guess I was about 185 lbs in the shots, and while I know Cat’s got some pics on her actual camera where even I was surprised how large I looked, 185 lbs, if it’s actual muscle can look pretty respectable despite the way some people look down on anyone under 2 bills.
I’ve trained in a few gyms with my brother in law, who is a competitive strongman. We’re about the same height (maybe he’s got an inch on me), but while I usually hover around 205-210, he’s easily about 245-250. Now while he is indeed a very ‘large’ individual and it’s hard not to notice, to be honest, in the commercial gyms we’ve been in (not PLing type establishments), I think I can respectably say that I got a hell of a lot more looks than he did. What I don’t think everyone focusing solely on #s realizes is that a guy my size, of actual WNBF Pro level caliber, is going to look a hell of a lot different than your average gym rat with the same height and weight.
(and for the record, I don’t exaggerate when I say that I’m NOT 10% or under here. People seem to be sooooo off on their % guesstiimates IMO)

Okay Conan.
Anyone saying that doesn’t look BIG is kidding themselves.

Lol, you have no idea how accurate that is to me. One of my powerlifting buddies is leaning out and getting ripped as hell and I feel like I have lost him to the dark side.

I didn’t think we were qualifying full house in this thread as “Acceptable Full House For A Bodybuilder”.
I’ve never referred to myself as a ‘bodybuilder’. I don’t even feel comfortable calling myself a ‘powerlifter’ even though I’ve done PL comps.
I just like to lift heavy shit and look like I lift heavy shit.
Maybe that’s the way I’ll describe myself – “Looks Like He Lifts Heavy Shit But Is Obese For A Bodybuilder”

Neither did I! However, this thread was intended and initially posted in the bodybuilding forum regarding why people calling themselves bodybuilders prefer the full house look.

Well, you just refferred to yourself as a bodybuilder in that last line for some reason lol.
I just want to clarify: I never have said anything against a powerlifter or strongman having excess fat or being full house. I completely understand their physique is not the primary goal, it is their performance in the sport. I stated this in the first page I believe. Powerlifers and strongman being full house is not what I intended this thread for.

I see how you could interpret that. Fucking English language can be ambiguous. Let me refine:
“Looks Like He Lifts Heavy Shit But Is Obese For A Bodybuilder, Which He Is Not, But Would Be Obese If He Were One, One Being A Bodybuilder, Which He Is Not”
