Have you done these? I have been wanting to try them out for some time but I have a permanently sub-optimal shoulder so I have been reluctant.
my wife is half my age, she’s always buying me these shiny tight shirts, they don’t suit a guy who’s only goal in the gym is to make sure his chest sticks out further than his gut, and it’s getting to be a close call

5’10", 175 pounds, 8% bodyfat. Although it can’t be definite, at least I’d be in good enough shape to reduce the risk of hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and heart disease. I’d also be in better shape to be able to locomote faster than a walk, run, climb, or swim if need be, pick up some games here and there, and be better able to defend myself if need be. [/quote]
You are under several different delusions if you think there aren’t guys in the upper 200’s and higher who can’t “locomote faster than a walk” or who can’t run, climb and swim or play sports or who don’t have very healthy insides. And the biggest delusion of all is thinking you could defend yourself against one of them as a 175 pound twink.[/quote]
The guy posed me a question with two options: Professor X’s image of full house and the other, 175 at 8%. So being I had two choices, I picked ONE. When given a choice between A or B, you pick A or B, and your choice doesn’t have anything to do with your ideal. I love how it’s implied from my choice that I don’t think there are healthy athletes weighing 200 or even 240 plus!

How much do you know about fighting?
Have you ever been in a gym where there are many full housers?
And to think that EVERY badass full houser knows how to defend himself because he’s scary looking…

On the subject of self defense, I actually had that question for myself for a while. Before I started powerlifting, I actually fought, with a lot of time spent in martial arts along with some boxing. I used lifting to supplement my fighting. Eventually, I got bit by the iron bug, and had to choose between lifting and fighting. When it came to self defense, it boiled down to the thought that I could either be a smaller guy who knows how to fight when the time comes, or I could just be so big that it serves as a visual deterrent and I don’t need to fight in the first place.
It’s not like I can get in the head of a predator, but I would imagine they would pick “soft targets”.
Although either way, I haven’t been in a non-sport fight since elementary school, so it doesn’t matter, haha.

Very good, reasonable post.
When I answered the questioned, I answered it in accord to what I want, and how my body functions PERSONALLY! When I gain a certain amount of weight, whether it be fat or muscle or combination of both, I get worse and worse athletically and when I take a boxing class I usually take Tuesday nights now, I become worse and worse. If someoen functions better at a higher bodyeight, or has all the time in the world to do effective cross training, hats off.

Good pic. I say you’re on way to very good shape! Congrats!

In a recent interview, Holdsworth said he’s 14% bodyfat at 285.
And here we see an example of how a PREFERRED look has nothing to do with who wins a fight. Here we see Tim Sylvia defeat the beloved Mariusz Pudzianowski, who supposedly in some people’s eyes should’ve won because of his accomplishments in ANOTHER area (strongman) and how he LOOKS.

LOL. It doesn’t have anything to do with being “hurt”. I was showing that people ARE acting like that whether you claim you can see it or not.
Not the point. You made s statement that implied simply being leaner always makes you look better. This is not always true and it isn’t always just the face that is the concern.
Yes, someone might just look more impressive carrying more body fat to the eye other people.

I have no issued with SteelyD, not have I or would I call him fat. I just know I personally don’t have that as an end goal. Why drop his name??[/quote]
Because you dropped someone else’s. I returned the favor.
Simply put, many people would think someone like Steely D is more impressive than even Stu if they saw him in the gym.
How is that for name dropping?[/quote]
many people would think steely is a big guy who lifts weights, but to say he is more impressive than a top natty pro. what kind of drugs are you fucking on?
It’s also an example of a full houser who CAN defend himself. I myself PERSONALLY am a clumsy bastard past a certain size and bodyfat level.
