Besides, in my experience, being built may get you in bed once, but without endurance keeps them coming back.
So, why are you defending this position here?
My biceps are just as functional at 14" than they are at 15, 16, and 18" with the only difference that presumably they can move more weight. I don’t curl weights for ‘functional’ purposes-- I do them so my biceps will grow.
The goal of many (I would think/hope most) in this little area of the Intarwebs is to have big, nasty, muscles.
The goal of competitive swimmers is to swim faster. Fine.
The focus here is, in large part, on size and strength, that is, aesthetics.
Perhaps your position may go over better in the “Functional Swimmers” area.
I have no idea what your point about ‘bed’ was.[/quote]
My point was I felt like you were lumping in swimmers with the scrawny guys that are afraid of unsightly “bulk” and feel like they need to go throw up a couple more times so you can see their abs better. I’m just saying there is a difference between building your body for your sport, even if it happens to be a trendy bodytype, and training like the guy that wrote that ridiculous article.
The bed comment was in reference to what is attractive to girls, and I’m just saying I think they consider endurance too.

If you’ve seen Fight Club, you’d be crazy to think Brad Pitt’s physique was anything less than stellar. It was far from big and bulky; the bloated power-lifter look went out of style with bell-bottomed pants.
Yeah, those big bloated powerlifters with all those unsightly muscles are disgusting. And there is no way they could ever have abz as hawt as Brad Pitt.
If the average woman wants a boy that looks like Brad Pitt, great. More men for me.[/quote]
Who’s that guy? THAT’S a stellar physique, my definition of “not too big, but not too small either”. To me “not too big” only means the best your genes can get without extra-AAS or GH and not peaked, as in year-round good look.
This article will remind us guys who we are and what we stand for:

This is T-Nation and we don’t take any crap from AskMen.com. You know, at one point in my life, I was actually reading their fashion tips. I just knew something was wrong…
Because 16" guns certainly isn’t enough to start cutting…

That guy is Dave Gulledge, a powerlifter. He competed as a super heavy (~320) got injured and cut to 260. I think that’s how the story goes. Personally, I don’t think he looked bad to begin with.
EDIT: I think he competed as a 308. Either way, he weighed over 300
Not too big? lol He’s 265 lb in that picture and was walking around well over 300 before dieting down on about 5’8-5’10. He’s a TANK.
Dave Gulledge
One more after of Gulledge. Just because his back is unreal.
There is an interview with him floating around somewhere. Said he can GM something like 600
And, Scott M, brick shit house was the first thing that came to my mind…

That got to me too. This guy is a beast. There may be two or three people on this whole forum who could actually reach that size at all if they gave this everything they had.
He also bulked up for anyone clueless enough to think he could “slow gain” his way to looking like that.

Real beast, but there are a lot of people that could reach this physique, the big problem is inconsistency, if you trained for ten years consistently and with good nutrition you could reach something like that. By no means it is easy, tons of hard work… but not impossible
Quick. Count the number of 260+ lb near contest shape bodybuilders on this site…
Oh wait… 0? 1 at the most? The most gifted(pun intended) bodybuilder to ever come across this forum is Brandon Curry without a doubt and he will likely never be able to walk on stage at 260 lbs. This is a guy who just might win his pro card(at sub 225.25 lbs) this weekend and will likely be a successful pro in the next few years. Incredible hard training and decades of big time eating will put huge amounts of size on anyone reading in this forum, but to think A LOT of people can get to that level is an absolute joke. GENETICS rule this sport whether you want to think that or not.
Dave used the best tools at his disposal, he became incredibly strong(700+ lb benches 800+ lb deads etc) ate himself up to enormous bodyweight and more than likely used Vitamin T and it’s helpers along the way.
We could have 100 randomly selected guys do exactly what Dave did for a decade and we’d be lucky to have 1 guy end up looking like that dieted down.
Man look at his erecto spinae, largest Ive ever seen
Anyone has ever seen Longest Yard? Those ogres were a lot bigger than this guy but those were loaded up on juice…

That’s really the dumbest point of the article. Let’s say that there was no anti-bodybuilder bias in the article and doing what it said would make you look like Brad Pitt (it wouldn’t).
That’s all fine if that’s your goal…or to look like a swimmer, or Ronnie, or whatever…
But to define you goal by what you think you need to do to attract a woman is fucking stupid.
If that’s your goal then quit spending all this time working out, doing cardio or diet or whatever and spend your time trying to get RICH. Because a shit-load of rich will change a woman’s definition of what’s attractive instantly.
But we really can’t talk because awesome boobs do the same for us. Vicious circle.
Its like an article written by Guido and Luigi.

Sapp and the Indian were the only ones in that movie near this size with Sapp the only one contributing it to mostly muscle mass and Sapp is a giant (especially in Japan).
Do you realize how big 260lbs in or near contest shape really is? Again, there may be two (if we are lucky) people on this whole forum with the genetics and drive to get anywhere near that size. This man was over 300lbs before dieting down.
