The arguments spurring from the minor nuances of each word and what it means to each person is getting kind of ridiculous. Everyone is impressed by different things. While some people may be less or more impressive in pictures, in real life it may be the opposite.
For example, I think pretty much all the top 10 Olympia competitors are holy shit wtf huge. Yeah, maybe Hide and Rockell are a little smaller, but with a little more bodyfat and in clothes, they would look retardedly large.
RE that fitness model Greg guy: how can you say it doesnt look like he worked out in clothes? It’s quite clear from the picture posted that he is quite developed, and like you said, has to maintain a certain size for different photoshoots.
To 95% of people I meet IRL, I am “big” or “huge”. I know this isnt true. It’s all relative. If I stood next to Prof X IRL, I probably wouldn’t even look like I lift.
Can we all just keep trying to get bigger and get along?[/quote]
Bug, I’ma need you to not have a picture of your back as your avatar while I have a picture of my back as mine, k? You could at least not post right after I do, jeez.
Oh yeah, like someone said, don’t remember who. Plitt has been much larger, though given his state in that previous photo, I probably wouldn’t consider that “big.”

Exactly. Plitt is fairly well known and if this were a few years back when he was trying to get into acting, he would definitely qualify as “big”…but he hasn’t been that size in a long time and NOW would not qualify as such.

Whoops. Messed up posting picture. He’s definitely big in this one. And omg I have the hiccups now for the first time since I was a kid[/quote]
Yea - he definitely looks awesome there. Really nice combination of shape, conditioning and size. Guy has a great physique.

I agree. So, the next time someone says, “hi gize, everyone at school thinks I’m huge so will this 55 sets program that Lee priest does work for me?”…we can show them this thread and ask them to pic out who they most look like…and then heckle them until they die.

Absolutely X - Good Thread btw.
PS - send all the “my jeans don’t fit” people to this thread too!

Ok so now that we have a pretty good grasp of the scale the real question is: What category do you think that you fall into?[/quote]
Despite the way people act on here, I am actually very dismissive about any progress I make in real life. I also do not see myself as being as big as some people act. I think I MAY be able to hit “heavy weight” dieted down but that is just me. I see myself as having things to improve upon and I’ve never dieted like that before.
I would also like to know where others see themselves…especially some of the smaller guys. We get quite a few posts here where some little guy thinks he is fucking huge.
I would say Kingbeef and Way are in the top portion of the ‘Big’ category if I had to. It might be different seeing them in person though. I’m still not too sold on the heavyweight division myself but that’s not really important.
(I’d say: skinny, works out, big, huge, holy shit… I just think the more categories there are, the more confusion there can be.)
I also think the difference between ‘huge’ and ‘holy shit’ is mostly leanness. If someone is massive with incredible conditioning then they have that freak factor of extreme size/leanness. If you’re really big but not that lean… ‘huge’ category.
That’s just how I can easily differentiate the two

X4 and it is not that different from Matthaeus List. Do not know why people were going bat shit crazy when I said Ronnie did not belong in the big category.
