Me posting a picture or video of myself has nothing to do with this discussion. At all. Also, I had to laugh at your post two above. THAT is real irony. Like, situational irony. When you expect one thing and, BAM, instead you act like a child.
I agree. I’m tired of the personal attacks.
He looks really well proportioned and symmetrical. Not sure what he should improve on. Maybe a little more back width.

Not it doesn’t, but what it does is allow you to say anything with zero ramifications.
I don’t think you understand what irony is.
Not a single post I made was a personal attack, good God…

True, but I hate this much of the thread has been wasted on him again.
Let’s get back on topic.
Like admitting that Pro Bodybuilding has changed quite a bit.
small pic but I think it a nice relax side view
He’s definitely a physique that I would want
and he keeps his waist thin
His forearms seem a bit under sized. Does anyone else see that?
It’s nitpicky, but the dude is built like a tank so…

It must be the angle because that first pic in this thread they look like big cut forearms. I have seen bigger…like Lee priest, but I wouldn’t call them small or unproportioned.

Maybe so, they look big in a few of the pics, but small in others.

Like in this one texas man posted, the left forearm looks tiny to me.

I said earlier in the thread that there is just something about this guys physique that just strikes me as off. I honestly cannot figure it out but I think my subconscious mind is not being fed some element that it has come to expect from guys this size.

I’m in the same boat as you. I dont care for his physique. For one thing his shoulders and arms come across as disproportional to the rest of his body. Especially his side delts.
Shoulder training in 2011 I think.
Didn’t read past the second page and had never seen any of Max’s photos before BUT man, he looks awesome.
He falls into the “too big” category for me (I wouldn’t want to be that size) but I still appreciate guys that do it.
I think he looks good and if that fits his goals (obviously it does since he’s a pro) then good for him.
One thing that has always baffled me about this board is the stance on steroids that most posters seem to have.
Why the hate?
Saying someone is on AAS isn’t an insult and I don’t know why people get offended by it?
The biggest and most impressive guys on this board are taking AAS and that doesn’t diminish their physiques at all.
It’s part of the game.
It’s like wearing a helmet in football.
Using a bat in baseball.
Having a racket for tennis.
You can’t compete without it and its part of the game.
It isn’t an insult to ask about it or mention it.
This boards stance has always puzzled me.
I understand not wanting to be completely open about it because of legal issues but it’s not an insult to say Cutler or Phil are using.
If someone says they want to look like that, asking if they plan on using isn’t a dig, it’s just part of the equation.
Aaaaaaaaanyways
He looks good.
I agree that he doesn’t have the “wow” factor that I can’t put my finger on but he looks great.
@smashingweights I agree that asking someone if they plan on using is not an insult at all. When prof x said maxx was his goal physique I really was just curious if he planned on using to get there (not trying to get into the whole limit debate, but good luck getting their naturally I’ll leave it at that lol). I don’t see what was offensive about it.

lol, there are guys that just have “it”
It’s hard to explain (obvi, otherwise I would have done it already) but whatever “it” is, for my liking, isn’t there.
He looks good and is huge but doesn’t have anything distinguishing that sets him apart from the other pros IMO.
It’s not a knock on his physique at all.
