Dude, you’re not fat. Don’t worry about it.
Fuck abs man, six packs are a dime a dozen, 20+ inch guns and boulder shoulder’s aren’t. Keep on doin what you’re doin.
Actually prof x and dog305 I do have a clue what I’m talking about, as i said the numbers sounded fat having a 37inch waist and only weighing 195 is fat! But the pic proves he doesn’t have a 37inch but rather a 32 and isn’t fat at all. read the entire post next time. I grew up in a Body Building family so I know what measurements are viewed by the industry as fit,
it’s funny how many guys talk the talk because they been lifting for two years and are experts (not implying you guys but in general)luckily for me I was emersed with a die hard father every day surrounded by champion lifters, I grew up in the industry, I didn’t need to learn a workout from a mag or post when I was 21 like most people. and being engrossed myself as a lifetime learner and trainer I think I might just have a clue. Do I think about building muscle? I grew up with muscle as the daily topic at my dinner table, seeing, breathing,living, what works is information you can’t learn in a 4 year degree it’s something few experience.
Having a 37 inch waist and trying to brag that its a result of heavy lifting is crap. Most lifters I know would argue thats a result of lifting, but rather diet. Most lifters I know brag about how big their legs and arms are not how big their waist is. If someone is gonna brag about a 37 inch waist then you better have a wing span of a 747 up top or ya gonna look like crap. This probably sounds as if I have beef with ya two well I don’t I’m only defending what I said. I take pride in what I know, the guy looks good I agree.
I don’t know your guy’s approach to lifting so I would never say you dont have a clue so I only would expect the same in return. I appreciate your posts that help myself and others in our training. Keep training hard…

He said his waist was 36", not 37", and having a 36" or 37" waist does not equal “fat”. It might equal “off season” or “bulking”, but not “fat. I am truly thrilled that you grew up around diet conscious parents. That doesn’t mean your concepts of what can be allowed in bodybuilding are true. We all agree that Barney isn’t fat. Since you brought it up, however, I would guess that someone who considered a 36 or 37” waist on someone of average or above average height WHO TRAINS SERIOUSLY AND IS BIGGER THAN AVERAGE to truly be “fat” may be limiting their own progress. For someone with a small bone structure who is light in weight, that may very much be heading towards too much body fat. For someone over 200lbs, especially someone over 250lbs, 36" doesn’t mean “fat”.

As for whoever said you looked like an x-porno star, my response would be “What’s wrong with that”[/quote]
I agree.
And no, you’re not fat, not at all.
Mate you are definately not fat… and more importantly the 'tache is wicked !
My god, you’re so fat!
He’s extremely pale, but not a fatty
And in your pic I think you look like one of those mall rent-a-cops

He has thick obliques. I’m assuming you dead and squat frequently right?
I deadlift very frequently, and heavy.
Squats are thrown in some, but not a big focus.
I think the girl probably measured me wrong.
I wear 33x32 pant size.
I see your problem, your jeans are too short. You should be wearing 36x32. The longer legs will help your waist size. Good luck with that.

WTF? Since when does the inseam come first in pants sizes?
Yes, changing from 33x32 to 36x32 will help his waist size – because the first number IS waist size.[/quote]
Look at the tag on the inside of the pants next time. You might find a sense of humor in there, you dimwit.

My choices were weightlifting, swimming, cardio and aerobics. If I took a weightlifting class, then I would be following a mass produced program that probably doesn’t include things like deadlift, chin up and squats, and probably thinks the smith machine is a gift from God.
[/quote]This isn’t necessarily true. I started lifting due to a Uni class that had us design our own programs after some study. Most in the class chose barbells and dumbells with compound lifts.
