Yeah, I guess my view of an athlete or superhero has a level of leanness to it - not necessarily shredded, but not fat. I watched the Fury v Wilder boxing match a few years ago and was genuinely upset that the fat guy kicked the muscular guy’s butt.
I would say that the guy in the bottom photo would still look pretty jacked with a shirt on.
On-camera superheroes also don’t stand next to anyone large. Being relatively lean and having some muscularity in the arms and delts goes a long way on-screen
The superhero look is 50% being tall and 50% training your brachialis.
Hey, we tall folk are stretched out. I can’t wear the standard pair of jeans from the mall, but I look like I have chicken legs. The short calf doesn’t help, either.
@Frank_C you’re too kind, thanks.
It does however seem to me that saying chaos is the plan is an oxymoron. The use of the word chaos insinuates a state of confusion or disorder. This is in total contradiction to the word Plan. Any way it doesn’t really matter what I think, this is your race and you seem to running it pretty well.
One could say it’s chaotic
Well it confuses me every time I read it. LOL
We call it a paradox 
It does seem a bit contradictory. But if things are going to be chaotic, you might as well plan it that way. 
Love it. The planned chaos paradox 
Time that fill out right and it could be dramatic
Happy May everyone! It’s warming up, is everyone ready to let the guns out?
My performance goal was a rounding error away from being met.
Trail half marathon was spectacular. I had an absolute blast and PR’ed. Perfect weather. Lots of rabbits to chase. I’m still riding the runners high.
I had a performance goal of a sub 2 hour half marathon. This race was done with zero taper, and was the last 13 miles of a 40 mile run week. A deload week on lifting was the only training pull back I did leading up to it.
Half marathon time - 2:00.13 (So. Close.)
The course was 13.5 miles, official finish time of 2:04.05.
I was 20/200 overall. 10/128 female.
Not bad for going in tired.
Since I’m not going for asthetics right now, this race photo may be a more appropriate “after” photo.
I had been stuck at 179-181 for what felt like forever (but was probably 2 weeks) and finally woke up at 177 today… Putting me 1 pounds away from my 20 pounds lost goal… Waist is down from another 1/2" from mid April too
I had half a mind to just hit 176 and call it but given we are this close I might just finish out May and see where the chips fall.
This got a solid laugh from me. Thanks for the quad-pliment!
