Sorry Patricia. I should have been more clear. I meant what do YOU want to look like?
Arnold, Dave Draper, Bill Kazmaier. I’m almost there 6’ 235lb at 7% body fat.
Brad Pitt from fight club, that look would get you more trim then anything that was said
The more of the Arnold look. He was “the Beatles” of bodybuilding. Plus after he got noticed in the public because of acting everyone kind of caught on and deemed his physique the best one. At least thats what I think.
i want to be a better built version of me…
Oooooh, 'kay. I see. Hmmm. Long dark brown to black hair, small waistline, wide shoulders, nice and strong legs and arms…WAIT. I DO look like that.
I guess I'm pretty happy with how I look. I useto wish I was taller. But I can wear heels. ;-)
But if you have to know, the one woman I believe to be extraordinarilly beautiful is the French actress, Isabel Adjani. Give that woman some muscle, less BF% (IMO), and I might reconsider my answer. However, I'm pretty happy with my genes.
That is one extremely beutifull women.
I posted a similar link on a similar thread last summer. Considering that I’m a short guy with broad shoulders, dark hair and a bit of a “pelt”, not to mention a penchant for comic books, beer, and cigars, this is the look I’m really shooting for…

I’m getting there. I may need to get some dental work done though. LOL.
In certain weight classes (especially the heavier ones) power lifters are more concerned with what they can lift. In some of the lighter classes they want the most muscle the weight ratio they can get.
However, all that said. When you pass a certain percentage of bodyfat it effects your strenght (Check out the book title Ripped). I am not sure that most powerlifter are aware of this fat to muscle point, but it seems to be the case.
Hope that helps.
I’m shooting for the build that a lot of the mixed martial arts/NHB fighters have, eg Vanderlei Silva, Shamrock, Guy Mezger, Vitor Belfort. They’re not totally shredded or super huge, but they’re muscular with low BF and look like they have enough of a nice balance between functional strength and size to kick your ass.

We need to get some server space where all the regulars can post their pics and then we can critique everybody…Shit i have met soo many cool people here i want to put a name to a face–esp. the vixens and some of the jacked regulars.

Oh and me?–yeah, right between men’s health and the lower end of freakiness–arnold–his symetry (Sp?) was fab.

Like the way Lee Labrada looked in his heyday.
Good all around symetry.
I like the “bigger” wide-receiver build: lean, and long, but modestly muscular. At 6’ 197, and a former wide-out, I sort of both naturally fall into this look and really like it. It’s like a body-builders version of Men’s health. It’s big enough (providing your body fat is low) to have that freaky look in clothing, but it’s small enough to be managable and have those good cuts for bathing suits and other exposed situations…
But you have to go with your natural body type!

I would like the mens health look or to have a body like ultimate warrior
Ever seen the Fitness America contest/pagent? The way those women look - that is my goal.
just a related observation… I go to an afterwork bar in downtown Chicago where MANY very hot looking females get a drink or two… any way a long discussion happened one evening about 2 extreme bodytypes theyed be more attracted to: a Flex cover guy or a “Mens Fitness” cover guy… to my surprise the ABSOLUTE UNANIMOUS VOTE WAS THE MENS FITNESS IMAGE!.. this includes a ‘survey’ I did beyond our group of many of the other females as they’d walk by (I had a Fles issue with me which was how the conversation got started)…In fact they generally sneered at the Flex body… thougt it looked ‘ludicrous’,'compensating for small dicks, low self esteem etc…
What surprised me was how universal it was! I tried to look smaller and smaller as we talked!
Ever stand next to an NFL Linebacker? That’s what I’m aiming for. Mainly either LaVar Arrington or Ray Lewis.
I’d like to look like that figurine MAX Deadlift or MAX Squat. Those of you who read Flex or MD know what I’m talking about. Realisticly I’m working for the Arnold, Bill Pearl physique
Markus Ruhl or bust
