A myth? Someone 5’5" at 200lbs is pretty big. Someone 6’6" at 200lbs is thin as a rail. Relatively speaking, about 10lbs is added for every inch in height when relating the size of two different people.[/quote]

Lots of giants out there that look smallish/mediocre at 260.

I’m at 258 right now, and when I look in the mirror I see mediocrity (its just how I’m programmed). I had a roommate that looked smaller than me when he was at 275 (he was 6’6").
Isn’t it something like 10 lbs. for every inch taller, so he would have to be like 325 to look as big as you? or is that just a myth?

Agreed. Franco Columbu was 5’5 at 198 lbs, and Danny Padilla was 5’2 at 176 lbs. Put 'em over 6 foot and they wouldn’t be as big. Common sense.
Personally I think I need about another 15lbs of muscle on me, bringing me up to about 206lbs at 6". I’ve been there before, but it takes a lot of eating. Beyond that I’ll most likely be compromising rock climbing performance.
Shit, I’m probably already too big for rock climbing.
So you’re like 190? Thats like what Gary Y. weighs & he climbs way harder than me. I saw you post on his blog but didn’t know you climb. Good stuff; its rare to find climbers who actually like to lift heavy.[/quote]
Hey cool,
You know Garry? I climbed in Thailand with him last year. I was just starting out. He nearly killed(well, 3 meters closer and I’d be in trouble) me when he ripped off a flake and threw it onto the beach.
Gary is heavier than me, but he’s also taller. He reckons he’s training to stone lift in Scotland.

I’m curious when a skinny dude becomes a big dude. Whats the criteria?
I had a woman at a bar come up and say “Hi, muscles, what’s your name?”
That was pretty fucking cool.
i had a girl call and her friends call me “arms” during the first half of the night once, that wasn’t too awful.

I had a group of teenagers walk past me in a grocery store the other night and one of them whispers (loudly), “that’s ridiculous”. That was the first “ridiculous” I ever got. Usually, I just get, “damn”, “shit” or simply wait for the kids to stop crying and screaming.
I wonder what guys built like some of these competitors get when they go out.

Maybe they were just referring to the fact that you were pushing a cart full of delicious slaughtered animals.

Prof X, in all honestly, and i mean this with no disrespect, but have you ever frightened a small child, just on sight ?

No. Most kids like me. I’ve had some first hide behind their mom or dad if I speak first but then they want to touch me, hang off me or try to beat me up.

Thats funny…
It made me think about earlier posts on looking big and avoiding trouble. It seems that big guys sometimes attract wankers who want to challenge them. Maybe small mans disease becomes a relative term.

you stop becoming skinny when your dog doesn’t recognize you and your penis looks small when you are naked. IFBB pros are so big that they’re penis’s look tiny compared to their bodies.
However in my case, my penis always looks small, so that means i am just too damn big for my own good, obviously. I should probably stop trainng actually now that i think about it.
It doesnt matter that i am only 176 pounds.
even when i weighed 120 pounds i was big, because my penis looked small.
so to sum up, small pee pee = HYooooGE muskuls.
Thats how you know when your not skinny any more.
I tried explaining the above to this chick that i went on a first date with.
we haven’t been on a date since[/quote]
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! There yall go. The perfect explanation.
