LOL @ Affliction t-shirts. Didn’t know that was still “in”.

I’m the last guy to give fashion tips, but I did find a few good fitting t-shirts at Hotbodz website and if you look real hard, you may find a polo or something that does not look like a douche in a club would wear it.

Other than that, if you plan on having a chest over 50" and a waist under 40 you might as well accept that you will have to pay more to look right.

That is why you rarely see guys that big in dress clothes to begin with.

You can bet every suit you saw Ronnie Coleman in cost a good chunk of that posing money.

I mean, you may have some size on you but you by no means look freakish enough to be having that hard a time with shirts.

I also think some people in this thread are being a tad lenient with their waist measurements.[/quote]

I have a 50 inch chest and a 35 inch waist currently. not freakish, but still a damn pain in the ass finding anything that tapers like that.

Edit: Actually just remeasured cause i havent in a while, chest is 51.5 inches at the nipples :slight_smile:

As far as waist goes, the pants i wear are 36x34, and i use a belt to snug em up just a tad which is where im getting the 35 from[/quote]

ummm…we’re about the same and I weigh 40lbs less than you. how is that possible?

Lol @ wearing leather strapped bracelets. I didn’t know that was ever “in.”[/quote]

LOL…that’s the point. I probably would never wear them if they were what was “in” with the college crowd.

That shit is temporary. I had my “comical” leather bracelets custom made by a dude named “Matara” in new york. You can look his stuff up on ebay…he has his own shop and does it by hand.

Yeah…I sort of like that you can’t find some of my shit in stores…while Affliction t-shorts literally are the stereotype for “college club guy who might also workout a little”.[/quote]

Well tell that to HM who has a pretty elaborate Affliction T collection.

and I was refrencing these videos bro…

Hope your wrist gets better.[/quote]

lol those are cute leather bracelets.

I did speak my mind. I was speaking generally. I mean, if you want one directed at you also, I doubt you are as lean or as built as you would like people to think you are.

There. Now you have a call out all your own. Take good care of it and love it, squeeze it, but don’t feed it after midnight.

I’m 6.1. And no, my wheels aren’t small…skinny calves but that’s it. I’m guessing I have more density - particularly in the back.

LOL

The algebra here is more like basic math. X is hating b/c he’s trying to get lean, but he’s struggling with that as he loses mass which that little nerd from high school won’t give up like a favorite blanket.

Anyway, I detect a lot of bitch in your walk, and a lot of snitch in your talk - “bodybuilder”. Let me know when you’re ready to take off shirts AND deadlift. The way you looked at that straight bar was like you seen a ghost. LOL

I think I hear a journey song coming on: I just died in your arms tonight. lol[/quote]

That is not a Journey song.

OP, I just bought a bunch of V-necks and long sleeve t’s from PacSun a few months ago. They fit snugly but look nice enough to go out to the bars, and they were cheap as hell. My buddy, who is 6’ and 255 with wide-ass shoulders like you, wears them too. That should do the trick.

If you have the same measurements and weigh less, then you have less density, not more.

Also, OP has stated that he is basing his guesstimate for his waist measurement on the size of jeans that he wears, not on anything resembling an actual measurement. His waist is probably closer to 38" than 35".

No disrespect intended, OP, but waist sizes on jeans are not in inches.

I know this is strictly a mens forum but I have to tell you the BG is as big as he claims to be. Pure muscle, hugh chest small waist, great quads! I’m sorry but he speaks the truth!!!

Don’t be mad - you got some nice guns!

Suits, Dress Shirts, Slacks.

Go to a tailor. I know east coasters all “have a guy” but out here I’m loyal to Mens’ Warehouse. Immense inventory, savvy and fast tailors, and sales staff that know what the fuck they’re talking about.

The Jeans issue.

American Eagle Relaxed fit for whatever reason are my jeans of choice, and I’m a card carrying big dude.

Levis, dickies, carhart, may fit around my quads depending on the cut but damned if they aren’t deep enough in the crotch.

American Eagle fellas. American Eagle. If they fit too big then you aren’t big enough.

i can do things like intubation, starting IO’s, PICCS, staple wound closure, needle tracheotomy, external jugular iv’s, chest tube insertion, etc., because I have many advanced certifications, like pre hospital advanced life support, mobile field intensive care, stuff like that.

so no i do not need a masters, but it is very institution specific out here, one hospital may let the nurses do certain things, others wont.

no i do not want to leave the ed, i love my job, but several of the doctors there have been on me to go back to school and become a PA.

Yes a bunch of my Doc friends wanted me to do the same thing PA school was out of the question due to my life situation. However getting my Masters in Nursing to be equal to a PA was doable.

Just wondering been meaning to ask you, I hope to have some job sites in Cali in the years to come.

no problem! will help if I can.

ya, situational wise the PA thing is not for me. First I support 2 households with my income, plus I spend about 8-10 grand a year traveling back to Alabama to see my kids, so I cant really afford to quit working all the overtime I work now to go back to school.

second, I really am not a good student. not very disciplined, poor study habits, there is a reason I dropped out of graduate school and decided to become a trades-person, lol

third, I am at the top of the pay scale here where I work, and nurses make pretty good money in northern cali, with PA’s starting at about 90 thousand a year around here, that would be a very significant pay cut to have to suffer for several years, and I am 44 years old, no spring chicken.
