I had the pleasure of watching these dudes perform at the La Soiree circus act.
Both former gymnasts. I was amazed at the density and leanness of their physiques.

The picture I posted above doesnāt do them much credit.
But I had to post the picture of one of the dudes doing a turkish get-up holding the other dude up.

I get that they donāt want to wear the tiny posing trunks, but these shorts make it look like theyāre shy of their thighs.
The board shorts are the āuniformā of the Physique division. It definitely seems to be the running joke that physique guys donāt need to train legs, but it would appear they still do⦠3 of the same guys pictured above:

I had no idea there was a Physique division for men.
This guy-

I agree 100%. Sheās a bombshell who obviously works very hard at being hot AF. She might not be someoneās ideal, but saying you wouldnāt at least throw her a dick is preposterous.
Laura Michelle Prestin, the perfectly manicured blonde.
My ideal physique would be somewhere between Sam Mikulak:

and Liu Xiaojun:
I can get on board with this last post, definitely understand the draw. Although Mikulak looks a bit small, like heād probably not be impressive in clothes. Xiaojun, on the other hand, is ripped to shreds, awesome legs, particularly quads, he has impressive shoulders, and would likely fill out a t shirt well. Iād definitely take his physique from both an aesthetic and a performance standpoint.
Iām a bit surprised Klokov hasnāt been suggested. I would think if this thread had been started 3 years ago, he would have been mentioned almost immediately. Seems like maybe heās been out of the public eye for the most part over the last 6-12 months.
Jonty posted a photo of him earlier in the thread. But yeah, everyone had a boner for him a while back.
I totally missed that. I just looked at the girl he posted, lol. I have a boner for her. Heās aight tho.
I was at a gym once where he was holding a seminar. Heās pretty imposing in person. Friendly dude though
A friend of mine actually just got a picture with him at the Arnold today! He also got a picture with Dan Green and a few others.
Iām surprised at the lack of strongman type physiques. No one here wants to look like they could fight a bear?
the only other fitness celebrity (or whatever you want to call them) Iāve met is Layne Norton. He was probably the nicest guy Iāve ever met.
Ideally Iād be as tall as Klokov haha. However, being only 5ā6/5ā7(on a tall day) I figured Mikulak and Xiaojun are more realistic.
Yeah, I was at a Klokov seminar when he was in town, got a picture with him, somebody tried to tell me I looked bigger than him but I think they were just being nice. Mostly I was excited that the first time in the day he came over to me, he went to say something, then stopped and said āAre you weightlifter?ā I think I just said āYeahā but inwardly I was over the moon because fuck yeah he noticed!
Eh, I donāt know. The guy competes at 77kg (~170 lbs) and probably doesnāt walk around too much heavier than that. Shredded and insanely impressive, but heās not that big.
5ā8 170 lbs and shredded can look pretty big.
Iām 5ā10, 200, and not nearly as lean, so I imagine he has a similar, possibly even more imposing physique. And I get stares in a t shirt. I donāt think you have to be enormous to look great in a t shirt if you have the right muscles well developed (usually a big chest, traps, delts, etc). Having good size in the shoulder region has everything to do with the effect.
Fun time to insert a story from this weekend. I was picking up dinner at a restaurant, and on my way out, a young woman was with her son by the front door waiting for her table. She pointed at me and said to her son āWow, look how big he is!!!ā That kinda made my day.
