Title: Lean,healthy and asthetic vs big,juiced and bulky?
Post by: Howard on May 19, 2008, 07:16:14 AM
For most of us, I think we end up trying to get too big and end up just looking big and bulky.
At many regional and state level NPC shows, the best bodybuilders on stage are often those with lighter body wts. In my case , I looked at LOT better as a LT HVY, then I do at heavier body wts.
My present body wt and ( fat) bulky body is pretty useless overall for bodybuilding contests.
I might look BIGGER in clothes but I am worse as a bodybuilder. My 20" arms are big but they lack the cuts needed to be impressive.
In my humble opinion, most bodybuilders would be a lot better off ,if they opted for a quality physique and didn't do extreme level of drugs in search of a pro level body that  won't ever happn anyway (99.9%).

I see endless ads for supplements and potions that promise to build more mass. I hear of countless drugs to gain more mass. Like many in our sport, I have bought into that kind of thinking and it has done little for me. Unless I diet down, get a lot leaner and lose body wt, I can't be competetive as a bodybuilder.
At some point, you stop thinking about building a better physique and focus only on getting bigger.

HOWIE  there are many bbers who look lean and have aesthetic builds like rockel,henry,darem charles,just a few and there still considered to big for the normal population.so u know how big guys like yates and nasser,coleman really must have been compared to those guys i mentioned,lift ,eat.diet,supp clean or not and see how it shakes out.a)do not post a pro pic on your fridge for inspiration that is a defeat in itself.b)do not compare yourself to a pro build whether it is in your height or weight zone .c)no matter how good u look or train or are admired by fellow gym members,relatives,friends,there is always somewhere ,someplace either bigger,more ripped,better shaped,better genetics than you.but we can all dream.

Howard, I think a lot of kids start bodybuilding weighing 150-160 lbs or less, and at that weight size is and should be a priority.  But then they get up to 200 or so, and instead of shifting gears and focusing on achieving and maintaining low bodyfat, they keep going with the "size" thing and just end up looking like bloated pigs.  I'm sure that's Squadfather's and other perma-bulkers' deal.

Great post! I have come to realize what you posted is 100% true ( at least for me).
This is also why  prefer wt classes and like the NPC format more than the pros.
I got into this sport thinking Zane was the ideal/dream physique. I have decided to return to that as best I can.
I am also going to the Tampa pro show as Darrem will be in that one. The Olympia has some guys I admire but the emphasis is always on FREAKISH Mass.

Great reply and yes once you have gained a good base of muscle mass, one should as you say "switch gears" and go for a lean, hard physique. I have been a perma bulker these past 12 years and what did it get me?
Other than eating a lot of good food :P, I couldn't even compete in the sport I love...bodybuilding.
Had I gained a few lbs, fine, but not the 50 I did gain of which a good 35-38 ,was FAT!

Post by: El Diablo Blanco on May 19, 2008, 07:38:22 AM
I always looked my best when I'd stay as lean as possible and workout as hard as I can.  The strength wasn't as good as when I'd eat a lot to gain size but I always looked better and bigger.  I always looked bigger when lean then when I was bulky.

Great thread Howard !

Yes I believe people focus too much on bodyweight and not enought on condition.
It's incredible the difference between 4 and 5 % BF, as you get leaner even 2-3 pounds leaner makes HUGE difference on skin tickness.

Myself for example, I gained a good amount of mass this year and at this pace I will be a few pounds lighter than I was onstage last year. Weight means nothing because being ripped give the illusion of being much much bigger and muscular thant the other guys

It just hit me hard after seein Jenny win the Jr USA and seeing some winners at area NPC shows, that for most of us serious lifters,the enemy is body fat more than sheer mass.
When I am around 205 -210 lbs , I can compete in a bodybuilding contest by dropping a few lbs and ripping up.
The bigger size sounds good , but is useless unless I can diet back down and get lean.
I am even better off in a bench meet at a lighter wt, ya know the lb for lb deal.
Plus, at 250 my knees and low back hurt when I run. Other than passing gas and cleaning up at the buffet I am pretty useless at this wt  ;D

AND U LOOK GOOD ..and as time goes on your young u will fill out,but there is always a buzzkill ,u could be in sick condition ,skinnned to the bone,hard,and to achieve it u have to bust your hump,and u could be in loose shirt or long sleeve and cause it cant be seen ,some ahole who only knows what a magazine pro looks like on a f'in picture will 9/10 times say u don't look that big.

If anyone has been training for years and years,yet has no abs, or hasn`t seen his dick in ages,just in an effort to weigh more and look bigger in the supermaket,then that person is not bodybuilding,he is just lifting and eating.

Some people train,others merely workout.

Exactly what I did. Got up to about 235 but did not look that good. Just don't have the genetics to carry that kind of mass. Cut way back on juice and eating much better now. Only about 210 but people tell me how much better I look these days.

I have to agree, especially as we get older.  At least for me, it just doesn't seem practical to put on any more size without messing with my stomach, so I'd much rather continue to refine what I have and let my bodyweight fall where it may based on healthy eating and regular training. 

I've never competed, but have been working out (naturally) for roughly the past 20 years (I'm 35 now).  At 5'9", my highest bodyweight has been about 215, with a 34"+ waist.  For the past six months+ I've made the concerted effort to eat cleaner (not really a diet, just cut out as much saturated fat as possible and cut down on red meat as much as possible) all the time, rather than just to get ready for the summers.  With that simple change, my body seems to have settled around 197 at present, with a 32" waist.  I feel much better and don't look bloated any more.  I suspect at the most I'll stabilize at the low 190's and try to maintain there, just continuing to eat well and train hard and continue to improve my muscularity.  It seems like the intelligent thing to do for long term health and looks.  I never really cared too much for training for strength anyway and particularly not so as I've gotten older and have had to be more careful with things like my back and joints...

I do think there's something to the idea that immaturity and lack of experience leads one to take the route of size (and strength) at all costs.  I know for the longest time when my bodyweight was in the 160's, then in the 180's, I looked at crossing the 200lb mark as my holy grail.  Since I crossed that long ago, it doesn't really seem all that important of a target anymore...

Ya know, even an extreme juicer will hit a point where additional mass is not going happen to any major degree.
I can really identify with your reply here.I want to drop back down around 206 and be in striking range to compete.
The extra wt I now have to be a BIGGER-better bodybuilder is the ONE thing that prevents me from doing an actual bodybuilding contest.

Lean look makes more sense but can takes more discipline. It just looks better, more appealing. That becomes even more obvious with some age.

Oh I know that LOL. O couldn't resist cracking on MYSELF hehehe.

Young guys tend to need size and stay leaner , after 30 ( if you have been lifting a few yrs) the trend reverses. At 49, I really, REALY need to reverse it.
I can say, I enjoyed a lot of the trips and stuff I have done over the last decade. When I competed , I missed out on some cool stuff.

Ya, and trying to lift too heavy as part of the bulking thing also usually doesn't work with age.

I sincerely feel you are 100% right, unless you want to be a serious powerlifter , far better to back off the wt and get lean. The babes like it better anyway.

Definitely, I couldn't agree more.   I fell into the trap of permabulking and in the end I ended up feelings horrible.  The strength gains are addictive but eventually father time catches up with you.  I am going to be 31 in a couple of weeks and I realize that my metabolism has slowed down and that if I don't change my ways then I am setting myself up for years of poor health.  I lost about 25 pounds of fat in the last four and a half months and I feel great.

The strength gains are addictive, as is the looser diet. But for looking good and being a chick magnet, lean is the only way to go, they could care less about big and bulkier with a few exceptions who like "football types".

Back in 1993, I got down to a really ripped 188 and was able to win an AAU Mr Louisiana, get 3rd in my age group in the 100 m  ran 11.4 ( La Games), and ran in several 5k/10 k races.
Now I am too bulky  to run without joint pain and I can't get in a contest, etc.
The extra bulk is useless LOL.

Essentially I have been cycling my carbs and combine that with low intensity cardio three to four days a week.  My cardio lasts from 45-60 minutes but the intensity is very low.  My heart rate rarely goes above 120-130bpm.  I like this approach because it isn't a drastic jolt to my body and I don't feel my strength levels plummeting like in the past when I have implemented hyper intense cardio nor do I become so drained that I can't keep up my regiment. Burn out is a killer to any regiment.  Plus in the summers I can walk outside.  I live in Michigan so that is a rare treat as winters suck. I realize a negative to this approach is that it might take me longer to lose weight but the upside is that hopefully I will retain more muscle.   Really I just want to live a healthy and active lifestyle. My dad also died at 54 of a heart attack and that is definitely a motivator to become healthier.

Also, I have changed the type of foods I am buying, opting for organic foods.  I have also introduced healthy fats, antioxidants and vitamins to my supplement regiment.

I have seen more guys get all hardocre and try to be the next Mr Olympia. Almost every one of them ends up frustrated, unhappy and with some problems to deal with, etc. Nobody is saying you need to settle for being just ho hum avg. Look at Jenny, she just won the Jr USA!

Far better to prefect your physique on your own individual terms and not be made a slave to some established abitrary standard. Living a happy productive life by your own standards is real success.

I didn't read everything but just to point out not everyone can have suburb shape, quality, cuts etc. at a young age, it takes a lot of time.

One thing you can have when you are young is a lot of mass, which yes looks much better when refined but that takes years and years.

We have to avoid the word superb shape. Just saying % of BF is better.
Everyone has his superb shape. Maybe under 3% of BF is superb shape for Paco Bautista.

I will have to disagree with you on this. Yes, your overall shape and look is genetic, but, to maximize what you do have with a sound diet, low body fat, etc is a matter of training and discipline.

no matter what distorsion people have of how the body should look i can guaren-fucking-tee you looking normal and ripped (http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/ESP/ESP008/handsome-male-model-posing-~-2055-200125-01.jpg)will get you 10 times more pussy than looking like a big meat head (http://lengsok.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/103727main_bodybuilder.jpg)
Looking bigger might give you more respect with fellow men, but fuck, who gives a shit what another man thinks.  You just wanna be able to walk into anyroom and leave with the hottest chick/chicks.  I really dont care if the guy in baggy gym pants can bench 10 or 100kgs more than me as long as i get ass

For most of us, I think we end up trying to get too big and end up just looking big and bulky.
At many regional and state level NPC shows, the best bodybuilders on stage are often those with lighter body wts. In my case , I looked at LOT better as a LT HVY, then I do at heavier body wts.
My present body wt and ( fat) bulky body is pretty useless overall for bodybuilding contests.
I might look BIGGER in clothes but I am worse as a bodybuilder. My 20" arms are big but they lack the cuts needed to be impressive.
In my humble opinion, most bodybuilders would be a lot better off ,if they opted for a quality physique and didn't do extreme level of drugs in search of a pro level body that  won't ever happn anyway (99.9%).

I see endless ads for supplements and potions that promise to build more mass. I hear of countless drugs to gain more mass. Like many in our sport, I have bought into that kind of thinking and it has done little for me. Unless I diet down, get a lot leaner and lose body wt, I can't be competetive as a bodybuilder.
At some point, you stop thinking about building a better physique and focus only on getting bigger.

Sorry, but you are the one looking juiced and bulky.

I dont think so.
A happy person will never bitch about other taste person.
Today I was with Paco Bautista(My trainer now..) and i respect him as a pro bodybuilder  despite of my being natutral BBer.
And I will never bitch about pro even  i am a skinny natural bber. Cus I am happy with it honestly.

I'm gonna say lightly juiced, big and cut...  I've been up to a juiced 270 and down to a 225 when off, for me the ideal is around 245 with very light cycle, I don't look overly scary or bloated but still have enough mass and muscle that I'm happy with and still athletic enough to do kick boxing , boxing, etc.
