As i get heavier i also try to get stronger...IMO carrying around 30lbs of excess muscle you cant use is the same as carrying around 30lbs of fat.

Obviously there is a point where lb for lb becomes obselete but i try to maintain it as much as possible

you cant get "big" without taking drugs anyway so try as hard as you want, you will just end up being "in shape".

Bingo.  A few will have the genetics to hold some size, but most guys are like me.  You get to choose between big & fat or lean & small.

Besides, just being in shape is enough.  People tell me I have "big arms" and they're like 16"  ::).  Just workout regularly and eat healthy and you'll look way better than the 95% of the population that considers mallwalking to be hard exercise.

I don't know, you should ask yourself, Mr. 6'2" 150lb twink with frail 6.5 inch wrists. ::)

How are your workouts going, "big" man?

Excellent rationalization on your part for one or the other. There are some naturals who with hard work and nutrition are big and lean, or somewhere in between. All looking jacked to joe public. No need to settle for "being in shape" sans drugs, that's a good excuse for aiming low.

Agree there are some guys who can do it, but I don't consider making an honest assessment of my genetics as not being one of "those guys" to be a rationalization.  I'm still striving for improvement daily, but I'm not of the mindset that there's something wrong with me or my program just because someone else can hold superior size and conditioning.  Ok, it sounds kind of faggoty, but in the end it's a contest against yourself only, at least for me.  If I'm in better shape at 40 than at 35, then I have "won."

If you don't enjoy hearing funny/interesting stories from bodybuilding's past, then why are you here?  Are you trolling the site for cock, "Method101?"  :o  :-X

It looks good and makes up for any inferiority complex that might exist. People take notice if you are very muscular. Women and men alike offer you admiration and immediate respect for being a "big dude. All the way big dude." A thin person is viewed as weak. A muscely person is viewed as a God.

when i was a trainer most people who wanted to get bigger were obsessive about it cause they had some psychological issues. Getting bigger for most never solve these issues.

At some point i had a guy who was incredibly big and natural, but who was still unsatisfied. He was obsessed about it even if he had one of the best physique by far for a natural. I told him to ask himself why he still wanted to get...bigger.

I left this shity job some weeks later and have no idea what he s become but im pretty sure he went the steroids route. From what he told me before i left he was already interested in them.He told me he would never do that, but i knew at that time he was bulshiting me, the guy was so obsesed with the whole getting bigger thing that you knew it was his first and only goal in life. The guy looked nnormal but when you had a little chat with him you quickly found out it was like getting bigger was the only thing in his life. He was single btw.

Also I liked it how  fat people with a good base to build muscle were always asking me how to get LEANER , chiseled and veiny, while SKINNY/tall people people were interested in getting BIGGER...add MORE MASS you know... My conclusions were that gyms are filled with some of the most insecure human beings on earth and that most of them don't even find an answer, a cure to their insecurities in there, most of time it's even aggravating them or misleading.

in the end most people don't even cure their insecurities lifting weights, only a very few of them benefit from training with weights psychologically if they re smart enough to complement their physical training with some reading... too often too many people think that geting bigger muscles will solve all their problems like magic. They often overlook others things that qre way more important to their hapiness.

Way too many lifters fall in the egocentrical/narcissistic trap without even questioning the reason why they re doing what they re doing or their final goal.
