You know, I'm sick and fucking tired of how certain people generalize what "big" is. My point, I'm 5'7 (yeah, I know.....laugh it up.....I'm short and it just is what it is) but I am around 205 and at about 8% bf. Here is what pisses me off though. This toolbox ass clown at my gym was recently saying how he has a friend who is as "big as me" (and blah, blah blah.). Well, I meet this friend of his the other day and he is probably 5'10 (much taller than me) and can't weigh more than 190 or so. I'll say, he was in great shape and did train hard, but huge he was not. What constitutes being "big" to you? Is it height, size or a combination of both? To me it's the amount of mass you carry comparitive to your height.
-
5'10 250
-
if you are 5-7 205 at 8% you are huge. and a juicer. not that theres anything wrong with that. hope this heps
-
when i was bulked i was 270 at 5'9.5 and i didn't feel that large. but every girl i met had a brother my size.
-
To a regular person's eye, I'd consider 200lbs(at a legit 10%) at say 5' 10" to be very big. Among weightlifters say #220 at that same bf% and height. Add 10 pounds for every inch over 5' 10".

My sister in law just married this guy and had the family meet him. So we all had some dinner and hes like" jezzuz h ur a big dude!!" He asks what my arms measure and i tell him. All of a sudden he says he has a 20yr old kid whos on his first cycle has 20" arms cold. Hes been liftin less than a year. ::) But the kicker is hes going to be down soon for a visit. (thyre from out of state) Im sure hes going to look like a bag of puss. :-X
You just have to shake that kind of crap off and do it to better yourself and shape yourself how you want to be. People opinions should never matter more than your own......otherwise youll have a hard life.

5'8 and over 195 while still having abs is a big boy

Neither one of you "guys" are big. But to clarify his 5'10" @ 190 is better than 5'7" anything.
-
Always some blob who is bigger then you. I'm 5'7.5 210 lbs and i see fat fucks crushing me in size everyday. It's sad that some fatso can outsize me. Though obviously they look like shit in a tank top, in a shirt they'll take up more volume
-
Hazbin nice forearms. 270 looking huge
-

that's funny....so I guess you're pound for pound much "bigger" than me. if you're built like a golfer, you have no business on a bodybuilding website.

That my be true. However, you yourself have never seen the south side of 25% bodyfat. So who gives a flying fuck what you think ::)

youre not "205 at about 8%".
-
youre not "205 at about 8%".
actually I am and I don't think that I'm big by any means. i bust my ass training and am extremely dedicated.

This pic is actually of me at around 195 a few months ago and I'm abt 10 lbs heavier now.

dc8pack you are definitely a big dude just short. Short guys just have an aspect of diminishing returns. Once they get past a certain point it doesn't matter how big they get.they just don't look big. I'm 6'5 so it's hard for me to call any dude under 5'10 or so "big". A big guy is both taller than average and bigger than average. But don't worry chaos is the king of cankles not size.

that's definitely a valid point. I'm sure it's hard to look at someone who is 5'7 and label them as big when you're 6'5. That would be like me trying to label a guy that is 4'9 and 130lbs as big. Now I'm just bitter about being short.....thanks :)

Well trust me height isn't all its cracked up to be, especially when trying to pack on muscle.

That's probably one of the best physiques I've ever seen on here actually - the sort of physique I am striving for myself.

poor guy, does he have allergies ?
-

He has fucking everything
we gotta lower his blood pressure, get him on water pills, a nasal decongestant and over the counter allergy pill

Still manages to do that Pavlovian "thumbs up" thing that all lifters do it seems. Probably does it when he sleeps and will on his deathbed.
-
5'7" 155
5'9" 165
5'11" 175
This is the ideal weight for those heights at a normal bodyfat, for average people.
Being the same weight at 5% bodyfat would be very fit/muscular
Being 10lbs heavier or more at 5% bodyfat is where big starts
Being 30lbs heavier or more at 5% bodyfat is where huge(juiced) starts
The bodyfat being key here...it's easy to be "big" if you are +20% BF

Back when I was 300 Lbs someone told me he worked with a guy who was much bigger, at 7", 440 Lbs. ::) There must be some special place where they hide these giants who are bigger than pro strongmen.

damn now that is a BIG dude

We had a guy in our gym years ago, that had 19 inch arms. Now that doesn't sound all that crazy, but to see the man in the flesh, would just put you over the edge. He had the most impressive pipes in our gym. There were guys in our gym with 20 inch plus arms.....but not with the impressiveness of the man with 19 inch arms.
I think big is a misleading term......case in point.....how many bouncers are considered big? All of them, right? They are all 5'10-6'0 and at least 220-230. Some are even bigger.....6'4 300 plus pounds......but you take a world class bodybuilder like Flex or Shawn and you put them up against the bouncer......Flex and Shawn win every time..... Shape can give the illusion of mind boggeling size......just my 2 cents.

Translation = a smaller muscular arm is way more impressive than a fat bigger arm. Duh!

Hazbin is a monster for sure but my cousin is bigger!!! (just kidding Hazbin)

Geez! You're beastin in that pic!
-
if you lift someone always knows someone else who's bigger......I always say "I hope so I'm only 5'8" 195lbs"
-
everybody thinks they re big until they meet someone bigger than them.
then all their little world is shattered into pieces and they will never be the same again. This is why people should fulfil themselves thru their intelectual and working skills instead of their physique. This way you ll always be satisfied.

hollywood thinks these two are super buff and cut badasses capable of being role models for or young male youDths.

BOOLFUCKINGSHIT! If you are 5'7" yet 205 with only 8% fat then you can compete in the Mr. Olympia under 202. What a fucking liar

I'm "offseason" by "Hollywood standards"

look at the pic i posted dipshit. i was 195 there and was actually 206 today so go fuck yourself. some of us on here actually train our asses off and eat rather than just post on bodybuilding forums. it's a lifestyle not an internet hobby for me.
-
You just need to be tall and fat
pure non trained barrel body
Wide hips wide ribcage
creates much more room for water and fat storage that gives an extra 40lbs edge.
Not short and fat or tall and ripped.
Even a ripped Ronnie gets dwarfed by a tall fat girl.
Height, water and fat is the formula.

when this pic was taken my arm was probably around 19" . if Vince stood on stage that day his arms would look 21" because of the size of his joints, bone etc. in a t-shirt i look bigger than him, but if i was beside him onstage that day he would dwarf me and look 30 pounds heavier.

so, what you're saying is its all about perception?

absolutely!!

are you taking my advice?

absolutely!!
or it could be you are closer to the camera, standing next to a dieted down vince taylor with his shirt covering his amrs (who competes at 210 - 220 lbs)
amirite?

no actually. my arms were physically larger than Vince' arms. but they would look smaller on stage due to the small joints and insertions on Vince. now in this pic with Dorian i was closer to the camera.
