Title: 2 things I never understood about Getbig. Please enlighten.
Post by: Mothballs on February 05, 2016, 08:33:33 PM

 Long time lurker (10+ years) and occasional poster. I come here for the commentary and occasional laughs as we all know Getbig isn't as funny as the golden era of 2004-2009. I'm just wondering if the veterans can fill me in on a couple things.

1. Why so many threads and deep discussions on the height of Johnny Bodybuilder? What's with the height thing? What is to gain as far as understanding goes? Is it to compare them to you -the reader- and to try to dissect the amount of muscle per height ratio? What's the obsession about?

2. Why do people still post pics of and discuss Steve Reeves? How do people consider him "great"? He had the average build of a common gym rat in AnyGym USA. Why do Getbiggers still hold his nuts? What's with the Steve Reeves obsession?

1)weight
2) height
3) politics
4) religion
5) g4p
6) drugs
7) a calorie is just a calorie
8 ) racism

Noticed how I never mentioned anything about the actual lifting of weights.

 I guess.  :-\

 In over 10 years creeping getbig it's always countless threads about a bodybuilders height. Also. The Steve Reeves thing is weirdd. Dude lifted weights 50 years ago and for some reason he's some sort of star. What I do know is this site has never been the same. Once a proud powerful forum now a shell of its former greatness. It's sad.

1. it is generally harder to look jacked the bigger you are. And you need more amount of muscle to look about the the same size-wise as a smaller guy. Also bench press, etc. is harder.
2. Steve Reeves had a ideal physique and promoted drug free bodybuilding.

 That doesnt explain much but thanks anyway.

 Steve Reeves lifted 60 years ago. I dont see the infatuation with him. His physique is no different than the guy at All American Family Fitness center in the local mini mall with the backwards cap and bottle of pre-workout.

You might be too young for this... but Steve Reeves inspired MANY of our "Champs" (Arnold, Zane, etc...) to lift in the first place...
He made many Hercules movies!

Reeves looks better than modern bodybuilders and he was an actor. Thus, he is still liked.

Good top-8 :D I believe the explanation of the bold part is very simple, you're on the G&O section. There are many interesting training threads in the Training section, esp the sticky ones. Most activity however, is on this section.

99.9% of guys at All American Family Fitness Center or any other gyms would look nothing like Steve Reeves if you put them in a pair of shorts, although most walk around as if and/or think they have a physique like him.

Not true. Steve Reeves had proportion that 99.999% of gym rats can only dream of. You know how they say a house has good bones? Ok, well Steve Reeves had good bones. A good foundation to work off. All the proportions were right. His legs were the right length, torso the right length and width etc. He had great calves as well.

If you look at a gym rat like Mark Wahlberg as an example. Short, bowed legged, narrow torso. When you put a guy like Steve Reeves next to him the difference in quality is night and day.

Dude, you think this is an average gym rat body? Sure, there are larger gym rats, but better proportions? LMAO!

If Steve used the drugs Arnold was on and had his drive to gain size he would have been amazing. Remember he was a movie star as well which held him back from gaining his maximum potential.

To you I give tulips. I have two as well
Yours are the two lips that stores cannot sell.
But these tulips I've purchased have fulfilled their duty,
To chiefly, if briefly, remind me your beauty
As sun does to sky, you brighten my day
As squall does to sailboat, you blow me away.
We're young and we're wealthy, time our one currency
Won't you make a withdrawal, and spend it with me?
