i feel, as a man, in todays day and age, you need to be 220-240 pounds to be able to hold your own in a street fight.
seeing bodybuilding from this perspective, it's about survival. this is no joke, this is life or death shit. you walk around under 220 you are in SERIOUS DANGER of getting seriously hurt or even get killed in todays society.

tyson 220. holyfield 215.
they got it.
josh barnett. big dude. solid 250. you wanna take him on with your below 220 pound body? good luck.
crocop. solid 220+ all his career.
stipe miocic. 240.
overeem. was skinny once, realize thats not way to go through life. been more or less solid since.
-
then we have the light heavy weights, they might fight at 205 but they all walk around at 220+.
ryan bader, anthony johnson, rampage, jon jones...
the streets dont have weightclasses, if the lightweights, welterweights and middleweights of the ufc cant take on the heavier guys, what makes you think you could on the street?

"The average American woman now weighs as much as the average 1960s man"
you realize this? not only are you in deepshit against another man, you are at risk at getting beaten by a WOMAN!!

Having been a man in the 60's, I can tell you that people (men and women) were a lot thinner than they are today.

yes i just read about it:
The average American woman weighs 166.2 pounds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As reddit recently pointed out, that's almost exactly as much as the average American man weighed in the early 1960s.
Men, you're not looking too hot in this scenario either. Over the same time period you gained nearly 30 pounds, from 166.3 in the 60s to 195.5 today
Overall weight gain since 1960 is slightly greater for women (18.5 percent) than for men (17.6 percent). And both sexes have gained roughly an inch in height over the same period, which accounts for some of that weight gain.
But story is mostly one of growing girth, and it basically boils down to three factors: we're eating less healthy food, we're eating more of it, and we're not moving around as much
-
I can say I feel my best and confident fighting wise at 240 at 6'1.75",been much heavier and felt slow and been 215 and felt weak.So for me 240ish is perfect but I will say the toughest guys I've ever fought or knew were all under 200.

yeah height plays of course into it, but still, i feel you need to have a certain weight these days considering how big people are getting (even women!)
-
best fighting weight for a man is 180lbs.

not against one 220 or more.

Inread the same thing.
My fights (not streetlights... I mean fights with rules) in the 220s cut down from 240 I did well, but my last 2 were under 200 (190's) and got 2 knockouts weeks in a row by guys i outweighed by at least 20lbs. (Granted i did those on a whim last min and had been "off" for months and and hasn't trained/sparred in forever.
Still have headaches and memory issues and those were months ago.
-

LOL look at this skinny loser trying to justify his fragile bodyweight, at my currently bodyweight of 265 I could bearhug you and break you in half.
-
yes 180 pounds is a non-survival weight.
i mean you have to worry about women even at that weight at the rate things are going.

Your bodyweight argument has nothing to do with this.

there's no real argument here.
or there wouldnt be weightclasses.
and with people getting bigger and bigger, even women, under 220 is not an option if you want to survive in the modern world.
knowing this, bodybuilding is taken to a whole other level - life or death.

You're making the implication that you know how to fight. You're not taking out a real fighter just by being big. If you think otherwise you need a reality check.

like Royce Gracie cared in the original UFC when he completely destroyed everyone MUCH heavier and taller??
-
heck.. even Royler destroys everyone 2x his size

Nick and Nate Diaz weigh about 160. They can handle themselves on the street.

Please walk into a decent Jui jitsu dojo and tell them what you typed. I bet a 145lbs guy will have you walking out with your tail between your legs.

Why a 9mm? and not a 45mag or 38special?

Why a 9mm? and not a 45mag or 38special?
Excellent question. One thing to note is that the Barretta M9 is the standard issue for the military so perhaps he is in the military or just a casual fan.
As far as 45mag, does that exist? I'm aware of 44mag and 45acp. Both of which are more powerful than a 9mm and would have more recoil and less shots on target in theory. The ammo for those big guns are also much more expensive than 9mm.
38 special is weaker than 9 and it is also not an auto ammo, it is used in revolvers. I am not sure of the cost of .38 special but I imagine it's close to 9mm but not certain.
-
Natural?
Of course Bruce Lee was natural. His upper arm was 13.5". So, if he was doing PEDs, then you should tell all the juicers out there what drugs he was using, so they don't waste their money buying any of them!

No .45mag. 45acp and 45Long Colt (which you can also shoot out of a .41 shotgun, But the bullet will tumble since the barrels arnt rifled.
Berreta M9 is the military "name" for it. Civillian name is 92f/s. Never been a fan. Don't feel comfortable in my hand. I prefer an HK USP 45(or 9)... Or ideally a 1911, especially a double-stack 1911. Preferably in .45acp, but the 9s, 40s or even 357Sig are ok as well. (Unaware of as 40 or 357Sig in dbl stacks though). Not a fan of firing pin pistols, I like a hammer. Also a big fan of the FN Five-Seven. Super high velocity round. Fort hood shooter had one. Ppl complain aboutbstopping power but all 13(?) of his victims were 1 shot 1 kill. My issue with 9s and 40s is over penetration, esp with +p (hot) rounds. 45s don't typically have that issue. I don't wanna round passing through a wall and hitting one of my kids (or neighbors)... Which is also why I prefer birdshot in self defense shotguns instead of slugs/buckshot..... Unless you're tony montana, then just run an FN-SCAR or tactical FN-FAL lol.
.... Sorry went off on a tangent.

.38 cost depends a lot on the brand (tarus, s&w, exp...) You can get a Charter Arms 38 for less than $80. Better off getting a .357mag and shooting .38s out of it for practice (they'll fit)
.38s are garbage though.
Fun guns? Desert Eagle .50 A.E. or a double barrel 1911 ( they exist.$ for about $9k)
Justbplease god don't waste any money on a Hi-Point 9/380 or a Brayco. Lol.... Actually, I had a Hi-Point .40 tact carbine that was actually pretty good for the $180 I paid for it. Had a beam, flashlight and hologram.. 5" groups at over 50yes ain't bad for home defense. Plus they look intimidating
Norinco makes an Uzi with a 16" barrel & seminauto (for legality) for about $280... Home envader will th I k twice if they see it. Lol.
If u go ar15 if you go with a C3 11.5" barrel you loose the fps those rounds need to be effective. U can get away with it on an ak. (Course those all need SBR licenses)

Nate Diaz has admitted if he fought a 220 guy in a "street fight" he'd be fucked.
Think of the power behind a 220lbs man.. The leverage.. As well as the ability of the neck to withstand the torque his neck will absorb.

I enjoy a good discussion. I really liked The idea of birdshot for home defense until I saw a YouTube video of a college girl getting shot and it really just stunned her. She survived the shot and was able to walk away. Mind you this is just a college girl not some dude breaking into your house at three A.m. on drugs. Maybe birdshot is fine but you may need more than one shot.
-
College girl shot close range with bird shot. Walks away.

Uea, but it gets their attention and I don't risk shooting my kids or wife or Gf or both.

Any quality modern hollow point in 9mm is more that enough to take down a bad guy. I'm not crapping on .45 but it's not like the old days as far as stopping power.
The Beretta 92 is a fine sidearm, I've had one for years, but these days I prefer the Glock 19. Got one a while back and I love it. Dependable, light and easy to conceal.

unless your on drugs or over 6.7ft tall your going to be over 20% bodyfat at 220.
-
my comments:
1. giving examples of exceptions to the rule (like pro boxers under 220) doesnt help you. 220+ is still superior.
2. there's tons of situation where you cant, or wont, use a gun. you have a very false sense of security if you think carrying a gun will solve all situations.
my only conclusion here is that getbig is full of very tiny people because i didnt even set the bar very high, 220 pounds for someone bodybuilding year after year is hardly unachiveable.

After watching many live Muay Thai fights in Thailand of fighters weighing from 55-70 kg's, its clear that their extreme speed combined with technique is what makes them so dangerous.

Haha yes, and during discussions on the issue they always quote there superior speed as to why they would fuck the bigger guy up

Yes, all politicians, historical world leaders, military leaders, dictators and leading business tycoons and billionaires are all huge and bulging with muscles.

In a post apocalyptic/anarchy scenario it's not going to be like Fist of the North Star where we all compete in a martial arts style fight, skinny guys who are good with guns will fuck up the over muscled guys lol.

just stating facts. if they were not facts, weight divisions wouldnt exist.
please give examples of smaller guys in the ufc that can jump 2-3 weightclasses and fight light heavies and heavies and win.

did you see the you tube video of overeem fighting four lightweights
he threw them around like they were girls
being short and small means you are weak and unable to be an alpha
-
IMO
Woodley & Lawler
possibly, but woodley is walk around weigh 200.
thing is, if weight didnt matter, well it woudlnt matter. you should be able to go back and forth all day over the weight divisions. clearly that is not the case and at best you can pick a couple of exceptions to the rule (and these exceptions are of people close to the higher weightclass)

people got fed up with little thai guys so they created k-1 to see big guys fighting.
if these small thai guys had a chance we wouldve seen them fight the k-1 guys a long time ago.

^^This.
When I was kid in the 70's fistfights were the way you handled a major confrontation. You either won or lost. After it was over the losing party went on their way with his pride hurt more than his body. Getting a knife/chain/bat/gun pulled on you back then was rare. Today it is a different story entirely. You could get shot from just looking at someone for too long.
For those who are able to get a carry permit, a gun is your best defense/deterrent. Most often all you'll need to do is pull your shirt up and show it to them... 99% of the time they'll back down.

Wasn't there some thread here eons ago about how bodybuilders could flex to make their muscles more dense and therefore become more bullet resistant.

Sounds like a Tunza Muscle/Light Weight Baby/ratherbebig type of topic.
Always quality threads by that gimmick.
Thanks Mods!!!!!

Bigmc trying to justify his permabulking ways, thinking just because he overweighs his opponent with 20-30 he will have the upper hand :D

You guys seem to be confused the op was about a bodyweight of 220 pounds of people who lift and workout to get there, if you are a fat out of shape 250 pound guy who doesnt lift then a 180 pound gym rat would be stronger and more powerful so of course he would win the fight.

Havnt had a painkiller since april 13th and that was the 1stnxanax is had in longer than that. Xanax and lithium sent painkillers, they're benzos. You try going 3+ days w/o sleep... See how you feel, esp if you be had 2hrs sleep in the past 5-6nights.... And that's NATURAL for me. I'm no tweaker, i rarely drink a 6oz cup of coffee
why cant you sleep?
I never understand it with people who claim they cant sleep, your body will make you sleep when it needs rest
-
Hadnthensame problem since i was 14/15.
try reading some of Fallsviews posts.

if you are on tren and there are a lot of pharmaceutical drugs that will make you unable to sleep, the first time I took tren I took sleeping pills also to sleep then I got hooked on the sleeping pills I went cold turkey to get off and I went for almost 3 days unable to sleep before I finally did.
-
there's no real argument here.
or there wouldnt be weightclasses.
and with people getting bigger and bigger, even women, under 220 is not an option if you want to survive in the modern world.
knowing this, bodybuilding is taken to a whole other level - life or death.
Yes because we all know muscle mass and size correlates with fighting skill and technique. You dumb fuck. All bbers would easily beat a trained mma fighter or boxer lol ::) Quite possibly the stupidest post in the history of getbig.
-

;D
All the gimmicks here nowadays, not even any originality

everyone falls asleep eventually
Thats why people who say they cant sleep are time wasters, if you cant sleep then do something productive with your time, your body will tell you when you need sleep.

Went to high school with a Bunch of Asian dudes ago looked like Bruce and never trained a day in their life... Aside from working at families hole in the wall restaurants till they went to college. (Grew up in Viet/Lao/hmong neighborhood)
Since you weren't with them 24/7 you wouldn't know 100%.
I'm sure some of them training and lifted something more heavy than a plate the 20 minutes of the day you weren't inspecting them.
Someone could have a heavy book under his bed for example, someone could have done lats pullups at the playground for example
Or maybe a pushup or two before bed/after waking up.
You never know with those sneaky gits.
-
Nope. Didn't sold shit.
Sure, I knew a bunch of gangsters who'd bench press everyday, but regular kids? Didn't do shit except work, pushup and study... Some didn't even do that (& became gangsters later cuz they dropped out. Majority of those guys are doing 50+ yr sentences for shooting people. Asian gangsters rarely fought.... They'd wait a few days after getting beat up or jumped, and they'd shoot you. No sense fighting if they knew they'd lose.

Not so sure about it....
regarding self defence, this is pretty accurate:
-
Your weight doesn't matter when someone has a gun
THe heavier/bigger the target the easier to hit.

Yea but the punishment we can absorb.... Thicker neck is less susceptible your head is to twist and slap your brain against your skull.
(That being said, probably already mentioned it, myblastb2 fights I fought under 200lbs and got knocked out by guys who were 20-30lbs lighter... Course they were better trained and I was about as un-trained as I've been since I started 15yrs ago [when I was rag-dolled by Pan-Am games medalists. Lol... I was just a grappling dummynfor them basically]).

I wasn't referring to using a little .22, I was referring to a real mans gun.

Actually there is some truth to what the OP is saying (even though he's a lame gimmick). But height plays a role here as well as body composition. 220 would be a good weight for someone who is fit and has a height of maybe 6'2. For a short guy around 5'6, then a fit 180 or so is probably good. I'm 5'10 and feel somewhere around a fit 190-200 is good. People can talk all day about fighting skills and of course they matter, but it's all relative. Conor mcgregor may be able to kick anyone's ass here on getbig but that's irrelevant because a 6'2 220 pound version of Conor mcgregor would kick the real conor mcgregors ass. If you find yourself in a street fight situation and you are 6 feet tall 150 pounds, there is no denying that a 200 pound version of yourself would hold his own much better. Of course in a street fight, weapons may come into play and weight may not even matter, but if we are talking fists only then yes weight very much matters.

yep,that's why they have weight classes in boxing, but i'd say that middleweights to light-heaveweights are the most dangerous as they have both speed and power
-
hw are and will be most dangerous.

Must say, if a fighter like this falls over me, there is not much i can do besides die choked on puke from the stink induced vomit.

Agreed.
so why there are no heavyweight champs who weigh 80 kg? 120 kg trained fighter will always be more dangerous than 93 kg or 80 kg. you guys are talking out of your ass.

Fighting in the ring according to sporting rules you have to pace yourself to last 12 rounds and have to deal with damage over a long time, you're also fighting with gloves and your movement is limited by the ring and you're not allowed to use attacks to the joints, knees, eyes, groin or throat or attacks designed to kill.
Rocky Marciano, the only undefeated heavyweight champion weight was 85 kg's at 5'10 and he defeated fighters considerably heavier and taller than him.
In Thailand and Burma they never used to have weight categories until relatively recently, before that they fought bare knuckle with no rounds and no ring.
In Burma they still fight bare knuckle and can head-butt and mostly don't have weight classes.
Also, for at least the past 6000 years people have generally used weapons to fight each other in real life.

They also fight until the 3rd knock out, meaning if you get knocked out you can still continue they let you, if you get knocked out again and want to go on you can. Only until the 3rd KO do they call the fight.

BUMP!!!
My browser takes me to this thread every time I go to the index page for the boards, and asks me to log in from there - so I decided to finally read the whole thing...
i feel, as a man, in todays day and age, you need to be 220-240 pounds to be able to hold your own in a street fight.
seeing bodybuilding from this perspective, it's about survival. this is no joke, this is life or death shit. you walk around under 220 you are in SERIOUS DANGER of getting seriously hurt or even get killed in todays society.
Hang on...are you saying that your goal is...
240 or Bust?!
;D ;D ;D
Looks like NarcissisticDeity was right about the owner of the ratherbebig gimmick - none other than vintage Getbig poster 240 or Bust. ;D
Nice to see that long-time conspiracy theory got settled here nicely. :)

Epic thread.
My best friend growing up was a golden gloves boxer and took muay thai for like 15 years.
He's about 155 pounds, 5'9".
I've seen him steamroll the 250 pound gorilla bouncers at night clubs.
He used to do it for fun. Loves to fight.

Bruce was fast and skilled, but he would get mauled to death by an amateur MMA lightweight today.

For about a minute when I was in my late 20's I weighed 225 lbs. I can confirm that it scared at least one person off. I sensed someone was following at night when I was walking to my car. I turned and in my meanest voice told them to get the fuck away from me. He literally ran away. So it was either, my size, my ugly mug or the angry voice that worked. ;D I have never weighed anywhere near that much since that time. Currently I am hovering around 180 lbs.

Thanks for saying that....even though nothing could be further from the truth. When I was in high school, this fellow picked a fight with me. It lasted all of about a minute before it became obvious that I had no idea how to fight. He said, "forget it" and walked away.

220 pounds is not the dealbreaker, midgets below 5'8" at 220 pounds will still be targets.
You need to be at least 6'2" (with good reach on arms and legs) and have decent size (220 pounds and higher).

Weird because my girlfriend is 5foot2 120lbs and no one has killed or hurt her yet maybe being an intelligent lawyer can help you avoid fighting to the death in the streets

Exactly there is a big difference between your average 220lb slob and a 180lb athlete the athlete is going to take that all day

I can say I feel my best and confident fighting wise at 240 at 6'1.75",been much heavier and felt slow and been 215 and felt weak.So for me 240ish is perfect but I will say the toughest guys I've ever fought or knew were all under 200.
You measure your height in 1/4 inches. Very interesting. Did you check your height in the morning or evening. It is not uncommon to shrink over the course of a day.

I used to be 6’2” years ago and the. At the time of that post I was 6’1.75” now I’m 6’1.5” haha.I usually weigh myself naked at 5am after I go number 1 and 2 but height I’ve always done later in day.

So, midgets are the best fighters?

So, midgets are the best fighters?
I'm thinking 185 cm with good reach is the most optimal size for speed and power
-
So, midgets are the best fighters?
Pound for pound yes lol but he is correct little guys fight their entire life no one ever fights the big guys most big guys are less skilled. Of course they also don't need as much skill if they are bigger
