We're talking apples and oranges here. When you say:
its what you 'look' like you can lift.
you're defining 'competitive bodybuilding' in the traditional sense.
I could diet down to 145 and I'd be a shredded beast. his lines would be more pleasing due to genetics, but we'd be roughly the same size and bodyfat.
I'm not about 'competitive bodybuilding'. I'm also not about impressing people with how I look. I'm about slowly building muscle at 12% bodyfat, gaining strength in my lifts, and working to eventually be 200 or 210 pounds at 10% bodyfat.
The man in these pics will never be 200 pounds at 10% bodyfat. At current pace, he'll always be 140-150 pounds, 8% bodyfat. He will not be strong, which is my goal. he might "look" like he's strong, but that's not a goal I care about.
