I bet a lot of women prefer skinny fit guys over steroid heads. Women might think that a muscle head is into syringes and the shady characters involved in that life style. It's not to much of a leap to think if a guy is shooting up steroids he also indulges in other low life drugs and behavior. Women want a husband, provider, friend, and someone who will take care of their kids. A muscle guy in a tight tee shirt screams I'm a dirt bag.
Seriously, I would never judge a man by the size of his bicep. Their are plenty of guys with 15 inch arms that could beat the hell out of many of the pros competing today. Function over cosmetics will always be on the forefront of my training. How many 350lbs benchers can't do 65 proper pushups in a minute? How many guys claim to use 300lbs in the pulldown with outrageous jerking lean back form that can't do 15 full chin ups. How many guys have 18" arms that are exhausted after playing two hand touch for 30 minutes? I know a guy that claims a 600lbs squat that got beat in a 40 yard sprint by a chubby soccer mom. I would love to see how shallow that squat is.
This sport attracts a lot of insecure young men. The reality is that true functional physiques are to be found in olympic lifting, football, boxing, sprinting, wrestling and other sports. The physiques in the magazines today are phony temporary chemical circus side show attractions they have little value in functional athletic endeavors.
