How was I wrong?
Lee Labrada is 5'5'' and competed at 170-205 lbs... I'm 5'5'' too, currently 205 lbs at 15-17% bf and dieting down.
I've already stipulated that my physique is much less aesthetic than Labrada's was... already admitted that my skeletal structure is bulkier. But the fact of the matter remains that too people of the same height; with the same-ish amount of lean tissue (my 160 lbs lean and Labrada's early career 170 lb physique) are COMPARABLE. That's all I claimed.
Same height; same weight; roughly the same amount of muscle mass... ergo comparable in size.
Add to this the fact that I'm a lifetime natural trainer and Labrada was a (tacitly) admitted steroid user.
As far as lifetime natural bodybuilders go, I'm simply fantastic. Thus I feel that I have justifiably reached my long-term goal of a "Labrada-esque" physique and feel no shame in referring to myself as such... those who have met me in real life (remember real life, trolls?) will gladly attest to this.
