Being big was fairly important to me in my teens and 20's. Even though I'm just about as muscular now, I'm more concerned with my overall image. I see so many goofy looking, juiced up guys at my gym and watching the way they walk, talk and act, they come off kind of stupid looking overall. Being muscular with great poportions and lean, combined with charisma, intelligence, and class is way more impressive than your average oafish gym guy. If you want to stand out, you have to have everything, not just be a dime-dozen bulked up, puffy faced, inarticulate doofus.
