What do you consider to be "big"?
« on: August 03, 2010, 07:27:11 PM »
You know, I'm sick and fucking tired of how certain people generalize what "big" is. My point, I'm 5'7 (yeah, I know.....laugh it up.....I'm short and it just is what it is) but I am around 205 and at about 8% bf. Here is what pisses me off though. This toolbox ass clown at my gym was recently saying how he has a friend who is as "big as me" (and blah, blah blah.). Well, I meet this friend of his the other day and he is probably 5'10 (much taller than me) and can't weigh more than 190 or so. I'll say, he was in great shape and did train hard, but huge he was not. What constitutes being "big" to you? Is it height, size or a combination of both? To me it's the amount of mass you carry comparitive to your height.

To a regular person's eye, I'd consider 200lbs(at a legit 10%) at say 5' 10" to be very big. Among weightlifters say #220 at that same bf% and height. Add 10 pounds for every inch over 5' 10".

My sister in law just married this guy and had the family meet him.  So we all had some dinner and hes like" jezzuz h ur a big dude!!"  He asks what my arms measure and i tell him.   All of a sudden he says he has a 20yr old kid whos on his first cycle has 20" arms cold. Hes been liftin less than a year. ::)    But the kicker is hes going to be down soon for a visit. (thyre from out of state)  Im sure hes going to look like a bag of puss. :-X

You just have to shake that kind of crap off and do it to better yourself and shape yourself how you want to be.   People opinions should never matter more than your own......otherwise youll have a hard life.

Neither one of you "guys" are big. But to clarify his 5'10" @ 190 is better than 5'7" anything.

Always some blob who is bigger then you. I'm 5'7.5 210 lbs and i see fat fucks crushing me in size everyday. It's sad that some fatso can outsize me. Though obviously they look like shit in a tank top, in a shirt they'll take up more volume

that's funny....so I guess you're pound for pound much "bigger" than me. if you're built like a golfer, you have no business on a bodybuilding website.

Stalking no. Mentioning their physically deformities? While of course.

youre not "205 at about 8%".
