no that's not it man. i'm not a toner but everyone has to know where they are. you gotta lift 50 before you can lift 100 and you gotta look like brad pitt before you can look like frank zane and you gotta look like frank zane before you can look like kevin levrone. let's say my life's goal in bodybuilding was to be 220 lean i know that would take a very long time. it's good to define what you got a few times in between to look good for summer; to not get so fat that by the time you reach your size goal you got 45 inch waist and it's very hard to drop a lot of fat and keep muscle if you're a natural. as for that stuff about women i was just making a point. it's better to look good and be smaller than be fat and bigger. maybe for bodybuilders who compete it's okay to be fat in the off season because they know they will get into condition but if you never get into condition for years and years and reach the age of 35 and you've been bulking for 10 years straight that's not bodybuilding.
COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.
we all have to play to our strengths here.
i will never be a mass monster, i will never have tremendous strength or lifts. but i do have the potential to have an extremely good looking physique(and i have a face to match hahaha), so thats what i aim for. im not an idiot whose trying to be something ill never be. with the genetics i have, if i was in the gym trying to get attention and heaving weights i can barely move, then i would be a douche. even though the biggest, strongest guys are usually fat with 40+ inch waists and hideous mugs, i dont make fun of them, i respect that they simply have to play to their own strengths, which usually means getting stronger than i will ever be and putting up amazing lifts. just cause someone cant throw around the 100's doesnt justify making fun of them...they probably started off 50 lbs lighter than you and have completely different genes and goals and potential than you.
