Asians are naturally way smaller in size/build, that's why.

This is silly since most successful bodybuilders are short-asses in the scheme of things. You pretty much have to be under 6 foot these days. Dex, Lee etc are pretty short but Dorian and Jay are only a whopping 5'9", jesus most of my mates are taller than this.

Sonny Schmidt was Samoan, and huge as hell, plus "Chinese Hercules" son used to train with Flex Wheeler, he looked pretty good, had a great chest

. when asians get muscular they have this undescribable elegance to their appearance and they arent usually seen as meatheads because they also are smart in other trades.

yeah right keep telling yourself this, over and over again. "Undescribable elegance", I want to toke on what you're smokin'. Whether they be Asian or otherwise those who are heavily into bbing, sacrifice in other areas as well. It's not right, and I beleive people should be balanced, but that is the way it is. And aren't a lot of Asians trying to get away from the smart/ nerdy stereotype? Look at Kris Dim, Max Muscle store owner, owner of questionable arms, married to a white woman, but yet wants to be a role model for other Asians ( just get jacked, lie about your arms, diss Asian women, and get a fake breasted blonde chick, that is the way).

I'm Vietnamese and I have to admit we asians have to work a lot harder than white, black and hispanic guys when it comes to bodybuilding because we are not as blessed genetically. Plus, most asian cultures are not big on bodybuilding they view it as threatening to one's life longetivity (even without the steroids). When I was younger my mother absolutely wanted me to stay away from weight training and supplements but eventually she gave up. Despite my less than ideal genetics, in my circle of friends, I don't know any white, black, or hispanic guy who has a better physique than me. Hard work pays off.

Dim is partially right. Sort of lol. Asians do have a thicker layer of fat under their skin. It's something whites and blacks lack. That's not the reason there aren't as many in bodybuilding though. There are many reasons for that.

He's not pratially right, are you saying that a whole continent of people have the same skin and genetics? Go to a few bodybuilding shows in asia and you'll see guys ripped to the bone. Not many have pro sized mass but you'll see guys at every show in way better condition than Dim gets. He's just trying to find an excuse when in reality he seems more dedicated to his business and his family.

That's scientific fact. I don't know if it applies to every group of Asians, but it applies to many. It doesn't mean they can't get ripped. I'm saying in Dim's dim mind, he put two and two together. In other words, yes, he's making excuses.

parker, I like your response. I think what you said is true actually and it is pretty funny.

I guess what i meant by the elegance is that most asians bodybuilders or wannabe bodybuilders sport a 6 pack more often than do other races / they try to keep it lean and not big bulky all the time. We see alot of big chunky white kids at the gym thinking they are the next jay cutler when they infact do look like bloated mini off season jay cutler.

An asian guy will still never be Mr.O. You sound jealous haha. You probably weigh 145 pounds, but at least you are "elegant." hahaha.

nope, sounds like ur offended from the chunky kids part.. but thats coo. i was 145 lbs 7 years ago and yes i did sport a 6 pack back then. and yes i dont sport one during off season right now. i am more like the jay cutler wannabe chunky bloated kids right now but i still recognize the counterparts. you are absolutely right. i dont think pure asian breed can ever attain the olympia status, maybe back then in the 60s or 70s but no way they can attain that type of muscularity. they have very frail frame and its too hard for them to get any more packed than kris dim. tall asian guys have way to high metabolism or they just crap out everything they eat. ive known several tall 6 feet above asians using lots of steroids and still look really tiny when standing alone.

Scientific fact my ass, post some evidence. The two main causes for thick skin are ichthyoses and diabetes, both of which are not predominantly higher in asians, let alone applying to all asians.

there are many Asians that play in the NBA. that was my point. to make generalized statements about any group of people will most always get you in trouble.

I don't feel passionate enough about this subject to prove you wrong. There are alot of things you don't know, this is one. I'm more educated than most though. Look it up yourself. I don't care if you don't believe me.
