I have heard people debate this before. Some say it is better to be lean and ripped and look like you don't work out when wearing a shirt, then when you get a woman alone and take your shirt off she will be surprised and be in awe at your chiseled physique. Other voices say it is better to be big and muscular and make the clothes stretch over big muscles, so everyone knows you're jacked. My personal opinion is to be big and look big in clothes. What's the point in lifting if you disappear in a shirt?

Edit: This isn't about lean vs fat. This is about big muscle vs extreme leanness.

Those who focus on this are likely homosexual or overly concerned about women.

No. I've said several times this isn't about fat vs lean. This is about muscular physique vs muscular physique.


Best is to be healthy.


What if you look big in clothes today but die tomorrow a la Scott Milne?


WORTH IT?

Unless you are a genetic freak you can't be big and lean without drugs unfortunately.

Nowadays, you aren't fooling anybody when you walk around with a huge, lean physique. 

The secret is out.  Everyone knows you are drugging.

I, personally, am not impressed by the drug body.  But I am an adult.

These guys still think it’s the 1980s when Poison and Motley Crue ruled.

"Problem"? I'm not following.

If a normal man wore a childs shirt he would look like that

Bodybuilding is about creating an illusion...

Its great to surprise people, plus you get taken seriously in other areas of life.

Normal people think bodybuilders are morons

Problem is if you are lean and healthy for longevity sake... you look like this

6'3 - 165lbs






I bicycles raced for years at 175 pounds at 5'9" and had my bodyfat tested at a local university at 9%, totally natty. That guy is a stick.

How about 12-15% bodyfat as the standard?

If you are debating this to impress women then you have already lost.

99% of them don't give two shits about muscle and leans.

It's a small benefit.

That pic which I’ve never seen of Arnold shows a tiny waist and big ass chest and shows that his arms prob really were measured at 19.5”. And he has to be 240 there.

Perma bulkers look great in street clothes but look bad on the beach.

People used to say I was small for a guy who lifts weights,then I would take off my shirt and they would think I was 20 pounds heavier than I actually was.............creating an illusion.

Underneath this shirt lies THE ANIMAL !!!!!

This is a good point. If you walk around looking totally jacked only other men from the gym will be impressed. The guy sitting across from you interviewing you for a job is not going to give a crap about how big your arms are and it more than likely makes a negative impression. Unless you are a professional athlete no one, except maybe teenagers of frat boys, cares or are impressed about big muscles.

Remember how everybody was so impressed with Brad Pitt in
"Fight Club"? The girl I took to the movie said that he had a perfect body.
Looking fit and in shape beats big muscles every time when it comes to normal people and not gym rats with a skewed view of what people should look like. Abs over biceps wins every time.

That's the truth. I saw Zane guess pose at a show and met him in the street after the show ended. He couldn't have weighed over 180lb at around 5'9".  No one would guess he was a bodybuilder.

On an old game show I think it was "What's my line" had Zane on it. The celebrities had to guess what he was famous for. No one knew he was a "muscle man".  At the end he took off his shirt and everyone was amazed.
