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.

should have a bit of shape in a T shirt but not fatty big. see fat turds all the time flexing their fat arms with a belly sticking out from a GH gut ::)

Everyone had different goals but I have to agree looking like train in clothes is better as long as it’s not big with fat still need flat stomach and decently visible abs/vascular arms and legs ect don’t need to be anywhere near ripped but not a fat sack of shit

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.

So the problem is the bigger you are the more fat you tend to carry but the leaner you are the less size you have. So you can be muscular either way but if you’re bigger you may have more fat but if you’re smaller you may be leaner. Both can still be muscular

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.

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.

What is the point of lifting heavy all the time and eating 6 times per day just to look "below average" with a shirt on? How often can an adult male realistically go shirtless in the public eye? Unless you work as a lifeguard you will be covered up. Now a big well built lifter is going to have that v-taper, those thick pecs and shoulders, big arms, powerful thighs and buttocks that clothes can't obscure. That is the man who commands respect from men and inspires lust in women.

That's the whole thing. Bodybuilding use to be about strength and health. Reeves use to run a mile in 5 minutes according to him and that's incredibly fast for a guy his size. Olympic lifters have great vertical leaps and when tested in sprinting sometime around the 1968 Olympics they were found to be really fast athletes. What power lifter can dunk or sprint? Very few. That's the whole thing with today's drug scene. They are not healthy or athletic. Remember ABC's Super star competition? Big Lou did amazing in the preliminary. In bowling, baseball hitting, half mile run, boat rowing, power jerk, and other activities he beat or hung with the best athletes of the day. In the final he had a really off day. Mike Mentzer on the other hand did terrible. I remember Mike in the 100 yard dash. Incredibly slow.

This thread is about whether it is better to look normal in a shirt and incredibly ripped when removing it versus looking jacked in a shirt, the material straining to contain powerful muscles. It is not about aerobics, 50 yard dash, marathons, ballet, or anything else. Let's keep it focused.

Not sure you're responding to the original question. This isn't "what shall I wear". This is "is it better to look normal in clothes and be absolutely shredded when removing your shirt vs being so big and jacked the material from your clothes stretch out over the muscles." Not so hard to comprehend.

Not sure you're responding to the original question. This isn't "what shall I wear". This is "is it better to look normal in clothes and be absolutely shredded when removing your shirt vs being so big and jacked the material from your clothes stretch out over the muscles." Not so hard to comprehend.
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.
My response was to the part of your original post shown above that I bolded. You brought up how women react. Women react positively to men who are confident and often could care less if the man is ripped or big and muscular.

Just be in shape and get properly fitted clothes. If they fit correctly then you will look like you lift.

Exactly. Look at Conor, looks very muscular and athletic is is 155-165 lbs. But you should go to a suit store like even Men's Warehouse and usually can get your body dimensions taken for free to learn what clothes fit you. You then learn how to ask for slight alterations from a tailor to accentuate your physique. Problem is, if you buy cheap off the rack clothes, they won't alter them for that price, and those clothes all have the same dimensions and are not designed with a specific cut. They are generic Chinese shirts and pants mass produced in factories. Ross in particular does not tell you that those "overstocked" clothes you are getting a great deal on, often had an irregularity or stitching issue that most people would never notice. You want to look good in clothes?, then pay what is costs and take the time to look good in clothes.

What about vascularity? Do you find that your ultra vascularity helps or hurts with chicks?
Hurts. The only people who find it appealing and give me compliments are -- surprise! Other men in the gym. I'm not at the repulsive Frank McGrath level but the few times I asked a woman's opinion they would just generously reply something along the lines, "No big deal but you'd look better without them."

Louie was insane in the movie. As I have said before, if he decided to waste his life on bodybuilding he would have a row of Sandows until Haney, but even then Louie would have grown and matured and crush the Haney era as well.

It is better to wear whatever you are comfortable in than to worry about how good you look. Women love men who are confident. Confident to wear what they like.
I am most comfortable when I'm just walking around in my underwear.
How you dress can make the difference between you getting that job.
Sweat pants and a T-shirt is probably the most universally comfortable clothes to walk around in public. Yeah, that will scream success and attract the hotties.
You really need to think more before you speak.

Streetwear is literally the most popular fashion look at the moment, a pair of nice joggers and a tee will absolutely get you some "hotties"

a fine line between looking "jacked" in clothes and looking chunky (i.e. off season).. course the only time you can look jacked in clothes is if they are snug and a size or two too small, then you have to "worry" about wearing such clothing and what others (all negative) think of you for showing off?....
it is what it is...

Real Bodybuilders face a lot of discrimination as people still wrongfully assume weight lifters are somehow not intelligent. Also it is a tough situation as fitted clothes make people think you are showing off and off the rack professional clothes will just make you look fat

Steroid muscles will get admiring looks from muscle loving men. If you want a good physique in a suit, beach and just walking around you can't beat a soccer body like Beckham to attract the women. Just being lean and in great cardio shape is all you need. Most guys are delusional about how they look anyway. I bet there isn't a guy on this board at would rate them self under an eight when most look like gargoyles.

Are you paying attention? What does Arnold have to do with anything? He was retired after beating Lou was only 23 years old in 1975. And I specifically stated that it wouldn't be such a sure thing when Haney came on the scene. And when Lou came back it was a whole different era.
After 1975 he would only have had to contend with Franco, Zane, Dickerson, and Bannout. Easy pickings assuming he continued to improve.
I don't count the Arnold 1980 Olympia. I doubt Arnold would have returned if Lou was still active and if he did he would have lost or should have lost given the shape he was in. Lou would have dwarfed him.
-

LOL. Makes me remember the time at the Mall when this super jacked guy walking and all these teenagers were making fun of him. Say stuff like "Juiced, Roids, Fake..." all while being anonymous in the crowd. I actually felt kind of sorry for the clueless bber. No one was impressed and he was just a walking freak show.
Remember that vid when Kai was being interviewed while walking on the beach? Some guys in the crowd were calling him out on steroids and he would just deny it. So pathetic.

Haha it is True it’s mostly men that admire other men’s muscles but there is an admittedly small percentage of women that love it. When I was a scrawny little faggot like Beckam I never had a look in found it much easier being bigger (225-235 range not talking stupidly huge)

Not true. This version of Van Damme was probably the most lusted after man by women in modern history. And it was largely due to his bodybuilder physique.

Yep - for the millionth time on here- Guys get muscles to impress other guys.
Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean homo, haha. It's to show who the alpha is.
Women in general (99.999% of them) think overly big muscles scream insecurity. Besides, women want to be the center of the universe ;D

simple minded people assume you are trying to steal their girl
they also equate the tight clothes to you believing you are “better then everyone”
plus if you do it to get female attention it stops short - they may look but they assume shit as well - you are fast ass or a fuck boy - what makes a girl approach you is maybe a talent or appearance of wealth - most females think rocked up dudes are broke and/or mean as shit, or have no personalities
it’s better to wear normal clothes and have good posture, walk with your chest out, fck all the h8rs

Hey, Illuminati! Good to have you back. I haven't seen you in a while.
I think the implication is that being an advanced bodybuilder. The type that turns heads whether for good or bad, requires a lot of time and commitment. Being a brain surgeon also requires a lot of time and commitment as well. When an activity or profession requires a lot of focus and motivation it is usually the defining factor in one's identity. A high level bodybuilder looks at himself primarily as a bodybuilder. His whole life revolves around that. Not as a truck driver, mailman, cop, or fireman. Same with a surgeon. It's hard if not impossible to be at a high level of both these professions simultaneously.

I think it is best to feel strong and explosive. Too fat and you lose the explosiveness too cut up and you lose the strong. People think it is all about a look for me it is about a feeling. When you are in shape you can feel it.

Hope all is OK.
I wish you were on the thread where others were giving me a hard time for dying my hair. I remember you said that you hate having grey hair. They tell me the lie that I would look better with grey hair. And they know that how? Oldtimer even claims that the trend today is for young guys to dye their hair grey. I defy anyone to support that claim. I'm pretty open about it but know that it seems to really bother most men when other men dye their hair their natural color. They either resent it or like when they tell a jacked guy he would look better smaller and then mock him for being so skinny.
Anyway, I always live by the adage that you can't please everyone so just please yourself. The only real comments I get in real life is how much more younger I look than my real age and I much prefer that than anonymous handles on a bbing board.
During the pandemic our gym use to have "Kapuna hours". One hour reserved just for people over 50 years old. I was always stopped and required to show my ID to verify that I was 50 or over -- and I'm over 60 years old! So I may not be a cover model or a Mr. Universe but it's nice to know that people think that I look at least 10 years younger than I am.

Nah, shorts are OK (remember I'm in Hawaii) as long as it's long enough to at least cover part of the knee or lower. It's a horrible and phaggy look when I see a guy wearing mid-thigh loose fitting shorts. It's mostly old geezers or Europeans that do this. BTW, just to be clear, this doesn't apply to women. If you have the body I want a clear camel-toe and lower butt cheek showing.
If you are the "Kwon-type" then it's a muumuu or, better yet, a whale harpoon in the butt.

Why are sweat pants for sissies? They are definitely not for the well dressed man outside of maybe at the gym. There are no sweat pants in my closet. I do have a couple pair of joggers. IMO on the other hand, shorts are fine, specially in the months when it is warm enough to wear them. Some people in Oregon wear shorts year round. My personal gauge is that it be at least 70 degrees out. If it is also sunny, so much the better. If I lived in Hawaii, I probably wouldn't bother with long pants at all.

Swimmer's build. Doesn't read as a Bodybuilder.
That's what I thought when he was giving a seminar dressed in T-shirt and jeans. "That's Mr. Olympia?" I thought. Sure he look trim and fit but not a bodybuilder. Then he took off his shirt and I'm like, "Holy shit! Seriously?"
It was really something in person.

My older brother was introduced to Zane by Leo Stern at a local San Diego contest decades ago. Zane's inspiration (and purportedly Draper's too) was said to be Steve Reeves. Frank became my brother's inspiration and I can see why. Mine were always Reeves, Draper and Arnold, not that I could look anywhere near those three but it didn't hurt to try.
-
Had I ever achieved Frank Zane's physique, it would have felt like a miracle to me. He was a lot of bodybuilder's idol.
At the peak of his career he claimed to weigh 200 lbs. and was 5' 9" tall. If this was accurate, he carried a lot of weight on a small frame. I've never seen a photo of him where he looked bulky/massive. Today, he looks slim. Slim is a good choice for someone who is 79 years old. I'm not far behind him in age but I'll never catch up to him as far as his physique is concerned. He's still my idol.

Had I ever achieved Frank Zane's physique, it would have felt like a miracle to me. He was a lot of bodybuilder's idol.
At the peak of his career he claimed to weigh 200 lbs. and was 5' 9" tall. If this was accurate, he carried a lot of weight on a small frame. I've never seen a photo of him where he looked bulky/massive. Today, he looks slim. Slim is a good choice for someone who is 79 years old. I'm not far behind him in age but I'll never catch up to him as far as his physique is concerned. He's still my idol.

I think, at 6’5”, my physique here isn’t far off him. My arms are much better now but other parts lagging. I’ll be back to my best by Xmas

Why not just post a picture of yourself rather than someone else and say that is similar to how you look?
-
The photo I posted is of me? Zane, for all his years of training, dieting, competing…all I do is drink and other substances. I can do whatever I want and look good. That’s real genetic elite.
Dumbo you’re nothing but a freak
You never had any muscle either. A little twinkle
Whoa pretty touchy and sensitive for a tough guy? Such tender sensibilities. It's amazing how insecure some are when it comes to their body. How can you read that as a criticism? When you say, "I think, at 6’5”, my physique here isn’t far off him." the implication is clear, despite the awkward syntax, that you are talking about someone else. If you were a little more literate you would say that this is a previous picture of me before my injury. Using "him" is speaking of another person when it should be "me". I understand. Books aren't your thing.
I'll try to be more sensitive and understanding and avoid hurting your feelings in the future.

It’s 7.30am I haven’t slept and you caught me at a bad time. But I wanted to roast you for a while but held back. I’m gonna eat you alive slowly dismantling your freaky ass disgusting physique
I am extremely literate and have a degree in electronic engineering. Have fucked over 200 women (one can’t be sure, you lose count - not something you’ll have to worry about)
I’m going to make you cry

No, better to talk like a petulant child who got his feelings hurt. I wonder how guys like you that are so illiterate survive in this world. You must have mom fill out job apps for you.

Always a good sign when someone tells you how many women they fucked.
Boy, you really got me good. I'll never recover knowing how many women you fucked.

You are an abomination

I'm flattered to see that I am now included in your daily schedule and now an important part of your life. I hope I don't intrude too much on your fucking of hundreds of women being the self-proclaimed big stud that you are. It never fails to impress complete strangers knowing how many women a guy has fucked.
You go girl!

That's a very good physique. Lean but not too lean, small waist with a good V-taper and not overly muscled. Well done.

I was implicating that I think you’ve had sex with little to no women. I would bet my left testicle that you’ve been with several men though.
If you were smart, you’d have the wherewithal to know you look absolutely ridiculous. If you walked into my gym I wouldn’t be able to stop laughing at you.
Also, when I posted the photo saying “I’m not far off him” I had quoted the post by prime with pictures of Zane. If you were half as intelligent as you think you are you would be able to discern that the picture I posted was of me in reference to Zane.

Thank you, forgive my rants but I’m on a lot of codeine and paracetamol last few days. I got a flu (not Covid) out of nowhere. It’s nearly gone but not quite…my grammar isn’t of huge concern to me currently ;D

I didn't realize you gave so much thought to my sex life. Seems a little gay, especially when you felt it so important to let us all know you fuck a lot of women. Are there "things"?
And when you make a comment about a picture you post on your reply it is assumed that is what you are talking about. I don't think anybody here thinks you are similar to Frank Zane. But, nonetheless, much often gets lost in translation and is easily remedied with clarification. A far more secure man would simply correct me and clarify his posts and that would be the end of it but you fly off into a rage-filled with homosexual imagery and sexual performance boasting.
It just goes to prove that bbing attracts some of the most insecure, weak-spirited men than in any other endeavor. Look at you, 6'5" built like a tank, a successful career, and the mere implication or perceived slight on your body and appearance sends you into a tizzy. You can fuck all the women you want. You can flex your muscles all you want. But you are still a child.

Ah, that explains it. You are usually very reasonable and after a good night's sleep you will see this is all nonsense and not worth what could be a long, long endless protracted battle. You know me.
You're a vet so I will bow out here and consider it a misunderstanding that got out of hand.

Not far off at all and that says a lot about the importance of symmetry because you are 8" taller than Zane's supposed height. Zane was famous for his focus on symmetry in his prime.

Define 'normal in clothes' :D

He weighed 183 for the 1980 Olympia. I thought he looked amazing but everyone talks about his accident pool side where he said a pool chair collapsed and severed his urethra where he had to be hospitalized. He might have been the most ripped he ever was for a contest.
-
I had a beach chair break on me once. It cut me really bad in my back.
Could have gotten stitches but just let it heal by itself.
It was pretty bad.

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.

Same guy in shirt and out of shirt
It's all well and good to appear shredded with your shirt off, but if you disappear once you put the shirt back on then what's the point? Men won't respect you and women won't notice you. The reality is you are in a shirt 99.9% of the time you're in the public eye. If your physique isn't busting out of the shirt and stretching it to the limit, all that working out is for nothing

Wear a shirt that fits.

The shirt does fit. He's a small man. Ripped, but small. That shirt he's got on is a small. Any smaller and he'd be buying his clothes from the boys department.

Yes and a short sleeve one at that, or a tank top.

Like today, some were better dressers than others.

In my opinion it's only better to look big in clothes if you have a very high quality physique. Usually you will just look bloofy and borderline fat.

That just says it, that site is not catered for women but for men. This thread is about what women want not men.

A Jim Haislop reference! He won the America in 68 I believe, what a symmetrical and aesthetic build..to me it's as good as bodybuilding gets.

This thread is actually about looking good in clothes. But, to stay consistent with your post, women like men who dress well, yet don't over do it and end up looking foppish. In other words if the occasion calls for a tie, leave it slightly askew so your date can fix it.

That's the whole thing. Bodybuilding use to be about strength and health. Reeves use to run a mile in 5 minutes according to him and that's incredibly fast for a guy his size. Olympic lifters have great vertical leaps and when tested in sprinting sometime around the 1968 Olympics they were found to be really fast athletes. What power lifter can dunk or sprint? Very few. That's the whole thing with today's drug scene. They are not healthy or athletic. Remember ABC's Super star competition? Big Lou did amazing in the preliminary. In bowling, baseball hitting, half mile run, boat rowing, power jerk, and other activities he beat or hung with the best athletes of the day. In the final he had a really off day. Mike Mentzer on the other hand did terrible. I remember Mike in the 100 yard dash. Incredibly slow.
Because Mentzer had no real muscle endurance which is what you get from doing volume. Funny how mentzer used that sprinter analogy in his writings yet was so slow at sprinting himself. Mentzer was so full of crap.
