Man I'm Big!!

So I watched the video from me playing basketball the other night. I am friggin' big. Not Coleman or Cutler big, but am a big mofo. Watching that video I am thicker than most of the other players are wide. When I look in the mirrors at the gym or at home I never feel like I am that big. I even sometimes think I am not progressing or am even getting smaller. Maybe b/c there is no point of reference, like another person or people nearby to compare to. Just makes me feel like all the hard work pays off when I see myself and think "****!!".

Anyone else ever experience this?

yeah, it just has to do with the fact that you are so use to seeing yourself from inside, you have no concept of how others see you. 3rd person perspective sheds a whole new light on the way you look.

Yea sometimes i feel like little 160lb guys have bigger guns or are stronger than me lol but im 210 pretty strong looking. Like when i see pictures, I feel the same way u do.

At 6 ft 4 285 lbs I would say you are a big boy. Many of us are cursed with what shrinks call distorted body image. Same way an anorexic looks in the mirror and sees a fat slob we look into that same mirror and see a toothpick. I'm 5 ft 10 261 and I still feel skinny.

Big is a relative term. There always seems to be much bigger guys around, or like you said in the mirror you don't feel that big. But, a video or a pic with other people does give 3rd party perspective. I am glad to hear your hard work in the gym is paying off.

So modest!! :D

jk bro

everyone on this site is most likely bigger than the average dude, its just hard to c that especially comparing ur self to other guys on here! like bdtr and all the other big huge guys. im never satisfied looking in the mirror, im happy but not satisfied. thats why ill probably b doin aas for the rest of life LOL... its hard to notice how big u actually are until u come to reality and look at pictures or just comapre urself to the guy next to u at the grocery store.

I'd rather look like the guy at my gym thats ripped to shreds at 6'0 190 than be the guy thats 6'0 285 with little definition

why not go for 6'0 230-240 and ripped? at that weight its not that hard to b shredded with a little hard work.

thats too big for me, most chicks dont like that. I was 225 with visible abs now i'm 215 and get more chicks. Hope to be down to 200 super ripped with same amount of muscle.

Im with Be Real on this one. I would rather be 190-210 and ripped. Than "big". Its more pleasing to look at.

I rather look like a cover model then someone like Coleman.

ya i know how you feel bro when i look in mirrors i dont see me as big, even tho my buddies telll me i shouldnt try to get much bigger.. tho im only 185, i am pretty thick being that im only about 5'7"

I'm lifting with a guy now that is 5'10 200 pounds and his bodfat is under 4% all year long and eat's like Sh*t. Veins from head to toe and is scared to go into public because his arm's are only 17.5. So it's really what makes a person feel good. Plus some people can just hold weight better than other can. Being ripped is a good thing, but if your arms are not 20 inches IMO your not big enoughs.

F*ck chicks. :dg:

I'm me for ME, no woman has a say in that sh*t.

(BTW, I've been 240 ripped and gotten a PLETHORA of fine azz brownies)

Size ain't sh*t, it's all how you spit.

I'm a PIMP anyhow, screw what they "like".

I'll make 'em like me. :)

Now THAT's modesty! :lol:

I'm at 288 b/c I am bulking. The plan is to sut up over the next 3 months. I'd like to get down to about 270 for my honeymoon at the end of may. Maybe 12% bf. That's my goal. Beside, I got a girl and she likes me being big so that's all I care about.

Swole - You are a pimp!!

I think I might suffer from this. When I look in the mirror I see the same 220lb guy I was when I started lifting. Oh well, aas is my therapy! hahaha

Great to see you have a woman who likes you big!

I see you are pimperish as well! :lol:

~SC~

A lot of the people on here are different, as for me I would rather look like the cover model for Mens health, than the cover model for Muscle and Fitness.

Yeah, both looks are positive good looks, so there is no problem with that at all.

Either one beats the h*ll out of being a fat son of a bitch. :lol:

BTW - Can't wait til I am rollin' with the 20" guns!!

:lol: Thanks bro

my girl likes me big

Studies have found that larger people die sooner than skinny people.......but skinny people lead sucky lives. I enjoy being a stout fellow. :)

I don't care what anyone thinks.......

I want to be the biggest mofo you will ever see. abs?? sh!t.....ask me about my abs when I have your shredded ass four feet in the air with my hand around your neck.

LOL.....J/K I have much respect for those that are shredded.....just not my goal.

Those studies are a bit off though. Most of the 'larger' people are overweight.

haha i agree 100%, as long as im not fat im happy. I don't care about abs, everytime i cut im miserable and want to die. I like being big.

i am all about being big also, with definition of course, don't have to be shredded. But if you just wanted to look like a men's health model why would you even need AS. Seems for that goal diet and training should be enough.
