    Which do you think looks bigger/better?

    A 18" arm at 16% bf or a 16.5" arm at 8% bf?

    yea bro, defintely keep on the cutting track.. I dont find it impressive at all when I see BIG/THICK guys with no defintion or shape whatsoever.. I could eat everything I saw day in and day out and get to their size over time.. you see much less people who are really lean and in shape.. I rather be one of those ppl..

    depends on who is stronger in my opinion. Looking strong and actually being strong varies. This is the typical debate between bb'ers and strength athletes. As a strength athlete I say the bigger the better! Mass moves mass!!!

    believe it or not, i like the bulky look..to me, there is a big difference in how big i look when i have the same muscle mass @ 16% compared to a lower 12% or so

    shredded is better than a tub of cheese. unless your datinga really fat chick then it may go hand in hand to be a tub
