Whats Considered "Big"?

[DNoMac]

haha, yep. thats the way most of us are. nothing will ever be good enough, regardless of what we achieve

Its definitely a big motivator. Sometimes it can be a problem though, I can't seem to ever be satisfied with my size. I swear sometimes i get frustrated in the gym. I need some test....

[Kale]

if u meet me in da back ally and u make it out, u is big. tyson went inta much back allys and always cummed outa dem. he big. haha dats how we deside if sum 1 b big where i com from.

Instead of big lets talk about retarded. You get my vote !!!!

yea i suppose. but honestly there came a point when i totally stopped caring how i felt. all that matters to me is how i look

but there are times when i get incredibly depressed that im not bigger. what can ya do though?

i think il hit up another 20-30 heavy cycles over the course of the next 15 years. maybe il eventually be content, or at least approach feeling content

[taiboxa]

In my opinion nobody who is under 6 feet tall is big

im 5'11 and 290... but if ur 6ft ur BIGGER THAN ME

Hell ya bro. I've got goals, and won't stop until I hit them. Then I'll just make new ones and strive for those. I just get so damn impatient, and I can't start using AAS for another 2 years which adds to the frustration!!

[THE_DOME]

i think when you hang around people that are bigger than you you feel more motivated to get bigger or when you think you are big you dont have that burning desire. I try to associate myself with people who have the same goals in bodybuilding so that we insult each other tell each other were skinny bitches, psychologically for some reason this works.

[THE_DOME]

i heard when dorian was training for the O he would wear full sweatsuit becuase he didnt want anyone to tell him how good he looked. Made him work harder to achieve his goals.

[rake922]

I never said I was big

[taiboxa]

your 6'2 and by your definition YOU are BIG or capable of becomming BIG whereas i .. who is just a lil 5'11 will never equate to someone who is 1 inch taller

exactly bro. thats what its all about

Shit, thats half the reason I wear cutoffs in the gym. It's motivating to see the muslces when they are pumped. I swear I disappear in my clothes

[THE_DOME]

i will agree with you on that one, i get the best pumps when i can see my muscles. I always have a shirt shortage in the winter becuase i turn them all into cutoff in the summer

[T3/T4 GSR]

im 5'11 and 290... but if ur 6ft ur BIGGER THAN ME

Dude post some pics thats ****in huge.

[Tren Bull]

you know whats kinda funny?

today in class i was looking at this one dude that was obviously roided out to all hell, feeling depressed that im not as big as he is. but when i came home i looked in the mirror, and when i put my arm in the same position that guy had his, i saw im very close to that size.

fu_k it though, its still not enough. i need to double the size of my shoulders and back. then i can focus on getting my arms bigger

[taiboxa]

Dude post some pics thats ****in huge.

(Sorry!)

[IBdmfkr]

Carlos, I understand where you're coming from.. I find myself wondering if ppl are joking when they make comments about being big or what not.. I look in the mirror and see an average guy with an o.k. build.. When you hit 240 you'll still not be satisfied.. I thought when I hit 220 I'd be cool but 220 is here and I don't feel any different

[taiboxa]

Real NINJAS KNOW that size DOESNT matter

[Foskamink]

Big is in the eye of the beholder. I am 5'6" 220 with abs and I'm not big. I'll feel big at 240-250.

nah u are ****ing HUGE..

basicly the way i consider big.. u look at ur height and possibly age / body fat... then u compare urself to other guys within ur age by a few years and height.. then if ur bigger then the average id say ur big.. im small for a guy that goes to the gym.. but i think im psycially big compared to the average person my height / weight that dosnt workout.. and thats why i feel so good about what i do even if im not recognised by many as somone who works hard with weights.

[V_Vandetta]

big is in the eye of the beholder for sure I am 5"11 270 now was 285 ... but in all honesty i have seen guys 5"9 5"10 210-220 ripped and looK BIG AS HELL .... so you cant really can't go by Weight numbers IMO

[V_Vandetta]

BRO i seen your AVI before YOU ARE NO WERE NEAR SAMLL IMO oppion I say 5"6 220 Is border line Monster In size ..... just becasue bro's hit 260+ size no where makes up semitry and good sematrics Is Key .... whcih from your AVI You got brotha

[Carlos_E]

I deff don't work as hard as I do in the gym to shrink lol..

I'm shrinking now. Contest prep.

[IBdmfkr]

lol.. naw you're just losing all the BS gained during the offseason.. another reason why eating clean and staying leaner is optimal IMO.

Goodluck to you and Ment.. you'll both do well.

[Carlos_E]

I never compare myself to "average." Average people are out of shape and have no idea what the inside of a gym looks like. I'd hope you feel you are above average so there is no reason to compare yourself to them.

[IronReload04]

i have always thought the best guide was 3 or 4 pounds per inch. closer to 3 or closer to 4, thats up to the person;s opinion

[Carlos_E]

I dropped about 15 pounds. Now my weight is staying the same and I'm getting leaner. Either way, I like to see the needle on the scale going up all of the time. Never going lower or just sitting there.

Thanks man. Like I said, my self perception is all screwy. It comes from being an extremely boney kid. I graduated high school at 127 pounds. I remember I could put my fingers around my wrist and go all the way up to my elbow without opening them. Now that is skinny.

[IBdmfkr]

lmao.. that's how skinny I was bro. I have an old picture on my fridge that ppl look at and ask if it's my little kid brother. 130lbs in the picture, now I'm around 220.. crazy difference.

u see i think in america its like 60% of the population are overweight as where in my countrys every one is respectable size.. the average is a respectable % and we dont have a problem with the majority being overweight and unhealthy.. australia is getting bad.. but switzerland is very fit.. thats how and why i can judge by average...most guys are 10-20% bf with not much mass... i think im like 15%.. im alot more muscular and better looking and even stronger then big.. and im happy and can recognise im better then average and its a great feeling..

[Foskamink]

I remember I could put my fingers around my wrist and go all the way up to my elbow without opening them. Now that is skinny.

hehe u were skinny... now u made me try it.. i moved like a inch before my fingers stopped touching lol.. what is ur movement now?

[Carlos_E]

I can't close my fingers now.

I am the same way. I had this image of what I thought I would look like at certain weights b4 I hit them. Then when I get there, its nothign like I expected LOL. Shit, I don't feel big at all, yet people tell me all the time that I am getting "TOO" big...especially girls... Hell, I am 6'1" 235lbs fairly lean.....they must be crazy
