    Whats Considered "Big"?

    Mike Tyson is, or was, 5'11'' 217lbs. And some called him big.

    Im 5'10'' and want to hit around 230 or so. And to myself, I would seem like a pretty big guy.

    Is there a line between big and not big? Or is it more in the eye of the beholder type deal?

    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.

    Who thinks the rules of the forum need an amendment. Anybody who continues to speak poorly such as this guy, is at risk for a suspension.

    This guy is just putting on an act. If you go to back some of his first posts, his english and grammar is just fine. Why he would he try to come off as an uneducated person is beyond me though.

    Big is subjective.. Big is when people start poking you and asking, 'does that even hurt?'

    Mike tyson fought lennox lewis weighing 234lbs. All muscle, and trains for performance rather than just to be big. Thats a little gorilla. 5'11'' 234lbs with abs!

    To me someone big can be....A big fat ass weighing over 300lbs, hey he's Still big. A muscular big, now thats another story....depends on there height as a major factor.

    Any reason u suddenly changed your typing style at September 23rd at 805pm? Because before that your grammar/punctuation was fine.

    Thanks man. I freely admit I have fucked up self image. I see myself a little bigger than I was when I was 150-160. I also think my legs are horribly skinny. My goal weight is 240-250. When I get close to 240 I will feel big. Right now I feel I have *decent* size.

    I'm sure @ 150 you thought you'd be big at 200..


    You'll hit 250, look in the mirror and keep goin. Your legs are sick btw.

    some people would say that having a distorted self image is a bad thing, but i think its a great way of seeing yourself...

    well at least as far as making gains is concerned.

    btw, i am exactly the same way. i see myself as being pathetically scrawny. its got me fiending some more steroids

    Here is the thing. There are a hell of a lot of pros who live in NYC and I know, have met or have talked to most of them. When you're constantly around guys who are almost 300 you know what big is and I ain't big.

    Definitely eye of the beholder. In my opinion, it all depends on height/weight ratio and bf percentage. Btw Carlos, I saw your leg thread in the pics forum, and those bastards are massive! Good luck in your comp bro!
