    I have been both a brick shit house and a lean stud... I would much rather be lean and look good. Don't get me wrong, being big was cool, but it was just too hard to do simple things. My mobility was gone, and I just felt out of shape even thought I wasn't.

    Now that I am thin & trim I feel like I am in the best shape of my life. I can still hang in there at the gym from time to time and throw up some serious weight, but I like my cardio and burnouts these days.

    The best is when there are some 'meat heads' standing around talking, and you know they are 'trying' to show off with how much they squat, then I get in the rack and do their max with perfect form for more reps, and then I make it a point to show off the small waist.

    I get no bigger joy then when these mass monsters look at me like I don't know how to go heavy. Little do they know that I have forgotten more then they will ever know about the proper way to lift.

    Looks. I put in hard work in the gym to try to look better outside of it, so if I could look better outside of the gym with less work in it, done deal for me. I'd just work out at home though so I wouldn't get beat up at the gym.

    i duno its not like the number is written on ur chest or muscles thats why i stuck with the 100 and look ripped. but i noticed when i was younger i wanted to make sure i didnt fit through doors and had to go sideways but now that im getting older i think the ripped look is better. just my opinion.

    these are the kind of posts I should be reading. I need that motivation to lift heavy again. I have been off cycle for quite sometime now. You know without a cycle it is hard to keep going!!!

    i guess it depends on who you would rather impress, men or women. i honestly don't care that i cannot benchpress 400lbs. but i would care if my belly stuck out 6 inches past my chest.

    I'd take the strength if I had to choose. Being huge with no strength would be suicide in submission grappling and MMA.
