Whata more important?

[manmanman]

Just curious as to what people find more important, lifting heavy or looking good?

Obviously everyone won't agree on what good looks like but I'm just looking for other members opinions, and why?

[gixxerboy1]

looking good.
I have no need to be freak strong

[dec11]

lifting heavy. i couldnt give a crap about being ripped up. incidentally, you can be both if ya want

[Eddie_m63]

looking good.
I have no need to be freak strong

Agreed

[manmanman]

Why is that tho?

[gixxerboy1]

why? Cause i dont fight anymore and dont need to be really strong. I still and always will want to look good

[The Bear 79]

Strength & agility is important in my line of work, but lookin good is also very important 2 me personally. But if I had 2 choose, I'd hav 2 go with strength.

i never got laid by being able to bench alot

[TBrah]

i would rather bench a lot less blood

[The Bear 79]

Well I've always been blessed in the aesthetics / good looks dept. (even Zyzz would b jelly..............J/K) so when I say I'd choose strength over vanity, its cuz good looks just comes natty 2 me...................(insert swollen ego here................)

[manmanman]

I quite like zyzz physique , a bit small but looked fairly good. His brother I don't think looks as good as zyzz did. He is bigger yes but I don't know. Just doesn't compare for me,

I'll
Post a pic of what body I hope to accomplish in the years to come, lemme know if you think it's acheieable natural and timeframe

[JohnnyVegas]

I am old (sorta kidding, but not completely), so I just want to look good at this point. I will continue to lift heavier, but only as a means to put on more muscle.

I agree with above - benching more won't get me laid. But abs will.

Thats gona take nothing short of a PERFECT diet accompanied by superior genetics bro. Good luck.

still fairly young @ 20, nothing but time and dreams!

At this point in the game (evoluuuuuuuuuuuuuution baaaaaaaaaaaby) strength is no longer a necessity. Unless you are a UFC fighter, or maybe a cop. Even military we fight war's in the air and even ground troops don't do hand to hand. They have thing's called gun's. If they don't they have thing called a banonet, we don't even use those anymore we have a sidearm.

Besides someone trained in fighting could woop up some big dude who can bench 500lbs. called a choke or armbar or speed.

Am I missing anything?

[Brohim]

That is RR. He claims to be natural (no roids at all he says)

I agree looking good is mostly genetic's


The fact is this. MOst guys can look great, ripped BUT it takes extreme dieting, your life has to revolve around it to look like that. And most guy's wont do what it takes to be at a low BF.

So therefore most guys are big but fat. But they can lift a house which how does that help them in today's life?

looks

I don't have a clue what my bench, squat, deadlift maxes are.

[auslifta]

If I had the choice of 15kgs on my frame or bench, I'd go frame any day. I'm strong enough now, but I'll never be big or ripped enough.

[auslifta]

Thats gona take nothing short of a PERFECT diet accompanied by superior genetics bro. Good luck.

Perfect diet, yes, superior genetics? No way. Alot of 20yo's could accomplish similar body to that. To me superior genetics are people in the top 1%, genetic freaks-Phil Heath, Arnold, Nubret, Herschel Walker, Bolt, Daley Thompson.

[Knockout_Power]

I'd sooner look good than claim to lift a ton but need a mirror to find my dick... its bad enough needing a microscope

[Flier]

Looks! Lovbyts avi

[DIESELPWR]

It's all about looks but I'd like to be as strong as I can while looking good

[dec11]

i never got laid by being able to bench alot

nothing i love more than the accomplishment of pulling a big deadlift or hitting a big squat and the bar bending. i dont even rate benching as a strength test. i will say that i wouldnt ever want to be above 15% though.

5 out of 7 dancers at the lap club i did said they preferred the strongman/rugby player look over the ripped look any day, go figure!

i think if you have competed in some form or another it changes your outlook on why exactly you train.

oh i agree. My priorities have changed over the years. When i was younger strenght and fitness was more important.

[Times Roman]

hmmm.... good question.
lessee....
well, i'm an ugly fukker, so obviously can't be too worried about looking good.
and at my age, I shouldn't be focused too much on lifting max heavy, soooo....

huh? what the fuk am i doing here then????

[bigdavevegas]

lifting heavy

[awms]

Looks for sure! lifting heavy is fun but looking good gets you laid, gets you a larger pay check on avg, make you more popular, and make life easier overall!

Let put a twist on things here: whats more important being attractive to women and getting laid or a 700lb dead lift?

If you said 700lb dead lift either your either your gay or stupid haha joking but common!

[ghettoboyd]

at nearly 40yrs old and many injurys later i find that looking good is far better than trying to stroke my ego with monster lifts...kudos to those that are into powerlifting if thats your thing, but as a bodybuilder i find for me anyways thats its not about the weight but actually feeling the muscles work buy focusing on the mind muscle connection and utilizing more volume, thats what keeps me progressing...that being said the working weights i do youse are of a respectable level imho...

whats that got to do with anything, oh let me guess you're the type that shaves his legs etc, bigger beauty routine than his woman?

and for your info i didnt ask anything, i was told and its to do with every woman's instinct in choosing a partner, 'protection and security' (brown girl, kawi etc please feel free to chime in). unlike ppl like yourself i dont hug a reflection of myself every 5mins or need reassurance that im a 'pretty boy' lol.

oh, and i bounced there, i didnt go out with one. try reading before you bring up old hostilities and have a swipe you moron
