    Yup.
    Happens without even thinking about it...

    Also, "I wonder what his diet's like, he could be a lot bigger" and stuff like that...

    Yep. It's something I'd like to stop doing but I can't help it. Never really even thought about it until now though. Women do it too though. I think it's just a competitive thing.

    of course, this site is dedicated to the pursuit of making our bodies bigger, stronger, better whatever....so our mindset is to be the biggest and baddest everywhere, hence we all are going to size up everyone we see

    My problem is, I size them up in a fighting way. How I would take them down or if I'd wanna stand and trade with them. I'll be doing cardio and some guy will cross my line of vision and then I'll just day dream about fighting him for a good 30 mins or so. Its almost like I black out to everything around me except him. Am I crazy ???

    I used to but once I got to the point where I was bigger then most people I stopped, the only time I notice myself doing it is when I'm at the Arnold or the Olympia expo.

    I'm going with yes, u are crazy...However, I have not figured out a better way to pass the time while doing cardio, so who is REALLY the crazy one?

    No your not crazy....you are psycho. I love the honesty and feel the same way someone walks in front of the mirror when I am in the middle of a set. Iwill start using that method to stay on the treadmill longer. Thanks for the idea

    It's natural and I think everyone, guys and girls, do it even if only on a subconscious level.

    I used to, but i would always take it one step further. If i thought they looked like they could really fight, then i would just go and fight them. I would just walk up to strangers and start hitting them. I ended up getting into shit loads of trouble with the law.

    Anyway i think its a young guy thing, im much older now and couldnt care what others look like. Even though i sometimes miss a good read and write..

    i honestly dont. i have a friend who used to do it all the time when we went out and i hated it. he would constantly ask if i thought someone was bigger then him. i honestly dont do this and cant understand why anyone would. of course if i see someone who is 300+lbs and ripped it catches my attention but im not staring at him sizing him up like some of you. i care about myself and i dont really care how someone else looks. now if you compete then thats a different story and of course your always comparing yourself to others

    I do but not in a size sense..... I dont trust anybody i dont know and always "size people up" i.e read their body language to pre-empt the possibility for any incoming attack. Call me paranoid but i believe in hitting first and hitting hardest.

    Yeah exactly. Size is a small fraction of what people are capable of. When workling the doors i noticed the ones who were the biggest (trained big) were some of the most genuine and nicest guys around.

    I think my suspicion got the better of me and was only recently told by a coach always to rememeber that, there are far more good people in this world than bad...
    but never the less
