Yeah, but he's still skinny. As my workout partner says, "If you're going to be as pale as a ghost, at least have muscles to go with it." :)

Besides, I like being chocolatey brown. :)

Hey Skip-How big is your waist? It seems freakishly small in a good way. I'm guessing it's only 27 inches or so from the photos.

anyone know who this is?

No I don't know who that is, but I want to look like him with a bigger chest and bigger arms.

Mark Wahlburg was a physique role model for me too. I actually bought his fitness video ages ago. Aside from all the "fly honeys" he was training with in the first part of the video, he had good weight training and nutritional information in there too. :)

Here's another offering for "the perfect physique". :)

I'd say posting your own photo in a perfect body gallery runs a close second. You crack me up. Do you really do your laundry shirtless? Where? ;)

$3.14 US
$8.25 Canada

I feel like I'm getting ripped off.

Yah, I have a similar body type to that guy in the picture, except my torso isn't so straight looking. V-shape is a good shape.

Well, since I'm shirtless all the time at home, I do laundry at home shirtless. :) When I lived in an apartment (back when I didn't have my own washer/dryer), I would often take my laundry to the laundromat and do it there shirtless. The only time I would wear a shirt was if it was cold or raining outside. Keep in mind, I live in FL and particularly during the summer, it's in the 70s-80's at night and in the 80's-90's during the day. Prime shirtless weather. :) The great thing was is that I would get occassional compliments and smiles from my neighbors. That alone will make you narcissistic. :)

Oh, and the prices on my magazine... hehehe... $3.14 is pi, and the $8.25 is my birthday (http://www.skippypodar.net/Podar/825.html) (August 25th).

here in my city in ontario, you cant really go in any places shirtless.
sure on the streets whatever, but second u wanna go in a store or anything u better put on a shirt.

That's understandable. Most places here have a "No shirt, No shoes, No service", policy as well. I always take an "emergency shirt" with me when I travel. :)

Here is Mr. Olympia, Ron Coleman, letting his abs relax. He sure knows how to flex, when he wins. :D

No clue, but his body would be perfect if he had bigger lats. I think lats are one of the sexiest muscles on a guy.

anyone know who this is?

that is a huge roider gut if i ever saw one.

His spleen must be the size of a canned ham. :lol:

is it really steroids that can do that to you. hes completely ripped but that stomach bulges out. how is that possible?

btw...no way in hell would i want to share a gym with him. especially if he works out dressed like that. imagine watching him do squats. even worse having to sit on a machine he was just sitting on.

i thought it was because he doesnt work the TA muscles, so its not held in... :confused:

His TA muscles are pretty well developed for him to do deadlifts with 700+ pounds with perfect technique, so I don't think that's why his gut is hanging out.

The newer drugs these guys take (including growth hormones) cause the internal organs to grow to double or triple their normal size :d_eek: , and most of the giants who compete these days have the problem of huge bellies.

And he doesn't normally work out in a posing suit-I believe he is pumping up pre-contest. You can see that he's at the Mandalay Bay and I believe that's where they held the Mr. O this year.

actually.. that pic makes me sick to my stomack.. can't explain why, it just discusts me.

One of the high-def channels carried Mr. Olympia 2004; we watched it last weekend. I have nothing nice to say about Ronnie Coleman, his physique, or his ability to articulate himself. I'll refrain from commenting beyond saying that he is an abomination of the human form that perpetuates the less desirable bodybuilding stereotypes. I find his physique to be unworthy of the accolades he receives - while he may look impressive in the two-dimensional world of magazines, he looks ludicrous when seen in the more three-dimensional realm of a television.

-R

its worse than being fat... :d_eek:

How do you make your back look like both of the following pics. That is just insane. It literally looks like a balloon being inflated and deflated. Craziness.

That is pretty amazing...pretty disgusting too...what's up with his butt?... It's triangular...Anyway, not sure why anyone would want to look like that, but gotta admire the effort it took to get there.

Wow... talk about overkill. I view that degree of muscular development as obsessive, like in the way of many body image disorders (dysmorphic disorder, anorexia, bulimia, etc). I doubt that much muscle is healthy :d_eek:

GROSS!!!! Oh that picture makes me sick. He looks so fake.. like he was blown up with an air pump. GAG

Yeah, not even close to being the perfect body. :d_frown:

And it's true what nico said about certain steroids. you're internal organs grow, as well. remember, your heart has muscle tissue, as well as your stomach, your intestines, and so forth. they MOVE, remember? :)

growth hororomone


this may or may not be true but it seems like many of you think taking steroids will automaticly make you ronnie coleman

even on steroids he works harder everyone else

hell, half the models on abercrombie bags juice

just cuz you do steroids wont make you big, it still takes work. On the average 12 week cycle you can expect to put on at most 15lbs of extra muscle ifyour a beginner. For somebody like big ron hed be lucky to cycle year round and put on 15lbs

Wait until you see him in real life one day. I saw him over at Dr. Phillips High School when he was guest posing. Honestly it's rather mindblowing to see him in person, you almost start to think he cannot be human.

Actually though, to be honest he was very nice. Stayed late to sign autographs, and was very polite and nice to everybody.

Here's some pictures I took.

While I certainly understand that peoples' tastes differ, it's beyond me how pictures of Mr Coleman ended up in a "perfect body gallery". Is there a single person on this forum who would choose to look like that if a magic genie appeared and offered to transform you with a wave of his hand?

Not to take anything away from him for the effort it took to get there. He had to have an incredible amount of determination and go through a lot of suffering. I guess to him it's worthwhile. More power to him.

Please don't mistake my posting those back shots as, "man I really wish my back could inflate to twice its size and then suck it back in again."

I posted them in reference to the other peculiar shot rtestes showed. His body can look quite unusual and gross. At least in the pics shown by 1fastGTX he looks a bit normal. When some bodybuilders break into a pose and the skin is so tight and thin with veins popping everywhere...uck. can't figure that out.

I don't think anyone's saying that by using juice or growth hormones you'll automatically be a great bodybuilder. I think most of the focus has been on the huge bellies of the current top pro's.

In his defense, there would be no way for him to compete without using those drugs. I remember when I first started working out back in about 1994 there was this great natural bodybuilder who was a cop named...Ronnie Coleman. He looked massive to me and at 250 pounds was the best natural guy out there, but he couldn't stand next to the likes of Haney and later Dorian Yates. Now he's 296 for the Mr. O contest and probably weighs 350 in the off season.

Of the top 50 pro bodybuilders who aren't specifically competing in the 'natural' contests, I would bet that every single one is heavily juiced and using some kind of nasty hormone intended for horses or livestock.

Kind of reminds you of the best home run hitters of late:
Barry Bonds
Mark McGuire
Jason Giambi
Sammy Sosa
Jose Canseco

All of them have either admitted it or have been accused of it by other ballplayers. Just look at the size of their heads-there's no exercise that can make your skull grow that I know of.

As for whether people think Coleman's body is their idea of perfection, I believe the hardcore bodybuilders stick to their own forums, of which there are dozens, and johnstonefitness.com isn't really their hangout so maybe only 1% of the members here would want to be huge like R.C.

Just to bring this thread back on topic:

Well it was off season I think too, not anywhere close to Olympia time at least. He was much "fatter" than he is at contest shape, his skin wasn't as tight, etc.

Well it was off season I think too, not anywhere close to Olympia time at least. He was much "fatter" than he is at contest shape, his skin wasn't as tight, etc.

Good point, it might be "off season" or caught at a bad angle. Something to remember about all the other photos seen in this topic, they may be "on season". All the actors, bodybuilders, and models shown here are choosen to look good. In some cases, that perfect look is the results of photo magic, makeup, and unhealthy practises and the look might have only existed for a few weeks or months in their life.

Movie stills and bodybuilder/model photos are choosen from many to get only the best ones to go into magazines or websites. Remember most of the people shown here got picked to be expoited by others because they were unique, 1 in a 1000 then they were airbushed into glory. And the naive want to know what their workout was, so they can be like them.

The bad shots show up in the Star or Inquirer at the checkout stand. There you can see the cellulite and flab on all the hot chicks and bellies on the guys. Mr. Olympia looks bad, sometimes. Toby McGuire doesn't always look like the 30 sec shot in a movie.

So When the makeup and lighting are gone, the perfect body might turn to fat. Keep this in mind as you pick your model goals. :D

what's up with his butt?... It's triangular

That's what the glutes look like when they're not covered with layers of fat.

I will definitely agree with the steriods that Ronnie takes. The size of his gut as well as the size of most professional bodybuilders is also attributed to the amount of food that they have to consume.

The one difference with Ronnie are his workouts. If you ever get a chance, check out "The Unbelieveable". Gives me some motivation when I hit the gym and go heavy. Ronnie could easily transition into a power lifter or "Worlds Strongest Man" competitor.

I think Shane Mosley has one of the best bodies out there. Nice size and definition. I'm working towards being comparable to him. I have a looong way to go though. :db: :bb: If the picture doesn't load check out this link~~~~~~~> http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/chat/deportes/chatDep?event_id=3968

Bob Paris and Francis Benfatto are a couple of bodybuilders from the 80's that I think had very nice lines and proportions. These guys are more about definitions than the sheer mass and 45 inch guts.

Bob Paris has great size and symmetry. I had his bodybuilding book when I was 18 or 19.

Interesting fact is that he's gay. Can you imagine how many women would want him and can't have him? LOL.

I remember that book from way back in the day when I first started working out-it's when I first realized that a good portion of bodybuilders at Gold's gym in San Diego where I was working out were gay.

NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT (seinfeld reference)

It certainly contradicts people's general impression that gay dudes are effeminate and weak. These guys were massive and lifted huge weight!

Living in S.F. there seem to be a lot of gay bodybuilders and there's a huge MaxMuscle store in the corner of Market and Castro that's basically the gay capital of the world. They even showed it in the background on a Simpson's episode where Smithers was walking around in spandex and a tank top while a cable car goes by with the rainbow flag and he gets 'outed'.

Anyway yeah Bob Paris had what I consider the ideal physique for a bodybuilder-not a total freak, just fairly big, very cut and extremely symmetrical.

She has a very similar body type to mine, and I can't wait until the day that my legs look like that. I'm immune to the common female desire to never strength train their legs (and subsequently look like asses on stilts.). I want to be solidly built from glutes to calves. Even by pulling aside the loose fat that just seems to drape across my muscles now, I can tell that the muscles to create those legs already exist. All that's really left is to break down that fat.

Which Walmart do you go to..I don't even see guys like Brad Pitt in Snatch at my college. :(

I'll have to agree with Abdominator. He is MUCH closer to perfection than Jennifer Ellison. :tu: She looks like someone stuffed coconuts down her bikini top. Frightening!

I don't think it is fair to compare the two since the perfect body on a woman is far from that of a man. IMO women should not be all cut up, but soft and sensual. Whereas a guy should be more muscular. Of course, this is my opinion, but I think most guys actually like curvy women that are toned, but not overly muscular. Having said that, beauty comes in many forms and different people can pull off different body compositions.

I don't mind toned or soft, just niether in the extreme!

... but I think most guys actually like curvy women that are toned, but not overly muscular.

If I had to cite an example of feminine perfection, it'd be Minna Lessig (http://www.minnalessig.com/photos/img0050.jpg). Tight, toned and muscular is just as feminine as "soft and sensual". Of course, as you say, it's opinion... and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'll take a lean woman to a soft one any day and twice on Sunday.

Just curious, how'd you do the Clones image? It's pretty high quality.

This is my idea of the perfect physique. Not too big, not too small. Pleasing to the eye, as opposed to the bloated mass monsters that rule bodybuilding today.
His name is Mike Mentzer (in case someone didnt know already). He was a bodybuilder in the 70s and 80s. Id kill to look like him.

Mike had perfect genes-you can see he's got nothing but muscle on his arms from the knuckle to the shoulder.

Very true. His arms are awesome.

i take it no one noticed his head?

Tom Sansone Mr. America 1958. I liked his definition.

Whats wrong with his head? you mean his hair? If thats what you mean, then yeah, it was the 70s and I guess that look was cool at the time. LoL.

Just curious, how'd you do the Clones image? It's pretty high quality.

you just set a camera on a timer, on a fixed spot. Take multiple shots, each time you move somewhere else (but camera stays where it is), and then you just photoshop the other yous into a single image.

Not bad at all. Pretty good lines and very aesthetically pleasing. I like the look of classic bodybuilders.

The Cellmass guy.

Anyone know who he is?

Anyone guess his weight?

Ryan Reynolds in Amityville Horror. A little less muscle mass and a little higher BF% than he was in Blade 3.

you sure about that?

I was insufficiently impressed by the "attack of the clones" because the perspective looks off to me. But, oh my, I'm in tears at the hilarity of The Multiplicity of Skip, James, Jim, Jimbo, Skippy, and Michael. Narcissism R' Us is my favorite, of course. I might just try to clone myself. Looks like fun.

i wouldnt mind looking like this http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/mgm/the_amityville_horror/ryan_reynolds/amityville4.jpg

Thanks! Nah... that was me the day of my most recent bodybuilding competition (June 2004). I weighed 165 lbs. that day. I can't wait to see how I'll look when I cut for my contests in 2007. I'll be HUGE!!!

The $20m bod of a certain Mr Pitt

weak. apparently the movie producers have never seen Skip before - much better than brad pitt's body.

weak. apparently the movie producers have never seen Skip before - much better than brad pitt's body.

i DONT think so!

Hmm. I wonder if Brad's chest hair is airbrushed on.... :lol:

Just kidding - I do think he has a good physique in Fight Club and Troy. I read an interview where he talks about the grueling training he put in for Troy. Sounds like he's a hard gainer - certainly an ectomorph. Blessed with low bodyfat but cursed by the very same metabolism. Poor guy...

I just saw Troy yesterday myself. Anyway, I always thought Brad Pitt's "smaller" body was still impressive, but if anyone is going to insult his physique in Troy, unless you're a bodybuilder, it must be out of pure jealousy. Dude was jacked up and ripped as hell. No, he wasn't Arnold, but who wants to be?

i DONT think so!

Hehehe... depends on what you're looking for. My fiancee will take my body over Brad Pitt's any day. :)

http://www.skippypodar.net/WebGallery/Gnvl2003-PatLee-SkipWeb/images/0311C-027.jpg

- Skip :)

If Brad Pitt had an ugly face, then all the talk about his physique would mean nothing. However, considering he is called the prettiest man alive by some of my girl friends, I doubt his most attractive feature is his body. Although of course thats adds to the whole aesthetic package.

There are people with far better physiques than Brad, but if I looked entirely like Brad Pitt, including facial features, I certainly would not be complaining.

Some girls like guys with the bodybuilder physique, while some don't. I think it changes with the times-in the seventies I heard (I was barely alive) that skinny was the look for dudes. The bell bottoms look better on you with stick legs. I would guess that two thirds of young girls would rather look at a Brad Pitt body, or a 'men's health' body, than a bodybuilder body. But the ones that like the bodybuilder body may appreciate that body more than the other girls appreciate the Brad Pitt body. if that makes any sense. It comes down to personal preference.

Well that's 1 for you and 30 million for Brad (;

Just thought I would add my 2 pennies worth. The body shape I'm going for is the same as Edward Norton in American History X (but without the Swastika tattoos!). Very toned and solid and looking very fit. I just don't have a pic I can put on here. What do you all think?

Ed Norton looked huge in that movie. I became a big fan of his after seeing that-he worked damn hard to get that way because according to him he's a real hard gainer.

Yeah, and he pretty much lost all the bulk immediately after he finished the role. I wonder if hardgainers have a more difficult time holding on to the muscle (once they get it) than do mesomorphs.

Haha no funcky bunch but the first half was a home work out with him and some girls and the second was a gym work out with his cousin i think.

Wow, I just looked at Norton from American History X, and I for some reason thought he was alot bigger. I guess that was just the big pipe hitters he roled with in Prision.


His body in those pictures looks to be like one of the more attainable bodies that people post here in the perfect body gallery thread....

I must say I'm surprised. I never thought Ed Norton would get so big - he's so diminutive. Not that he was huge or anything, but he was definately more manly than his normal self. He looked good. Healthy and strong. I really like his acting. Fight Club was brilliant. I'm putting American History X in my Netflix queue today.

The same thing happened to Keanu Reeves. Remember Speed? He was pretty filled out, then he immediately snapped back to scrawny. Even in Johnny Mnemonic he was a little beefier than his Matrix physique.

just watched basic last night, although he is wearing a shirt the whole time John Travolta looks pretty damn pumped in it!!!

Haha no funcky bunch but the first half was a home work out with him and some girls and the second was a gym work out with his cousin i think.

Yup... and he had a nutritionist at the end of the video who gave very good advice which I still follow to this day. So although I felt a little wierded out when I first bought the video, I'm glad I did because I learned a lot about weight training. Plus, the girls at the beginning of the video were fun to look at too. :)

hah... yea, im shooting for that too - except id like to be a LITTLE fatter. 6% seems like dangerous living.

size-wise - i think that'd be ideal for me.

I'm a big fan of the lean, wiry look as well--athletic, yet you still look good in a suit.

Who is that in the picture anyway?

Looks like the guy from Charlies Angels: Full Throttle. Drew Barrymores Ex. Correct me if im wrong.

You're correct. His name is Justin Theroux:

http://imdb.com/name/nm0857620/photogallery-ss-0

Funny that, for perfect bodies we see lots of movie stars.

I find it natural to look first at the coaches/health and fitness writers/bodybuilders.

I like Frank Zane because he has mass yet the first thing that strikes you is symmetry and balance. Incredible (as shown in a previous post page 33).

For abs definition (and also muscle mass with great proportions), I would look no further than Tom Venuto:

http://www.fitren.com/resuimg.cfm?compid=18&imgid=11

And finally, with a lot of definition and a rather slim shape, Christian Finn (scroll down until you see two pictures side by side, in the picture on the left he looks awesome):
http://www.christianfinn.com/

Need I say, I'm not there yet! :d_biggrin

Vincent.

Owen McKibbin (http://images.google.com/images?q=owen%20mckibbin&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&sa=N&tab=wi)

I would have to agree with you Jeff. Owen has a pretty good physique, and one of which is my end goal.

McKibben is a good "model" to follow for a lot of reasons...He's currently 42 and he's had lots of physical struggles that his genetics handed him--bad knees & back. Obviously his genetics handed him some good things too. He's overcome the bad things and built on the good things. He talks a lot about decision points in his life that moved him to achieve. He sounds a lot like Jeremy Likness when he talks about his "decisions."

This guy was ripped for Blade:Trinity as well.

That's totally what I'm shooting for too! It's very hard for me to put on size.

I would guess that two thirds of young girls would rather look at a Brad Pitt body, or a 'men's health' body, than a bodybuilder body.

I think 1/3 of young girls liking bodybuilder bodies is generous. I haven't met a single girl that prefers it and I've asked a lot. Though I have found that some girls confuse having muscle with being fat. Especially with clothed men. I'd point out a muscular guy and they'd go " eww, he's too fat"

The thing about the 'men's health' body is it appeals to the majority of both men and women. Not only aesthetically but also on the health side. Unfortunately bodybuilders are still regarded as unhealthy and unnatural so you'd never see a bodybuilder on the catwalk or advising CK blah.. because companies need to appeal to the largest market.

Tbh, i like Brad cos of his body proportion. With the bespoke tailoring in Ocean's 11 - 12 His body looks good even though you never see it. The clothes just hang perfectly from his trained shoulders and traps.

Anyway, I saw Sahara the other day. And that's how I want to look. I think Matt McConaughey in it looks bigger than BP in fight club and troy. Thankfully he doesn't look stupidly bloated like he did in "Reign of Fire" anymore.

Yup, Mark Wahlberg was an inspiration to me when I first started working out. He has/had a well balanced physique. I still have his workout video on my shelf back home. :)

i dunno. you're right. i guess i'm so used to being fat that i always wanted to be 'skinny' and look 'thin'. you know what i mean? i guess now that i am thin, i see where you're coming from. i hate how i look in a polo BECAUSE of the lack of muscles.

probably in a year or so, i'll have a whole different outlook on it.

oh, and if you happen to be reading these forums and are under the age of 2, here's some motivation for ya. he needs a little work on his sholders, but his chest looks pretty defined. cute kid.

I don't want to look huge in a shirt because it can ruin the lines, and in my opinion makes you look a bit clumsy or brands you with that certain beefcake image. Same with suits.
However in a t-shirt, I want to look built as possible.

I'll agree with you on the suit part... if a guy has a huge, muscular chest, he will look like he's wearing a box when he has on a nice suit.

Hahaha :lol: You are hillarious! I can understand what you mean. If you are fat, you want to be smaller so you blend in with the rest of the public. I do agree though if you have been working real hard to gain muscle, and have it you should be able to wear clothes that compliment your physique.

Haha no funcky bunch but the first half was a home work out with him and some girls and the second was a gym work out with his cousin i think.

You 'n me both. Ectomorphic physique kinda suck to be stuck with.

i tend to have the ectomorphic look, but i have the endomorphic metabolism. worst possible case.

wont stop me tho!

that pic of Arnold would make a tight ad for Lacoste today.

Maybe I can send them that pic and ask for a discount on their clothes, becasue I don't want to go broke because of buying a polo.

i tend to have the ectomorphic look, but i have the endomorphic metabolism. worst possible case.

I'm right about there with you. If I don't exercise and watch what I eat, I don't carry the ectomorphic metabolism... just the framework. Metabolically speaking, I'm more meso/endo.

And it's not like I ask for all that much. I don't want to have to shop at big 'n tall because I'm muscular. This is about as far as I'll ever go...

http://www.sportfit.com/images/smallpic.jpg

-R

Same for me. I naturally have wide shoudlers and large lats, so I look big, even though my waist is small. It sucks having to buy large shirts to fit my upper body, and then have a ton of loose fabric around my waist.

Here are some pics to show you what I mean. The shirt is a medium, its tight around the shoulders and in the arms, but loose around the waist. SOme shirtless pics to show ya'll what im working with

Go ahead and guess my BF% too if you like :D. I'm 6' and weighed in at 175.8 today

I think these guys have perfect bodies :tu: you may not be able to see definition, but we all know that they have perfect bodies, they wouldnt be in that pic if they didnt.

i wonder if they took the 2005 shot during the day?

they cant reveal their identity if they are still active duty, thats why the pic is the way it is. Much props to the seals, Im more impressed by their mental strenght than their physique.

What's I think is cool is that they're pretty small, scrappy guys (i.e., probably haven't concerned themselves with a bulking cycle) but we all know they're some of the baddest mofos on the planet. I know I'd sacrifice being totally huge in order to be a SEAL.

I live in australia, and next year going into the army, Im trying out for Specialops within 2 years of joining, we dont have seals, but we have 4RAR, 4th Royal Australian Regiment, they are just like the US Navy Seals and even train together with them and Delta Force and other special forces all over the world, so 4RAR or as we call them here Commandos are just like Navy Seals but are Aussie :D

Here is a couple pics of them.

Okay, maybe somebody has posted this one up already--wasn't about to scroll through 16+ pages!

How about Dominic Purcell from Blade Trinity?

Could not find a decent pic of him showing his build. Ryan Reynolds is pretty ripped in that flick, but Dominic has got not as toned of a build, but much closer to what I prefer as my personal goal.

Anyone have a decent pic of the guy?

Or how about Hilary Swank's body in Million Dollar Baby? Good definition here. Hope this picture is large enough to view.

This guy - Scott Helvenston has a body similar to what im aiming for in the longer term. No giant but as an ex navy seal he sure was athletic and extremely physically fit. Its a tragedy that he was one of the four Americans who were killed and then abused after death in an ambush by Iraqi terrorists in Fallujah, Iraq.

i just tried searching "perfect body" with google-image search. it's not worksafe, yet it gets through as ok material in workplaces because the thumbnails are provided by google. good times.

here's Layne Norton's Tri:

Some of the most gorgeous bodies I've seen (no santa clauses this time :D )

I'll post a link to them because they contain nudity.

hmm... Picture 4 is a bit disturbing. there's just no need for that monkey.

monkey? its a cat. :lol:

That's hilarious - I thought it was a monkey too. :o

ohhh ok... i had to look at it harder.

it was something with the nose of the animal, plus the curl of the tail - looking at it quickly all i could think is "monkey"

i really need to date a girl with a body like that. so firm..

The Cellmass guy.

Anyone know who he is?

Anyone guess his weight?

He remind me of Danny Padilla :confused:

Layne does have an amazing physique, and he's quite the resource as well. I've read many of his postings and articles on diets/training on various boards, and he’s always very informative and helpful. I modeled my latest cut off of his contest prep diet.

Plus, the man has crazy intensity! I’ve watched a few of his videos and they always remind me of how important intensity is.

Do I see a bloody shin in the picture above? If that's from deadlifting then hell yeah! That's hardcore!!!

Yup... he scraped his shins doing deadlifts, and here's the video to prove it. :)

Oh MY!

Never mind. I don't think I'll be moving from the computer for a while.

Only the third guy looks hungry.

But I WILL volunteer to cook for them, if you insist.

I think these guys have perfect bodies :tu: you may not be able to see definition, but we all know that they have perfect bodies, they wouldnt be in that pic if they didnt.

HOLY COW!!!!! :d_eek:

now now andi, wipe that drool of the keyboard :)

WOW, I hope that if I make it into SOCOM that chicks will drool over me, well, a guys aloud to dream aint he? heheh :o :tu:

But yeah, they are bad@ss!!! ever single day I push myself to get closer and closer to their physical toughness :D

i haven't looked through the last 38 pages, so i'm guessing i'm not the only one here.. but this is what i want to achieve in the next 7-8 years or so:

and another...

BTW, even today i think Arnold in his prime would beat Coleman; there's just no contest. More mass isn't always the best thing.

zane really makes me wanna go hit the gym too. i'm getting more and more pumped to get to the gym the more look at these pictures. too bad i'm taking this week off from lifting!

http://www.bengal.missouri.edu/~mlmbr3/zane_frank_17.jpg

are you planning on taking steroids? cause I believe arnold was juicin..

Adam

nope, just whey and creatine and a some anti-oxidants. i havent' really used creatine too much, it's too expensive for me; but i scored like 2 lbs of creatine monohydrate at GNC during a sale for 30 bucks so that'll last me a while and i'll see if i like it. other than that, i'm hoping i can keep gaining at least 10 pounds of muscle a year. so i think 8 years or so is a reasonable estimate.

I'm not saying this to denigrate you or anything, but that's highly unlikely.

i've gotten around 10 lbs so far in about a year, hopefully it keeps up. we'll see. i doubt my enthusiam will decrease anytime soon though so any non-gains won't be for lack of exercise. i think my worst enemy at the moment is overtraining.

of coarse the Arnold physique is the supreme goal, but my goal isn't to be a pro (or compete at all). i'm content to spend 6 days a week and 1.5 hours in the gym each day. when i lift i declare war, and at the end i'm happy to leave when i've completely exhausted whatever muscle group i'm doing that day. In 8 - 10 years time i i'll be perfectly happy to get to 220 lbs with 10-15% BF; then i'll declare victory.

Well, swing for the fences and don't let your eye off the ball. Good luck. :tu:

Gabrielle Reece -- although she is a giantess at 6'3" ;)

Holy shit! I never thought any female bodybuilder could be hot, but Pauline Nordin sure is. Her physique is nearly perfect! Some videos:

Holy shit! I never thought any female bodybuilder could be hot...

That's odd. I don't see why muscle on a male would be ok and not on a female. Ok, I don't mean steroid monsters. But muscle is sexy isn't it???

I like Mari Kudla, serious muscle, serious curves:

She can flex the biceps too:

Fitness models are so hot. :tucool:

Maui Teriyaki?!?!?! Love that place!!! I live right down the street from it :tu: .

Dude is there a walmart near there? or the mall?

I think we live close :jumping:

I'm not sure if Brad Schoenfeld holds the copyright on this photo, but I'm sure it's a pretty good representation of what many women would like to look like. I saw it on a giant billboard advertising for new homes a few miles away. :confused:

I'd rather look like Mari Kudla from the link above, but she looks almost TOO perfect, like maybe she's had a few surgical enhancements....

Yes that girl is cute, but what are these? Dumbbells for hobbits?

Form is more important than weight, but come on... :whistle:

Mari is BEAUTIFUL and while she may look like a fitness model in some pics, she really has the muscles of a bodybuilder as seen in some of her pictures. She also looks natural to me, like it's all just from hard work and good nutrition.

It's like she has just enough muscle to look like a bodybuilder if she flexes, but she can still pass as just a fit woman when she wants the more traditional model look.

Yet, I don't know if all the guys are like me, but when you start to get into putting on muscle, you get to also appreciate it on a female body. I now find the ordinary models or actresses skinny and generally not that great looking.

I think Lenda Murray looks great too. Warning: this link may not be "appropriate" for some as she is wearing... erm... nothing:
http://www.bodybuilders.com/murray6.jpg

Ok in some other pictures she is a little bit more massive than would be ideal imho (just a matter of opinion), but there is no arguing that she has sculpted her body to perfection.

Vincent.

Wow. Mari is gorgeous. That is the perfect female form to me. Lean and muscular while remaining curvy and feminine. :drool: Woof.
