Most people spend their time trying to build a body that looks strong and bad as hell

I spend my time building a body that actually is

Everone has different goals. . . . therefore I respect powerlifters, bodybuilders, strength athletes, and etc.

The fact of the matter is that we are all striving for improvements, which requires guts and motivation.

I need to be strong I began as a bodybuilder working out of magazines, evolved to a sports specific athlete, and now into a strength junkie. I want to be as strong as possible and I train for strength. not my fault I'm still ripped lol

It wasn't my intention to knock BB's. I realized it may have sounded like that. Should have written it differently.

Well everyone's definition of "chubby" is different. I guess it depends on where you're coming from. To a male BBer, 10 or 12% could be considered "chubby". And to a PLer thats considerd very lean. I'm definitely no BBer or a Pler, but i look muscular and strong for a female when in actuality, wow am i weak as hell
p.s. why cant Bbers and Plers get along? LOL I admire both for their determination and discipline

I consider myself a strength athlete. I'm training for strongman, but I incorporate power lifting and O-lifting into my regular training program.

I desire to be functionally strong with explosive power as a nice side. As well as highly conditioned.
