There have been a lot of posts lately stating how people are sick of hearing about the "men's health" style body...well that is what I see when I look at your pics and I think you look great and I defy anyone on here to say different..I'm pretty similar to your physique right now...just a little more fat in the lower abs and not quite as full in the chest (I'm 6'1 202)...seeing your pics gives me motivation to acheive the look I'm going for...big props to you buddy you look great ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Yup...Well said. Everyone has thier own opinion of the "perfect physique" but a great physique is a great physique. Be it truely massive or well muscled but lean and proportioned they are still two physiques though looking quite different are still great physiques. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Thanks. Everyone has there personal opinions. I think you can be as BIG AS YOU WANT. I like any body that is proportionate no matter the SIZE. PROPORTION IS #1 (SPELLED IT WRONG PROBABLY.) FROM ARNOLD, TO SHAWN RAY, TO SOME MODELS IN MEN'S HEALTH---->THEY ALL HAVE THE BODY I ADMIRE. Some people like that massive look where if you are just plain BIG , U LOOK GOOD. IT ALL DEPENDS ON ONES PERSONALITY. My pesonality just doesn't fit the overly huge look. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I am going for the model look also.... i think it is just a much better look. But again that is just my opinion. G-Man ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

While we are on the topic....why the hell doesn't shawn ray ever win the competion. I don't wanna hear "because he's too small!" He has the best body out there and one of these years they should give it too him. He also is the only one that seems to have a brain also. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

i agree with you J but it all comes down to your individual goals. i would say that if you are over about 12-15% bf you are just fat in the public eyes no matter how big you are, but some people don't care because they lift exclusively for themselves. we all know women like the ripped look, but again, some don't lift with getting women as their primary objective. personally, i just lose alot of confidence and feel like a fat fuck when i am not lean. even in the middle of my bulking phase i was constantly thinking of being lean and it drove me nuts. either way, i wouldn't bash anyone who follows through with their goals. takes alot of dedication to build either physique, freaky or model. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I think Shawn Ray has by far the best physique of any top level bodybuilder and I honestly beleive he has the best overall physique of anyone(model/bodybuilder). In my eyes that is the ideal look. Unfortunately in this day of mass monsters who are out of proportion he is considered to small though he is balanced and shredded. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I just wanted to say I never said I was tired of hearing about Men's Health body types. What each of us want to look like is our own business. Italian Sweetness has obviously put alot of hard work into his physique. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
