HOW BIG DO YOU WANT TO BE

[RESTLESS1]

i have always said i just want to be a liitle biiger or this is my last bulking cycle before i try to cut down.....it never happens....when i graduated in 87 i weighed 127pds....i was too little to even play any type of sports...i tried lifting weights and exercising to no avail....at 20 yrs old i did my first cycle of test cyp@500/wk.....i went from 130,s to mid 150,s and was able to keep most of it....at the end of this cycle i went back to weight gainer shakes and proteins only plus my bcaa,s....still no bigger.....i have now used gear off and on for 21yrs......i weigh around 290-292...i am currently on 2000mg of gear/wk....as of now i have no health problems and continue to have regular physicals and bloodwork....i have finally reached the point to where i may be big enough....for some reason i have huge issues with even losing apound of weight.. this may sound crazy but my size now is affecting my everyday life....not cardio wise....i do my cardio 4-5x wk and do well...i now have problems shaving....washing my hair....sitting in movie theatres and yet still have doubts if i can go through with cutting....i do know if i dropped bf% i would probably look even bigger.....but to be honest i like to be 5-9...290+lbs...16%bf....i like the looks i get...i like the fact when people walk up to me they notice my size....i like being jacked up....is anyone else like this

Yes, but you said it yourself, you will look bigger if you cut down and may get even more looks than now. Vascularity and defined cuts of meat will get more attention than a big soft dude.

It's kind of a funny question when you think about it. even some of the smallest people on this board are well above the rest of the population in terms of development and muscle per inch of height. they dont notice it but the rest of the world does. and like myself im sure plenty of people here feel inadequate in terms of size and strength. this little mental issue(lol) is what drives most of us to achieve what other people see as wierd, unnecessary, and freaksih. now i thought about this alot during my forced layoff. the "am i big enough?" came up quite a bit. granted you have 1 inch and 90 lbs on me but i cant assume i would be happy at your weight. i would probably want to be even bigger. unfortunately for me i dont believe the genetic lottery dealt me that hand. even knowing i probably wont ever be a 300lb freak something inside makes me have to try. so i guess for me big enough will always be 5 lbs away.

I may only be 180lbs right now at 5'6, but hey I feel pretty good about where I am at..I am some what of a conservative in certain areas, so slowly, but surely I know I can gain more muscle with time. Do I want to be bigger? Yes, but I will take my time and make it a quality gain, and accept my limits...which I know I have not reached yet - I always think progressive on all aspects of growing more muscle, just at a different pace for me and I will not do it at all costs.

Quality first, then quantity...I do not flip flop that idea, that is just my thoughts.

i last competed at 205lbs and i could of still lost a few more lbs to be really ripped....

i'm 5ft 9 so the average height it seems for a bodybuilder

how big do i want to be? hmmmm, every day i just daydream about being BIGGER.

i'd love to compete at 250lbs lean on stage

 

[HOTROCKS]

I want to be big enought to be.........

Faster than a speeding bullet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Yep ! That Big !

Same here. Every time I reach one goal, I am never satisfied. I remember when I though being over 200 lbs. would be satisfying. I'm now 225 and 12% bf and now want to be 235 at 8-10%. Never satisfied. I too have the problem where I hate to lose even a pound, so cutting is always difficult psychologically.

 

[Gunsmith]

I'm 6'2" and about 270-ish right now , good vascularity and lower abs are comming in.
I'm as big as I want to be , hell i'd be happy to drop a bit more wight and stay leaner but not any more muscle , I don't like clothes that fit tight and its hard to find everyday clothing that fits well. I also don't care to be looked at like some sort of circus attraction

 

[Bolan]

I think my days of competeing are done I think.....


So...Id like to be holy shit huge.. Who cares about the 6 pack GQ model look.

 

[mature muscle]

I think for most big enough will always be just a little more. but i,m more concerned with the mirror then the scale. you have to look good on the beach or whats the point.and I think you answered your own ? if your having problems with lifes daily activities your big enough.

 

[SmallTownIron]

I would like to get to 190-200 and I would be very happy while holding 8% bf or so.

This is EXACTLY how i feel too. Always was the skinny dude. Its so hard to cut cause you don't wanna lose a single pound. BUT.... I was stuck at 205, just over 200 trying to gain more and more and never could.. Finally said F*#@ it and cut down for awhile and then bulked and put HUGE gains on. Reached 225 in a very short time and it was because of the cutting.

I was 160 in Feb of 06'... Arms were 13 and 3/4".
Now Im 230 and arms are 18 and 1/2".

 

[knucklehed]

good topic

I remeber 15years ago weighing myself everyday trying to break 200lbs. I eventually made 240 at about 12%, I am 5'9". I didn't realize it at the time, but I felt like crap. My blood pressure was high, my hemo was high and my cardio fitness sucked.
Now at 43, I've dropped to 215 and pretty lean, under 10% and as strong or stronger then I was at 240. Next year I'd like to be maintaining 205 @6-7% and maybe in 2 years be 200 @ under 6%.
My cardio condition is absolutely kick-ass, my blood pressure is typically 125/75 ,resting pulse under 60. And most importantly I feel great!

 

[buselmo]

i'd like to be big enough to have a large size t-shirt fit 'snug' on me while being 10% fat...
damn midget status

 

[renewlyf]

All I want to do is gain 10 more lbs!

Been saying that since I was 150lbs. 215 now 12% 5' 9". Sometimes when I look in the mirror I still see that skinny kid. My girlfriend says I'm crazy. She tells me that she refrains from telling me how good I look because she doesn't wnat me to get a big head

 

[nspaletta]

i believe almost everybody on this board...including myself want to be bigger no matter how big we are. i started this ongoing process my freshman year of college, i was 170 at 6 ft and hated it. i said i wanted to be 200 lbs 10-15%bf...year and a half later done. next 225, one year later done. im now 235 lbs about 15% bf and still wanna be bigger. i do wanna lose some bf because i know the definition will make me look bigger than i am but it kinda sucks to see the digits drop.

 

[RESTLESS1]

i remember the day like it was yesterday that i finally made it to 185....i thought i had finally arrived.....it was such a short lived achievment though b/c now i wanted 200....i have guys at my gym who compete and theyre always after me to give it a try....its not that i dont think i could probably be decent at it its the thought of getting up there in those trunks that bothers me.....on the other hand i do what i do for me not for the benefit or enjoyment of others.....i love the feel of pushing my body to its limit....i love this sport....i know part of what drives me today is seeing some of you guys post pics no matter what size you are and it keeps me going and lets me know theres always room for improvement....be safe

 

[debo0211]

im already 300 22 inch arms, I just need to get that 8 pack going, and all will be happy in my life

 

[napaulm]

im 210 at 5'11' around 8-10% bodyfat. my goal is 230. was 217 but got sick, had other issues. for me it's body issues. gotta be big! never feel like i can be big enuff. self-esteem and bigness are bitch!

 

[robot]

At 5' 9", I'd like to be about 230-250 @ 8-10%. (I think). I'm about 200 in this range now and I think another 30 pounds of meat would look good. I'm not quite as sure whether 50 would look good or not but I probably won't get there to find out
