Universal Nutrition Forum

Simple thread askin i think the defining question:

''Do you wanna be that huge bloke with a 17 or 18+ inch arm wearing an x, xx or xxxl top about to burst accross his back?''
(i did say big guy not fat guy so say no abs maybe 12-16% bf)(maybe 18% if he's freaky huge)

or

''Do you wanna be the shredded guy with a full set of dry abs who looks made of steel with shirt off?''
(shredded yes but big not really..... looks average in a medium)

Everyone post a reply, interestin to see wha people think.

I'd be big guy, thats how i enjoy to train and to eat. Also i like being the big guy in a room. Couldn really give a shit about being very lean.

So lads wha ya wreckin??

Up until recently I wanted to be the big guy and like you I enjoyed being the big guy in the room! However I recently started cutting and while I'm starting to look like a more normal build in a t-shirt when I have my top off I look much better.

I guess my new goal, and it will take a lot longer to achieve, is to be the big ripped guy!

My goal would be the big guy. With the weather we get over here how often do you get to take your t-shirt off unless you,ve scored some hottie and she hits the floor when you take your top off lol.

thats a good question man.. well me im only starting out on this road am currently 14st 6 and 5ft 9. with a decent enough frame so my goal is to bring my weight up to 15st 6 and im sure i will look big enough at that weight and then become the ripped guy

good question but an easy answer for me. definitely the shredded guy. i used to be fat so i would never wanna go back 2 it(even with a shitload more muscle). iv never been in2 the freaky big size, id well rather be aesthetic looking with very low bf. plus i look absolutely shite at over 10% bf so i prob still would look shit with an extra 80lbs at 16%. 2 try 2 get freaky big id have 2 hit the sauce which i would never touch plus the size i wanna get 2 i wouldnt need it either

Don't get me wrong man not in a million years would i juice!! But i suppose genetic make up is involved in this. I gain well and cut up badly..... my body and mind love to grow and i hate shrinking.

i like being cut and a nice size, but its very hard to find the perfect balance

here is a pic i took the other night, any one like to guess my weight? i know i could do with a spray tan lol

210lbs? ya bastard ya look great. looks like ur waist is smaller + lats and shoulders have grown ridiculously. fairplay ya deserve it anyway!!!

210lbs? im only some thing like 188lbs at the moment, the fats is flying off on my mini cut, but thats my point in clothes i dont look big at all, just look like a regular guy! its very hard to be super lean and look big in clothes

188?? fuck i was way off lol. is that depleted weight? abs look great ur defo leaner than ur last pics at the end of ur first cut. have u tested bf at all recently?

i want your delts for christmas haha

Ha, ya look massive in clothes, dont be modest lol

good man venom your in serious shape, fair play!!!! I think your right it is a case of finding that right balance but for me its lift heavy and get big, hence i'v stopped dieting for the show... i was 5% bf (got it tested) with 6 weeks to go and i just wasn't enjoying it, the training or nothing. I think it was too soon to go again for me anyway and i expieranced burn out, mental and physical!! Now i have taken a different approach i am doing the training i love......... strength and mass trying to get those compound movements big and heavy!
Bench is 105kg
Squat (perfect form) 140kg
Deads 180kg all for 3 sets of 5 reps so for the mo i'm gonna keep getting stronger, i hope!!

Who knows one day i might cut again????

Ye I get ya man. I gain pretty badly and cut up even worse. Takes me ages 2 get low bf. I hate the way most o the time ya have ta choose between the 2 as a natural. I love bulking and eating shitloads but my body doesn't lol my goal weight at some point in life would be 180-190lbs with sub 7%. I'll get there.......at sum point

U must not cut up 2 badly if ya got to 5% at 6 weeks out

Thanks cill, i suppose maybe not i'd defo be my own worst critic and the diet was harsh, and training sucked ass! But as we all know thats wha it takes.... keep solid with the tranin man and you'll defo get where ya wanna be, patience!!!!!

My goals now are strength related to get a break from the aestetic obsession of the bodybuilding. So i wanna bench 150kg, squat 200kg and deadlift 260kg. These are my first set of goals so it'll take time and consistancy but it'll be fun!!
