Gordon Freeman from HL2

He should pose his next picture with a crowbar

[BongoBanger]

That doesn't look right, but some people have way lighter skeletons than others.

One of the strongest kids on our PLing team competes at 165, 5'9" and 17" arms with super low bf%... he's got a 565 squat, 575 deadlift and a bench in the mid 300's in competition.

Not everyone who lifts got genetically shortchanged like the average miscer.

what team brah?? just curious.. no stalker

[My_Mouth]

Guy has my dream physique. I could care less if I weighed 156lbs (would probably add fat to round off at 160lbs), if I looked like him I wouldn't give a ****.

[frankbink5]

I am guessing you don't have your clothes on after a post like that

[Douche100]

Uhhh show me the post. That picture was from grade 11 when I was 16, almost 17. I moved out of that house when I was 17.

I never said I have a large frame; I have a medium frame. A large frame is more like an endo.

The other pic posted of you must be older hence the growing face.

Anyways you said a small frame looks like crap with clothes on, lets see how your medium frame looks with clothes on.

oh. I said in that post that it was an old picture. And I never claimed to have a good physique; I'm extremely critical of myself as well. I never meant that comment to be malicious, it was just bad choice of words. Guys who have small frames with good muscularity generally don't look near as good clothed as they do without clothes. On the other hand, guys with big frames can look jacked with clothes on even if they aren't.

[tommyV_1988]

His physique is weird.

He's shredded, but not huge as alot of peoples perception seems to be

[Zoupa]

for small frame maybe sean sherk.

for big frame i can't think of a good celebrity example.

[ChicagoCubz]

Al told me he was going to be the godfather of my child

Well he told me he was gonna be the father of my child.

And no I don't care how that sounded.

[Flognuts]

how the?

I was 162 pounds in this and he looks twice as big, must have the lightest bones ever

I meant picture examples and a 5'4 manlet doesn't help your point.

That's an excellent build, in my opinion, irrespective of bodyweight.

The responses above are quite entertaining. The truth is, I may be a little shorter, a little fatter, arms smaller or bigger, or 10 pounds in either direction on the scale. My bones may be heavy or light; I very well may wear a medium shirt on occasion. I honestly don't know, as I don't keep close track of these things. I know precisely how much I sumo, though. It occurs to me that if you've spent any time in lifting forums, you'll find that members have vastly different goals, none superior to the other. I, personally, happen to care most about strength; aesthetics are probably a remote second. This should explain why I like chains and why I'm often injured. If I liked being 30 pounds heavier, I'd be 30 pounds heavier. I've never taken steroids but if I wanted to take them, I wouldn't hesitate. I'm not self-righteous enough to sit in judgment of people who incorporate anabolics into their regimen. It's simply a personal choice.

You may very well find that if you approach your training as an exercise in personal development, rather than one of image development, you might experience gains you never anticipated. Or you can just belittle and criticize others. That, too, is a personal choice. Either way, it's lulz abound.

I do sincerely appreciate the comments. Some of them might even energize my training. Thanks!

When I joined here AlMovement was one of the first guys I saw on here and thought to myself I wanna look exactly like that. Perfect mix of strength, muscle and aesthetics.

Same, but we'd hate to lose the little definition we have.

But yeah man, I need to set asside females for like 4 months, and eat up so I cna crush these plateaus!

I hate lifting the same weight for 3 weeks straight, wish I could progress quicker on the lifts while staying lean.

I do it, but slow lift progress now.
