You aren't that big if you are 6'5" and 260 dude. If you were below six foot I'd say you were massive.
A king may move a man, a father may claim a son. But remember that, even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.

Awesome, you guys are better strength wise than me, i currently have 2 rotator cuff problems and cant bench, do shoulders, skull crushers. it even hurts to put my arms on the bar during squat. My goal is to get through football season, take time to rehab myself then get back into it. injuries suck. I tore my MCL last year too. 6'5" 260lb isnt big? What is then? So if i was under 6' that makes me bigger? Explain. I dont have alot of body fat for a guys that weighs 260lb

I also come from a family of no athletic background, terrible metabolism, and pin pointed body fat areas, so training to get a good phsique has been really tough. I cant wait to play college football and get up to 280+.

When I say "big" I mean pound for pound muscle. In a natural sense you are huge, but compared to someone like Lee Priest who is 5' 4" 220 pounds, 260 at 6' 5" isn't that "big". Im just talking in terms of sheer muscularity.

Big is relative. 5'8 180 pounds in contest condition at 18 is pretty big. I don't think I've ever heard of a teen national competitor over 220 (correct me if im wrong).Originally Posted by copanwordA king may move a man, a father may claim a son.

"As you know bb'ing takes time, so even though you thought your 60 lbs would be as big as you'd get, now that your there, you realise you can do more. Its a good thing. It keeps you progressing and getting better. Be proud of how far you've come, and from that, be motivated about how much further you can go."

Well I'm actually still trying to decide between powerlifting and bodybuilding...I've been switching my workouts back and forth for the last year or so. Currently I'm on a powerlifting routine.
Don't get me wrong on what I said. I'm not 1% bodyfat or anything, but I ain't nowhere near unhealthy. If I had to guess I would be around 15% BF....I could lose about 10 pounds of fat and all.
My main point was that you don't have to be big to be strong. I have had alot of friends over the years that have been big by the topic creators standards, and I have beat the **** out of them in the gym.
I got one friend that I'm training right now....He's about 6'1 and 20 pounds heavier than me, and he doesn't even come close to the weight I'm doing.5'8

This thread sucks.

Are you talking singles or reps. Because a 450 squat for 1 rep is different than 450 for 8 reps. I've never seen a guy walking around at 240 with sub 10% bodyfat that was "weak".Originally Posted by copanword
I would just do both. I don't see why you can't enter powerlifting and bbing competitions.A king may move a man, a father may claim a son. But remember that, even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.

That's what I'm considering doing now....I look back at Ronnie Coleman and Johnnie Jackson, and they both come from powerlifting backgrounds...That gives me more confidence because most of my strength gains have been from powerlifting workouts, and I guess you could say I come from the same past as they do. I have about 3 competitions under my belt...
Those stats are about 5 months old. I'm repping 450 now pretty easy. I haven't maxed out in a while, but if I'd have to guess I'd say 500+5'8

Strong squatting. I'd definitely go the powerbuilder route. Those guys (Jonnie Jackson, Ronnie, etc) are always thicker, more dense onstage.

Lol I will keep dirty bulking. My body fat stays at 11% regardless of what I eat, for the past two years I've been lifting. I have a hard time putting on weight, and the dirty bulking thing was kind of a joke from a thread where there was an argument as to which was better...guess a joke isn't funny if you have to explain it though.Originally Posted by EatProtein
And yeah this is a bodybuilding forum but what the hell is the purpose of this thread? Was there even a question he had, other than "Who is big?" wtf is that? Who gives a ****.Workout journal

I pride myself in my strength...And my arms...
Most of my arm mass is in my triceps, which was a bi product of ignorance. Ever since I started lifting I had used more of an inside grip on benchpress than most normal people do...I didn't realize it until about 2 years ago when I got started lifting major.
I love my triceps!!! lol but overall I'm pretty stout. Not trying to brag, but that's one of the things I'm most proud of.5'8
