That's good, hopefully he can will inspire people to work out

 

[hohoXD123]

Shopped?

Na, some plastic magic, son.

[m_shortpants]

I wouldn't say he's ripped. He's probably around 155 with low body fat.

 

[TheJLC]

Not ripped, but close. Good for him.

 

[Kost2Coast]

You're upset lol...

just a wee bit >.> I don't pay much attention to everything celebs do because I have better things to do, but seeing this makes me want to /facepalm and wonder when this kid will pull his head out of his ass. This is unlikely -_-

 

[A More Normal Bird]

I wonder if all the people saying that if a poster put pics like that in the fitness thread there'd be nothing but praise for their progress have actually read the fitness thread. The P90X thread, maybe. If Beiber posted pics like that in the fitness thread he'd be told to start drinking a gallon of milk a day until he can squat 485.

 

[HGStormy]

I meant normal body weight / size relative to his age and frame (as compared to him being a 'skinny sack of bones').

He's 20 years old; the age when people are usually still in school or young and not with kids yet, so no reason/excuse to let themselves go.

I think he's far more toned than most people (with lower bodyfat), but within the population of 20 year old men he looks to be the same size (thickness?). I'm back at school now, and most of the younger non-graduate guys don't look too different from him in weight / girth.

I'm 20. ow

On topic: Way too much vitriol. Good for him for taking care of himself?

All the people calling him a skinny sack of bones should start posting photos of themselves. Lol

 

[Winterfang]

He is ripped, haters gotta hate.

 

[RELIGHT]

He looks like a skinny piece of shit.

 

[flamingotripod]

He looks like a skinny piece of shit.

gaf who is right

 

[SparkPeople]

Looks like a focus on benching, lat pull downs, and ab work.

Kinda weird that his triceps are so small relative to his chest.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Biebs doesn't squat.

 

[Octavia]

Uh yeah, no offense folks but those are some pretty good results.

Jesus, I'm a jealous person but what's displayed in this thread is just ridiculous.

 

[TheKaeptain]

He has the body of a younger man that has been training for a few years in combat sports. Which make sense because he's been boxing for a few years now. Although I heard if you spar with him you're not allowed to hit him in the face.

 

[StickSoldier]

I wouldn't exactly say he's ripped, but his physique is definitely not just because he has low bf. I would love for my body to be in that shape right now, but I don't work out. I lost a lot of fat and it looked really bad because I had no muscle; this guy does have muscle and is skinny.

 

[JordanN]

Skipped leg day.

 

[studyguy]

Whatever. Dude looks like your average 20something hitting the gym to keep himself in shape. Good on him. His face in that first picture looks goofy as all fuck though.

 

[Shadybiz]

Yeah he's definitely putting in the work, that's obvious. Certainly not a beast or anything, but I sure as hell would have liked to have had that physique when I was his age.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Not negative, just oversold by the OP.

That's all.

HIs physique is still better than most of the male population his age.

They wouldn't though. Posters come into the fitness thread with something like that all the time and would be given the same criticism and advice presented here.

I suppose but a lot of the posts on the matter ITT are likely fueled by salt.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

If I wasn't at work right now, id post a lot of shirtless pics of myself. But I gotta follow protocols. :-/

 

[Mohasus]

that's hot

i'm jelly

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

What, you don't have a bathroom?

Public bathroom mirror selfies are like... the best.

I've done that before.........right after taking a huge shit. Posted it on GAF, too.

does that turn you on?

 

[ohlawd]

I think he looks good

shiet I gotta work out.

 

[sphinx]

I suppose but a lot of the posts on the matter ITT are likely fueled by salt.

really, what salt? nobody is saying he doesn't look good or great, for his age, build and the time he's been working out.

if you think people are jealous of that body, I don't think that's the case.

I can assure you, many guys posting in this very thread are way past that beginner stage bieber displays in those pics.

it's semantics the problem here, mostly.

JB is lean and young which is cool and very nice, that's all there is to it.

 

[AtomskEater]

body of a man...face of a kid

First post and all that. Like, I can see how his jawline has clearly become more angular... but I just see a kid face. He could probably grow a beard and I'd still see a babyface.

Nice bod tho.

No I just mean from the hate of JB in general lol.

 

[Zombine]

It's undeniable that the Biebs is putting in that work, but he's still featherweight.

 

[ajim]

He's still small, sure. But he looks good and he's exercising.

Good for him.

Biebs still pissing in peoples cereal just by being biebs.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Biebs put in work but he is still a douche. A workout doesn't change that.

 

[RM8]

Not skinny. Source: I'm actually skinny (and no, I don't get bonus abs you liars!).

 

[MIMIC]

I hate this mofo, but I certainly wouldn't mind looking like that. But I'm apparently a lot thinner than HE is >_<

 

[mdubs]

95% of guys his age would be thrilled to look like that.

Great body Biebs!

His face would be fine too if he was't always trying to look hard. I mean how is Justin Bieber of all fucking people gonna try and look tough.

So much in this thread.

 

[BUNTING1243]

The kid face and toned grown up body thing is really wigging me out.

 

[SapientWolf]

It's undeniable that the Biebs is putting in that work, but he's still featherweight.

A lot of women don't want anything bulkier than the Biebs. Thin is in, for some reason.

Like I said before, not everyone's goal is to look bulky...

For some reason? why can't women have different preferences?

 

[Dali]

Like I said before, not everyone's goal is to look bulky...

Seriously. Like I actively avoid it. It's why stupid comments like "skipped leg day" and "running destroys gains" just come across as people with their head too far up their butts to realize what you think is ideal isn't what another person is looking for.

 

[Forkball]

Muscle hierarchy:

Swole
Jacked
Built
Ripped
Shredded
Cut

 

[Fliesen]

Muscle hierarchy:

Swole
Jacked
Built
Ripped
Shredded
Cut

which sound a lot like different ways to prepare vegetables or meat.

 

[Dali]

I'd put swole and jacked at the bottom of the hierarchy. Ripped and cut are like compliments to me. It's like you're Bruce Lee or Terrell Owens. Swole and jacked are almost insults. They make me think boorish and probably obsessed with lifting.

 

[A More Normal Bird]

Like I said before, not everyone's goal is to look bulky...

Who said anything about bulk? There are 150lb women who can squat over 440. The milk is just fuel for the furnace.

Spoiler

I was making a joke about the focus on strength/size over aesthetics in the fitness thread.

If you have to actively avoid getting too bulky it may be worth having your food and genes tested. Either someone is slipping you roids or you're the next step in human evolution

Yo what. I just googled this Terell Owens guy. Let's take his stats of 6'3", 225ish lbs and calculate his Fat Free Mass Index at say, 12% bodyfat (he looks leaner in some shots but that could be photoshoot magic). The FFMI is by no means a perfect meausre, but the developers found that most of the bodybuilders in the era before steroids (ie the only ones they could guarantee weren't using) maxed out the index at 25. Using those figures for Owens gets a result of 24.9. The guy is almost as muscular as anyone can get without PEDs.

 

[Garruson]

You lot are there debating whether he's skinny or muscly and I'm just here thinking he and his posture look like this alien from Star Wars

 

[Naked Snake]

I never encountered the term Swole before this thread.

Edit: Why is the img so big??

Put it inside quote tags.


Also I don't get people saying Bieber has an ugly face. I mean the fuck? You can call his face child-like, not yet "manly", douchey... but ugly? Do you even live on planet Earth bro? Come on son.

 

[blitzcloud]

post reasons to be ripped beyond that level except veins popping out like an erection. Any reason about health and not bragging rights.

Ripped muscles tend to look off unless they're polished with oily stuff.

"Snake was kinda scrawny when he got locked up. Have you seen him? He just got out the other day. Dude swole as hell. "

" Well what else is there to do when you're locked up?"

 

[Henchmen21]

Won't lie, he's hot. Shame such a hot body is attached to such a d-bag though.

You are asking why a person should be strong?

 

[Nibel]

He looks good, but I wouldn't call it 'ripped'. Give him some more months and he'll easily reach that level though.

The only thing I would be concerned about is his posture.

Quote tags did nothing... NOTHING!!!!!

 

[CoolOff]

This thread telling me it's easy to look like that as a skinny 22 yo (6ft/145lbs) has inspired me to start working out again. My muscles are truly sore for the first time in 3 years.

Will document and return to the thread in 6 months looking like the Biebs. It's the only way to settle this discussion!

Spoiler

Yes, I know it won't be easy...
