Plus I do believe Ronnie Coleman was working as a police officer while he was also heavily into body building. The entire thing is just stupid and I get tired of hearing that crap excuse/BS just like "I don't want to get big" crap.
Don't worry champ, you won't, lol.
Edit: Yep, it's even on youtube, lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzFJqpdJOMk
To be fair, Ronny Coleman as police officer is some of the funniest shit I've seen. Watching him eat multiple meals in a squad car makes me question is efficacy at enforcing the law in a timely manner.
Naw, bro, they're totally muscle-bound...
I hate what roids have become in the sport. That roid gut is just.... ugh.

Don't be hatin'
I'm a big fan of this sort of physique.
Not too cut, not disgustingly large.
He sold clen over Facebook lol. Can't really hate on him though, he started a huge gym culture in Australia which isn't exactly a bad thing (except for all these lame alpha bros)

That movie looks terrible, and so does Matt Fox. Seriously, he looks terrible that lean.

Agreed. But a roid/power gut looks pretty awful too. I'll take a medium please.

Lean is awesome. That pic of Fox flexing is not. He looks scary

I take the time to scour Google to find pics for A.T.M.-GAF, and this is how you repay me? This is the last time I cater to your demographic. /sarcasm

I always liked Shawn's body:
Not freakishly cut, but still clearly in tremendous physical shape. Just the right amount of body hair.

I know thus guy who was skinny as hell, 6 feet maybe 130-140. Now on Facebook, its five years and he's a massive wall of flesh who can't rest his arms to his side. He also has this swollen gut even though he has abs. Thats steroids right?

I'm not lady or gay GAF, but personally when I see Sandow I see power. I don't see that so much with the modern-day body-builder/fitness model physique. The only guys who come close would maybe be Matt Kroczaleski power-lifter type dudes.
Can't see his quads in this pic but he has those legs that Devo thinks are weird. They are kind of unavoidable if you are lifting the kind of weight these guys do in the power lifts.
edit: I say damn @ that Konstantine vid!

I tend to be really attracted to very lean guys, (I have a thing for hipbones, I am terrible), but in that first pic with the veins and the looking like he just has skin painted on bare muscle eeeeeeeeee nope.
Lucas Parker
Well, he's definitely a shower.

I think the swollen gut is due to HGH. From what I've heard, the HGH makes not only the muscles grow bigger but internal organs as well. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

A couple of the guys posted have another issue: their body fat is actually incredibly low hence their muscles being so visible. It's not healthy.
Dat junk.

Those modern bodybuilder competition types just look straight up comical.
Badr Hari has a great body as well, IMO up there for best abs
You can't deny huge bodies can create problems tho. Huge guys have all sorts of problems ranging from small things you could live without to actually having trouble cleaning your ass, I even know a guy in my old gym who changed his whole walk around it for some reason (although maybe Arnold wasn't big enough for that to occur, if so my bad). Also besides this some girls just don't like ripped and hard bodies, hence the bedroom comment. I haven't ever seen someone use the argument to not get big tho, personal preference is usually it

Yeah, the lats and biceps just look way out of proportion. Does not look right to me at all.
Yep. Sick athletic ability.

Yeah, I am not down with that. I like slender, slightly cut. If I can count your muscle fibers you are doing it wrong.
Oh it's looks comical, sure. It's also unnatural for the upper body to become so large and dwarf (relatively speaking) the lower body, but with so many muscle groups up top, it has the capacity to do so.
Nevertheless, it's impressive as fuck all the same.
I was being sarcastic.
Reem has gotten rather large over the years. Some would say too large for it to be all down to hard work.
You know probably every one in this thread posting what they think is the best physique is simply their own body type in a perfected form. So narcissistic. I'm no different though. I think the ideal physique is "athletic build" - skinny enough to be able to run competitively long distances, but muscular enough to move through people. But for a straight "muscular" type I'd have to go with Bruce - that guy is cut perfectly IMO.

I am weird and like this guy, though I will admit it's mostly the cheekbones.

Arnold is the correct answer. The man was chiseled out of stone by the gods themselves.

Arnold could definitely wipe his ass.
The main thing people don't realize about these crazy bodybuilders is that they prepare for the photos. They work out, they oil up and tan up and quickly take the photos when you're at your peak with almost no water weight.
If you saw these guys on the street in normal clothing you'd be shocked that they're not just bulging pieces of meat.

We all figured this out when he pissed a ratio that's similar to a tiger.

Don't know what you're talking about.
His physique is equal to your boy, Shawn Michaels, during the attitude era.
well that's convenient because Arnold's body requires elite genetics, some chemical help, and an extraordinary amount of hard work, whereas that dude has a body achieved by eating more salads each week.

Bullshit. He's never sent a single shiver down a girl's spine, let along ALL of them.

And to me it's not worth all the hard work because he looks appalling. To me. I am sure some people like that, but good lord, he has wings.
Well said. Very well said.
