Fuck, this thread is either making me want to improve my physique or slowly turning me gay. I'm not quite sure.

As for an ideal:

Fit enough to be comfortable walking around without a shirt but not quite large enough I won't ever be able to fit inside of a shirt anymore.

 

[inm8num2]

I plan to look like this when I'm old:

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

Brad Pitt and his body when he did Fight Club.

Not that I'm doing anything about it, but I have always thought Bruce Lee had the ideal body.

These. Didn't Bruce Lee only do calisthenics?

 

[triplestation]

I'd be more than happy with this. And a martini.

this is a great body

 

[Oblivion]

Brad Pitt and his body when he did Fight Club.

I like his physique in Troy better.

Slightly ot, but is there a name for that hair cut?

 

[CountAntonius]

What's crazy is that I could probably look like that in under 3 years (minus the insanity of the abs, perhaps), but I'm so lazy. I have the frame and the genetics for it. I'm actually broader than him naturally.

I was blown away when i found out this was Flash from the original Spiderman movie.

 

[Oblivion]

this is a great body

He's got better pics. That one doesn't make his chest seem impressive.

 

[FallingEdge]

These. Didn't Bruce Lee only do calisthenics?

lol no

Bruce did a fair amount of weight lifting. Squats, deads, etc.

 

[Pavaloo]

Classy physique, nice pick!

Holy shit no way!

 

[decaf]

 

[ToxicAdam]

Probably that wrestler CM Punk. Not too big and lots of tats.

 

[Warm Machine]

I like his physique in Troy better.

He was 36 in Fight Club and 40 when he was in Troy. That is pretty amazing.

 

[Lazyslob]

Donnie Yen. He is extremely fit, but not a hulking brute. That is my ideal body type.

I'll say this is what i would like to look like. Athletic, but not all gross and huge like a lot of people like nowadays.

 

[WorldStar]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Chris Hemsworth in Thor.

To have the mass but still maintain a slim waist, now that's amazing. Of course, even he admitted that it wasn't possible for him to keep that physique long-term.

Frank McGrath (the first guy in the first pics I posted, see below) has a size 29 waist. pretty fucking mind blowing IMO.

hard to believe, but these stats are always taken when BBers compete so it's legit.

 

[Lazyslob]

^^Not trying to be an ass, but I don't understand how people find this appealing at all. Like... why?

 

[WorldStar]

different people like different things?

I don't understand how you could possibly find Donnie Yen appealing...yet you do.

different strokes for different folks.

edit: even when I was a kid, I remember going to art museums and seeing statues off swole ass Greek gods...I was mirin

Arnold said in an interview once that his infatuation with bodybuilding was heavily rooted in the depiction of Greek gods. for some people, they'll see such depictions and immediately strive to look like em.

 

[FallingEdge]

Donnie Yen is too skinny for my ideal type. Dood still looks good though.

My goal atm, Hiroshi Tanahashi.

Well he IS a great martial artist, handsome guy, and imo ideal physique to me. But "bigger is better" to some, I guess.

 

[Sadsic]

less fat and better hair and less oily skin

 

[WorldStar]

see my edit for more details

and yeah for me, bigger is better. I don't expect you to understand it. only hope you'd realize not everyone is like you, and some people like different shit than you. it's really a pretty basic concept.

also, I LOVE how it feels when I add muscle mass. feels fucking powerful bro.

 

[bodyboarder]

How does someone make this image without including patrick bateman bale which will always be my ideal.

Probably this.

 

[FallingEdge]

Stereotypically man. If you are gym rat, like a person who's trying to reach bodybuilder status, you think you are going to have a lot of time to go out, drink or go on vacations and shit? No. Your concern is going to be to lift a couple of hours a day, sleep early so you get a good night's rest, and eat your meals every couple of hours so you get the calories and specific macros you want. Many women don't like that and they'll stereotype buff guys to being like that. Doesn't mean it's true. but that explains why some would rather just bang buff dudes than do anything serious with them. Girls want a guy that they can hang out with and shit, not someone who is obsessed with their physique and the gym.

This is so wrong on every single level lol.

I was just asking why. Pretty basic concept. Not just "i like it cause i like it".

 

[WorldStar]

I find it aesthetically pleasing, brah

and I like how it makes me feel when I add mass

 

[Wiktor]

I think Horton is my ideal. Big enough that it shows slightly even when he's earing normal clothes, but not big enough to affect his flexibility.
Also...the fact that he's 55 blows my mind.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

do you work at t-mobile?

 

[WorldStar]

do you work at t-mobile?

nah man they're not even my carrier

 

[Wazzy]

You would be surprised at how many people think that way.

 

[Lazyslob]

hahaha

 

[MrToughPants]

Prime JCVD

I feel I'm pretty close to this, just need a permanent tan.

 

[Jhoan]

I already have my ideal body look. It looks like Christian Bale's in Reign of Fire. I'm not even trolling.

 

[revolverjgw]

All these shaved chests are making me sick to my stomach

 

[XenodudeX]

All these shaved chests are making me sick to my stomach

No one cares about your smelly beard!

 

[FallingEdge]

You would be surprised at how many people think that way.

Yeah, it is quite unfortunate as well. Just gotta do my part to educate as best as I can!

 

[mr stroke]

All these shaved chests are making me sick to my stomach

Beast mode

 

[Sai-kun]

I think something like these would be pretty ideal for me:

Just gotta work on building a bit of muscle and I'll have it. Oh and I need to work on mah butt too because a nice ass is super important. Aside from wanting nice abs and a nicer butt, I'm pretty happy with where I am physically.

 

[Dead Man]

I'd be more than happy with this. And a martini.

Considering my ridiculously barrelly chest I think that is about the best I could hope for. Not that there is anything wrong with it at all It's just not quite my ideal body type.

Like DarthWufei.

LOL there are plenty of pics of him on google, and fallingedge in the results too lol. Maybe he is a famous porn actor

Spoiler

DarthWufei has put in the work, damn.

 

[revolverjgw]

No one cares about your smelly beard!

It's not smelly, it's musky

 

[A More Normal Bird]

I think Horton is my ideal. Big enough that it shows slightly even when he's earing normal clothes, but not big enough to affect his flexibility.
Also...the fact that he's 55 blows my mind.

Don't make me post the picture of Ronnie Coleman doing the splits. For all our sakes I'll keep it to this one:

Being big doesn't necessarily make you slow, stiff and "un-functional", that's a myth invented to sell DVDs.

You do have bigger and heavier body. Those are simple physics. Rich Froning (Crossfit champion) put on a lot more muscle once for more strenght, but it heavily limited his olympics gymnastics excercises, so he had to go down.

Now I'm not saying you can barely move if you're big, but all that additional muscle doesn't exist in vacum. It weights a lot and takes a lot of space

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Me at my leanest:

What I would love to look like:

Yep takes a lot of oxygen to work those muscles. Wonder why most fighters are more lean instead of insanely ripped? There are exceptions, especially when steroids are involved, but being massive is not ideal.

What I would love to look like:

Jesus, yeah, I'd be happy to look like that.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

Chris Evans as Captain America. Take some time to get there and some hard work.

This right here. Perfection (body AND face)

 

[inm8num2]

Jesus, yeah, I'd be happy to look like that.

You already have the beard down. I'd say you're half-way there.

 

[Dead Man]

LOL, beards are easy (if unfair), you either have one or you don't. I've lost a lot of weight in the last 6 moths, but now I need to hit the weights to look like that.

 

[Mona]

not really skinny, but not to big, and not flabby, but not to muscular either.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

As big as I can get naturally.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Donnie Yen is too skinny for my ideal type. Dood still looks good though.

My goal atm, Hiroshi Tanahashi.

This would be ideal for me and my body type. If I weren't such a lazy goob it might even be possible.
