Based on that pic, no. I'm not sure I'd describe u as muscular at all, let alone too muscular.0

You look great. He was probably trying to flirt with you.0

Maybe it's a bad pic but I don't think you look muscular. Keep hitting the weights hard. You won't get unattractively big by simply consuming a normal amount of calories and lifting.0

Not at all. You look slender and fit. He's just giving you a bro-compliment.
And even if he was criticising you, who cares? You're going to change what you're doing because one person said something? Nah!0 -
magic 8 ball says- probably not.
But who cares what he thinks. Personally it makes me quiet happy when people notice the size of put on... but dem gainz son- they matter to me.0 -
You're hardly muscular. You look average to me. But then again, I'm around muscular people all day, so I guess it's subjective.

Probably to clean the giant smear on your mirror.

No. You look good, but I don't see any muscle.0

So I can see the picture- no. you aren't muscular. you're lean- but you aren't particularly muscular. Unless you're training for an endurance event I would suggest lifting more and running less. But that is my completely bias- I'm a total meat head- kind of opinion.0

A: Not hardly.
B: 1 regular at my gym called me a "beast" and another said I looked "jacked." I think both were compliments.0 -
No. He probably wants to bang.0

I have a rather similar build and wouldn't consider myself muscular but I get comments like this all the time. It makes me uncomfortable and upset...so I totally understand why you wouldn't take it as a compliment. I am actually only doing body weight exercises with the hopes that I will look less "muscle-y"
FWIW, I think you look great! (But completely get how these kinds of comments can get to you)0 -
You certainly aren't too muscular. You might have some muscle definition but you aren't muscular. If you want to be muscular you need to do more lifting and less cardio, and eat in a surplus. If you aren't doing any of that, you have nothing to worry about.0

Girl take it as a compliment. I'd kill for a body like yours. No, you're not big in any way or shape. If you like what you see, keep going.0
-
Nope. Not even close.
Keep lifting OP.0 -
Hell no. You look great0

Tuesdays: chest and shoulders
Thursdays: Legs
Saturdays: Biceps and Triceps
Sundays: Back and abs
I also am an avid runner. Monday and Wednesday are my long cardio days, and on lift days I will generally run 2-3 miles before my lift as well.
My coworker just came up to me and said "Damn, Jess! Looking swoll over there. You're getting big". I'm not sure how to take this. Does he mean that I am gaining weight? Am I too muscular and should lay off the weights for a while? It made me really self conscious and am kind of embarrassed now.
What do you think?
You look great, not big at all. Ignore your co-worker.0 -
look fine to me. You must remember some men aren't very good at articulating compliments. And at the end of the day - do you really give a *kitten* what a co-worker says? Unless you have a 'thing' for him and want him to like you? You gotta feel good about yourself and not give a toss about what others say. If you feel good - you look good! If it was a girl i'd say she was jealous. seeing as it was a guy - badly worded compliment.0
