    At one time I longed to be a very competitive bodybuilder. I was even willing to "enhance", but never had the money to do it. Now I just enjoy watching shows and seeing the physiques. The majority that I've met and know are really cool. But like any other "sport", you will have people that act like *kitten*. If I see a musclehead in my gym act like an *kitten* (not rack his weights, screaming like a banshee, or not cleaning up his sweat after using a piece of equipment), he gets confronted like I would anyone else who didn't follow the rules.

    overcompensation for lacking in another area :blushing:

    but seriously, I think most of them are severely self-conscious and insecure. don't jump down my throat for that, it is just what I have seen from personal experience

    if you have too much muscle that you have to walk differently you are missing the point of natural bodybuilding.. aesthetics is the goal and abnormally large arms, lats, chest to back ratio looks ridiculous

    like I said, don't jump down my throat. the only extremely muscled men that I have met in my life were not nice people.

    not saying they all are, just the ones I have encountered.

    People should pick a goal and look however they want. The responses you get here will be varied as usual. The only time I get bothered by "muscle heads" is when guys who aren't even all the big develope the terrible condition known as ILS (Invisible Lat syndrome). You all know it's hilarious to see some average looking dude walking around like his muscles are so huge he can't put his arms down.

    I wonder what they will look like in 20 years. hahaha

    but seriously, i have a newfound respect for them. Im trying to get bigger and it is freakin hard work. for them to put in that kind of work consistently for years-- i respect that a lot.

    As long as they don't have every vein in their bodies popping out everywhere, I like the muscles.

    There can never be too much muscle. But if they walk weird that's a deal breaker!
    just have to have good posture.

    I prefer normal sized (strong/muscular) guys who move more fluidly and don't carry too much bulk.

    I think I am an oddball here

    LOVE when I see veins on guys when they are lifting. Veiny forearms while doing deads? :heart: :love:

    I'm always afraid that they'll flip out and beat the crap outta me.

    I know.... I'm weird.

    as long as you stretch, you dont become musclebound. women who wear high heels have musclebound calves, because they shorten to the point that they lose flexibility. as long as you stretch, it doesnt matter how big you are, you will still be flexible. I can dead lift 500 lbs right now, and standing on a set of stairs, straight legged, bend over and place my palms on the stair below.
