"abs on a skinny guy is like big boobs on a fat chick, it doesn't count."
I can assure you that THIS fat chick's big boobs count.
I am in agreement here!! lol Mine always count!
Looks like no one gets the boob quote either. Go back and read it again.0 -

This thread reminds me of that saying, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt."

Ugh. I don't think you understand humility. You are sooooo sure you know that my son is skinny and not ripped, when you should have enough humility to say there's no way you can know because you've never seen him. How hard is that to understand?You keep using that humility word, I'm not sure you know what it actually means. I in no way put myself above your triathlete, I haven't included myself in the quote (I'm just the messenger), this whole topic isn't even about me in particular.0 -

This is hilarious. I don't think YOU are getting what you even typed. How about YOU go back and read it again. Your statement about fat chicks with big boobs is essentially saying that because they're made up of fat, they don't count as real boobs.
If anything, I hope you've learned that Susie's boobs count.0 -

Your son is a triathlete. He's not a powerlifter. It's a different sport. There are different training methods and different physiques involved. It should make no difference to you or your son how he stacks up against powerlifters. They don't care that he can outswim them. It doesn't mean he's not a good athlete and it doesn't make him a bad person.0 -
"If you have abs, and you weigh under 200 pounds, you aren't jacked, you're just skinny" - Just heard this on the EliteFTS podcast. Looks like its time for you guys to start bulking!
it also reminds me of the saying:
"abs on a skinny guy is like big boobs on a fat chick, it doesn't count."
So not true... LOL ... Here are two skinny guys. The Abs do count. They take work.

Ok read carefully. If you son is anything near a decent triathlete he will have a body similar to Micheal Phelps aka a scrawny teenagers body, that yes IS lean, but not big muscular wise at all. Now go look at some up to date photos of Dave Tate, or John Meddows, these guys are lean AND muscular. That is who the quote is oriented to. A triathlete doesn't care much for strength so it is OK that your son isn't muscular. And since you argue so adamantly that your son is THICK SOLID TIGHT, if he is then he isn't a very good triathlete, your choice.0 -

My son has ripped abs, his arms are cut, and he's under 200lbs. I never claimed he was a powerlifter, but I'm claiming that he is not "just skinny", as the OP's quote claimed.0 -
Im surprised how many women actually got offended by the boob post :P0

I'm not offended in the least. What I'm telling you is that he is not "just skinny".
Oh- and I know a little about powerlifting. My husband is a powerlifter and still benches 400. My other son, who is 18, squats 600. Their physiques are nothing like that of my 25 year old who is a triathlete, but none of them are skinny.0 -
"If you have abs, and you weigh under 200 pounds, you aren't jacked, you're just skinny"
Skinny like Asafa Powell you mean?
Yep, he's not very big.
Thanks for providing your sense of perspective.
I guess to a tiny part of the population he would be considered "skinny".
The blind part.0 -
The quote came from a podcast featuring some of the best Power lifters and body builders around the world... so someone who hopes to train at that level is their audience, please understand that mindset before posting.0

He is lean but he isn't big. Arnold was big, Coleman, Yates, Zane, were all big. This guy isn't. That is the perspective since the quote is coming from EliteFTS.
I'm sure he is one hell of a sprinter, I don't doubt that, but he isn't BIG THICK SOLID TIGHT0 -

squats 600 lbs? :P0 -
that level is their audience, please understand that mindset before posting.
That's fair enough.
As long as you understand the mindset and the level of the audience you are addressing on this website in turn.
"Skinny" can be used pejoratively and in a negative sense. That's why you are getting a lot of flack.0 -

agreed.
It'd be like people listening to an anorexic podcast, then taking offense when they said the following example was a "fat" person:
If anyone in this thread other than Plates and a couple others knew who the information was coming from, they'd understand.
this is the owner of EliteFTS:

The podcast was targeted to that audience, your post was not. If you want to get more people to agree with you, it might benefit you to keep your audience in mind.
And again, stop letting someone's comment on the interweb get to you.0 -

Actually it means that while the boobs may be big, the total package is not impressive.
I'm in for vid of the 18yo barbell back squatting 600 parallel or below.
I wouldn't call that Asafa Powell dude skinny, but he is indeed not very big. Does he even lift?0 -
squats 600 lbs? :P
Yup. He's a big boy who thinks squatting this much makes him big guy on campus. He plays college football.0 -
Oh man If I could I would birth his babies!0 -

Don't have an issue with that really.
He is small in comparison to those guys and if your goal is to be "big" in that sense then yeah, 200lbs is light.0 -

Powerlifters think your son is skinny. John Force thinks your Dodge Viper is slow. Who fcking cares?0 -
