Actually a natty lifter near genetic potential would look big as fck to and be accused of juicing by average people who don't know better.
nowadays anyone with muscle mass is immediately accused of juicing. Even juicing isn't a magic pill to instantly become huge. Juicers still have to work their *kitten* off to threaten being "huge".0 -
if you have abs but you're under 200 lbs, you're just skinny?
While we're making general broad-sweeping statements based on one man's opinion let's go ahead and say that if you're over 200 lbs and don't have abs, then you must be a bucket of lard.
Can we get an exact definition of what "abs" are? Is there a specific body fat % we're talking about? I just need to know because I'm currently 208 and I don't want to lose any more weight if it suddenly makes me look like a stick.
everyone is slightly different at what % abs pop out 6-10% bf for most guys for me its 7%0 -
I used to have a buddy that was very slender and because he had such low body fat, you could see his abs. He was under the delusion that this meant that he was "in shape and ripped".
Appearance does count for much though, and a lot of people feel this way.
Does it count if you are under 200 lbs and can see your abs? Counts for what exactly? What are we trying to stroke our egos over exactly?
To some people... seeing your abs is all that matters. If you are under 200 lbs so what? In that case its about appearances.
If you are a strength trainer then seeing abs is less important compared to being able to lift more, so if you can lift more than the guy that can see his abs, it doesn't matter that you can see his abs.
If you are a fighter and you can break the guy with the abs neck in five seconds and bust his spine over your knee then his abs aren't really doing much good for him.
If one is under the delusion that because they are blessed with low body fat that because they can see their abs that means that they are ultra healthy and "in shape" well... I will let them live in their delusional world.
It takes more than being able to see your abs to mean anything other than past the superficial quality of being able to see them.0 -

I have a Juiceman that I use to make fresh apple juice and my own "V8" juice for bloody marys. It hasn't given me abs or rippededness.0 -

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.
^^^^ Same goes for the fat chick with big boobs comment. The majority of your audience on here is not going to fall into that "Elite" category you keep talking about.0 -
Can't you go do something useful like count paperclips? 16 freakin' posts by you on one of the single most inane subjects I've seen on MFP. Congratulations.
You must not look at many posts0 -

You mean there's a website somewhere devoted to women with "elite" level bewbs?
Where does one find such a website out of curiosity? Purely for scientific purposes you will understand...0 -
I have a 70's or so photo of Ripp dead lifting like 5 or 6 plate raw, but other than that, I've never seen a picture of him moving anything respectable besides that.
At his weight, I don't see 6 plates raw as respectable.
I'm gonna pull 5 plates raw at 181 this year, and I dont consider myself to be an exceptional deadlifter, and I'm not close to an elite total.
But I agree, he didn't do much in the sport.0 -

They are the rectus abdominis muscle. They control flex in the spine. If you don't have them, you can't move.
So Every single person in the world under 200lbs is "skinny"
Every single person in the world over 200lbs is "jacked"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."
thank goodness i never had big boobs when i was fatter.0 -
