    Yup. Golden era bodybuilder.
    same. They are my inspirations. Besides I could never be as big as Jay or guys of today even with steroids. Too much cortisol in my life lol

    Can I be in the middle please?
    I dont want to be the incredible 'Hulk-ette' but i certainly want to be lean, and have defined abs!

    It is impossible for women to be Hulkish without the use of PED

    Personally, I dig the lean but strong physique.

    Depends on what you mean by "body builder" and what you mean by "Calvin Klein model" but probably somewhere in between......I want to look good, not like a steroid ingesting freak and not a weenie skinny jean wearing girly man either.....strong but lean.

    I think it depends on the individual. Some people's bodies seem made to look good lean, others look better a little more muscular. Both looks, and a combination of looks, can be attractive.

    That is a beautiful physique! For myself I will be in between! Just because of genetics! I like the look of some muscle and tone, but I will never give up my curves! lol

    Well I don't want to look like my arms are to big for me to wipe my own @ss. Plus I think most women find that scary anyone. I hate the idea of being a lean noodle, just not me.

    Have to admit, Ol Captain America does fit the bill pretty well of what I'd like. Well defined/muscular but not crazy looking.


    For women, feel shallow for admitting it but VS all the way.

    For myself, my goal is to have a similar physique to Mike Mentzer.

    Lean, athletic/fitness physique for me..something along these lines would be good.

    I need to drop a couple more points in BF% and I'd be pretty close.

    I am an athlete, would rather be lean than pumped.

    I'm Italian, I'm genetically predisposed to look like Maria Grazia Cucinotta or Sophia Loren, and I'm okay with that. I run and lift to stay toned. I'll take the Italian movie star thing with a shot of 21st century common sense to keep it all where it needs to be.
