:bigsmile: 7lbs to go before I take some time and consider precisely where I want to go with this. I know it's my body, and I know that I'm the one that has to live with it...but the 'who has your perfect body' thread really got me thinking.
My family naturally bulks up. Back, shoulders, pecs...we get HUGE so easily, it actually sort of sucks lol. Even when I'm fat...it's a chubby face, big shoulders and arms...and a nice round belly topping it off lol.
So, girls...I want to show you some pictures of me now...some pictures of my little brother to explain how easily we bulk up (and what I'd look very much like if I pushed it lol)...and then some pictures of a couple body types I like (the key is that I like them all...so I win regardless)...then let YOU tell me which you like best =D.
First, me now:

My front with very little work...and about 20-22% body fat. I guess what muscle there is to see is mostly just natural build. Can't WAIT until this is solid.

Full front picture on the same day.

Full back picture....today.
Now my little brother...back when he was working out with weights about 5 days a week, instead of the three bodyweight workouts I use (I don't really want to be this big...and you can see my back build just from bodyweight above):

Little brother.
And now...three different builds for you guys to pick from...mostly just so I can see what a cross section of people think. Guys you can vote too. Also, girls...ignore these guys faces lol, doesn't matter what they LOOK like, I just wanna know what you think of the builds!
![7434194_1461.jpg](http://photos3.mfpassets.com/images/photos/434/194/7434194_1461.jpg)
Slim

Middle

Solid
I don't know if my body type will lend itself well to the slim build...but I want you guys opinion on it regardless =D.

SLIM!! I dont like alot of muscle.0

I say middle! The solid looks out of proportion. With your height you would look better in the middle.0
-
the middle picture.... not too much muscle but not too little either0
-
Damn, your "little" brother is HOT! lol! I like the middle-to-built look on most guys!0
-
I vote for middle. Good muscle but not crazy built. Not a big fan of the "hulk" look.0
-
Solid!!<<<Solid!!<< I like a man to carry me, I dont wanna carry him! :laugh:0
-
Middle -- but your brother is smoking (and you aint bad yourself)!0
-
Middle ... I honestly think you look fine now though... I like guys who are a little thicker with somewhat muscular arms but not huge. I think too much muscle makes a guy's head look small and makes him look a lot older than he really is. But slim or middle is pretty nice.0
-
Personally I like the middle one. I'm usually attracted to more muscular guys0
-
I would say slim or middle.... middle seem perfect... i don't really like solid... if i met a guy like that he might itimidate me to much to make a move.. or to accept a date0
-
Solid looks it would fit your frame more. Slim and middle are nice as well.... Well they are all nice....0
-
slim or middle...I dont like solid.0
-
Slim or middle. The Solid guy looks almost puffy...0
-
I like the middle build, and the good news is it looks like you're pretty much there! Just a little more definition and you're smokin' hon! Great work!0
-
i, personally, prefer the slim, but i think your shape would look best with the middle build. definately not the solid. thats almost looks scary to me! and, if youre not wanting to bulk up so much, mix tons of cardio into your workout and try pilates. it help to define without buking.0
-
slim to middle0
-
Another vote for middle!0
-
I would say middle!! Definitely what I find attractive anyway!0
-
I would normally say middle or slim, but as some have already said, your frame lends itself nicely to the solid body type. If you could somehow minimize your trapezius muscle more than the guy in the picture, solid would look good. Seriously, block out the trapezius (and his face, which is pretty intimidating by itself), and he doesn't look THAT bulky.0

I'm a BIG ol' sucker for slim builds. But, the middle is fine, too.0
