When you say bodybuilding, is that a generalisation or do you mean like out and out extremity of bodybuilding?

Brighton - even Hove!

I just want to tone up and get a bit of muscle definition. The only abs I've got are on my car. I'm veggie so find it quite hard to make any difference but have started using whey protein supplement milkshakes x 3 a day.

I've competed a few times in a fitness category of a bodybuilding show. I was supposed to compete the other week but got ill. I think I'm going to wait until Bodypower next May to compete again.

Size isn't everything, it's all about definition, symmetry and proportion!

Its hard to be taken seriously as a bodybuilder these days though if you don't use steroids - most people have no idea what's naturally attainable physique wise and what isn't.

BODYBUILDERS- to the extreme takes unbelievable dedication, its not just the weights but the nutrition and obviously the "SUPPLEMENTS" needed to obtain the perfect symmetry...some woman/Men will like/love the look, but to put up with the 6/8 meals a day, Training 3 times a day...the mood changes and temperament... NOT many will put up with it...so looking for NSA naughties here may elimnate that issue. Its funny though..as some dont see it as a sport......keep going though, that extra rep similar to lick or thrust is the one that normally counts!!

It's seems obsessive and narcissistic and maybe that's the less attractive attribute of someone being extreme about their appearance just to win medals from others with the same hobby.

Then arises the question why is one bodybuilding?

If they are doing it just to get attention from women then (from my point of view) they wont be getting far in the sport. They will keep facing set backs. If you do it for yourself and see how far you can test your body to its extremes...then their shall be good times ahead (he sings lol)

...and yeah, many dont like the big muscular look lately. Its so last decade

People often write as though making attempts to be more attractive to women is a bad thing/sign of weakness, whilst I consider it essential if you don't want your bloodline to end with you. To me, a man should train to both better his chances at finding the woman he wants to be with, and perhaps more importantly, to prove to himself that he is capable of setting personal challenges/goals and achieving them.

Only my opinion (mr sex) but anyone who takes care of themselves and appearance..im NOT 6ft, and I dont see myself how others pass comment on my what i would call rugby type physique...some swimmers for example and those who compete in Athletics...Kelly ennis, thingy Holmes...the dancers on strictly.....NOW thats what were talking about!! In my opinión...HOWEVER, I often say when people pass comment...."oh theres a zipper on the back and ive got one in Blue as well" lol yes its the initial attraction someones appearance...but you're only looking at one aspect, its the person within the skin that matters...thats why we smile when folk say NO, SORRY HES GOT A SHAVED HEAD, there choice we know, there isnt BUT there could be a reason why theres no hair..(mines just a desert-nowt will grow on it)

I'm seen as 'massive' to some of my work colleagues, but I'm far from it. I'm 6ft1" and currently around 13st6lbs at 6% body fat (2 weeks out from a local comp I didn't end up competing in). My every day weight is around 14st. I'd say that was an average weight to be, but I look bigger than what I am because of my 27" waist.

I think that's abit harsh to say that. I am open an honest about my GYM life and I've done a course of steroids and my temper didn't flare up. I don't walk about like a hard man. I don't think I'm gods gift to women. Some guys use steroids as an excuse to act like a violent dick. Most guys about have tried or are on steroids but you don't know coz 1) they are doing it wrong 2) they lie about being on it. I'm not advising to use steriods I'm just giving my opinion.

My quads are quite big, and my glutes are too. I buy 34" jeans and have them taken in on the waist.

I feel underweight to be honest, but it's hard for me to gain much more, I've never managed to get over 196lbs (14st).

I've got a 17" neck, 15.5" arms and I'm not sure what my chest is. I'm all back though, my chest has always been very weak.

If the statistics you posted are accurate Randy, then you have an FFMI of 23.5, which basically puts in the genetically gifted category for bodybuilding - may I ask your best lifts and weights?

Don't wanna be extreme either. Just enough to look lovely for meself, me partner and admirers. Love when a shirt looks customised solely for oneself. That's when the muscles bring out the value of time invested in production. On the round, I'm a fit guy and love looking it too.

I train relatively light, with strict form. My best ever one rep max was a 190kg deadlift. I tried 200kg, but couldn't lock it out. I only flat bench 20kg a side (60kg) but that's for reps, 130kg is my best ORM. I squat 45 a side for reps, but as I say, I don't train heavy, I train with strict form.

They're not a millions miles apart those disciplines, as both require a high degree of strength to succeed. You say that you don't train with heavy weights but mention a 130kg Bench and Deadlift 190kg (very impressive lifts btw) - though you say you train much lighter now and go for feel, I guarantee you that you wouldn't have the muscle mass you do now had you not previously built up your strength to those levels.

I just started body building a few months ago and I have learnt a lot in that time if you train naturally and well it can take 5years plus to teach your genetic potential it's not something to just give a go.

In my own little world

I belong to a muscle gym because i need the routine and I can do my thing without having to socialise (I a right grumpy bastard). we've all sorts, body builders, power lifters, kick boxers and cage fighters. Then there's little old me, I don't think they know what to make of me, as I do my weights after doing a yoga session as I want to remain flexible too. I have challenged them to yoga and they lost, but then I couldn't lift their weights. Each to their own

To be totally fair, the 130kg flat bench was crap form. It was taken over by the front delts. I do only train light now, with much more control. I'm very critical over my form, and I'm never happy with myself. Suppose that just pushes me on to better myself...

6'1 is pretty tall, so chances are you have long limbs too, which would explain why you feel so much of the bench weight in your shoulders (don't forget that weight increases on a longer lever, like lifting a housebrick in your hand then lifting it with a shovel). Something I found really helps with better bringing your pecs into the bench press is to first try widening your grip slightly, and think about what your elbows are doing rather than your hands - I find I get a much stronger sensation in my chest if I try to lift the weight by pushing through my elbows rather than my palms.

I would say they do differ quite considerably ?

The above orm are indeed impressive but compared to a power lifter of equal weight they are 2 thirds .

Mine are similar at 75 kg I only bench 130 max and dead 180 max

What is true I'd say is one needs heavy compound lifts to stimulate the correct hormones, and then the strict medium weight form will break down the muscle fibers and stimulate growth

As an occasional climber I know that we can dramatically increase strength without the beef obviously there is a limit of strength to muscle mass but this is usually the objective for a power lifter and climber and not so important for a muscle body /shape builder

Nutrition is equally important

Fallen Madonna- thats how i/we train....ie. weights, wrestle, judo, Box and then some of the classes for "girls"....dont let anyone knock the "girls" classes, ideal for heart rate and cardio along with co-ordination.....so back to the body building and door men... Bulk to be a door person should I say is bollox, a good door person will talk the "yob" out of the club/pub and just leave them outside, however......if the yob needs to be hit...they have to stay HIT. In my days fighting ive seen time and time again 90kg guys knock clean out guys 30-40 kg heavier...(thats on a mat) not outside the Dog n Duck...all im getting at size doesnt matter if you've been taught the skills...

I'm guessing that you weren't especially lean either? That's not a criticism, its simply that very, VERY few guys have the genetic potential to even reach that size at any particular level of leanness, even Arnold Schwartzenegger who was known to use plenty of steroids 'only' weighed around the 16 stone mark in competition shape - which of course, was a lot less 'ripped' in the 70s than the bodybuilders of today.

Now after 10 years away from the gym I'm working hard to get back into shape.

I have the up most respect for anyone who is fit ,toned etc as it takes a hell of a lot of work to get that way.

After saying that Mrs R is more into the toned look rather than the ripped look.

I respect the fact that you're honest about your previous use, I don't actually have a problem with guys using steroids, that's their choice, but I greatly dislike those who lie about it.

I've read that steroids first started to become prevalent in bodybuilding around the mid 50s and onwards - they existed before then but were extremely rare and only really accessible by those who had ties with the labs that were initially producing them. If you look at images of bodybuilders from the 40s and before, you'll see a VAST difference in size and muscle compared to those from the 60s onwards.

Trace comes from the type of family who gain a stone just by walking past Greggs.

Neither do they subscribe to sport or exercise.

Because of this, not wanting to look like her sisters, Trace became bulimic and went down to just over 7st.

This was in her early to mid 20's.

It scared me to death and as I trained at a gym I got her into going there to change her shape, instead of killing herself to do it.

She became addicted to it, took various courses and has been a fitness/gym instructor ever since.

She competed in the Trained Figure Class and won many area and national championships, also a European championship and a couple of runner ups in the worlds championships.

She now trains women for competitions, so you could say body building saved her life.

I never used to get the whole gym thing but I wanted to improve my fitness going from 8st to 12st you definitely feel good about yourself like a personal high, it's fun to train yes, there is the hardcore elite that have super sculpted bodies and diets. I can also be there to help self confidence and accomplishing personal goals, being first time doing 10 Pull ups or squating 100kg.

As long as the person is happy, good for them

Everyone should workout. Be it weight training, swimming or running etc, working out is not only good for the outside but also on the inside.

A lot of the reasons why the population is getting fatter or unhealthier is because they don't move about as much as their ancestors did.

Humans are not designed to sit on their arses all day. If you are working out and eating healthier (what ever your chosen form of exercise is) then well done.

You're absolutely right - our ancestors as recent as our grandparents didn't need to use gyms simply because so many of them had manual jobs that they would have been fit and strong anyway - there's no way you can swing a pick axe at rocks for 12 hours down a mine and NOT be.

Totally agree with both of you! This is why I enjoy CrossFit so much! It embodies these principles at its core..

Oh, and of course not that there would have been many gyms around in the 40s-60s anyway, I mean hardly anyone would have used them - how many of our grandfathers do you think would have spent the day hay bailing or loading sacks of potatoes, THEN go and spend the tiny amount of free time they'd have had each day lifting MORE weights?

I think they'd have wanted to put their feet up and have a well deserved cup of tea.

We both go to the gym ( him more than me) he has done a competition and I loved when he was ripped and although hes not dieting like before and has got more body fat he still looks well. I have been training for about 7 months and im getting some very toned body parts ( which I love ) I dont want to be over muscly just very toned. I feel alot better about myself too, I get on with all the lads at the gym ( im the only only women in the weights area's) I even train with a few of them when hes away working, gyms are not as scary as some people think!

Never ceases to amaze me how many women say that - you can use the as much weight as feels comfortable for you, going as heavy as you can manage (safely and responsibly of course), and you STILL won't become 'overly muscly' as a result because building large muscles requires large levels of testosterone, so obviously that's not going to be much of a concern for the majority of women

Ongoing project. I don't (and never will) use steroids. Currently bulking and around 14st 7 but struggling with the waistline, having difficulties balancing the levels of cardio. Now doing tabata principle sprints to manage this. Any suggestions to help?

"I belong to a muscle gym because i need the routine and I can do my thing without having to socialise (I a right grumpy bastard). we've all sorts, body builders, power lifters, kick boxers and cage fighters. Then there's little old me, I don't think they know what to make of me, as I do my weights after doing a yoga session as I want to remain flexible too. I have challenged them to yoga and they lost, but then I couldn't lift their weights. Each to their own"

A chest and a couple of bi's sounds good. When are you gonna work on your arm muscles?
