Funny thread.
Different strokes for different folks. Not everyone is a BODYBUILDER! Everyone has different goals.
Regarding guys who try to lift way more than they are capable, they're morons and they'll always be around.
It's easy to get big and it's easy to get lean. The toughest part is getting BOTH BIG AND LEAN WHILE MAINTAINING SYMMETRY AND PROPORTION. But the bodybuilders of today are just waaayyyyy too fuckin big!
The perfect physiques - Sergio Oliva, Frank Zane, Flex Wheeler (he's on the bigger size so no bigger). The thing these 3 have in common.... full muscle bellies but not overly huge (well, maybe Flex to some degree), symmetry, proportion, super lean, and TINY WAISTS!!!
