I Don't Get It!

[GET-THICK-QUICK]

Musclemania Superbody Pro bodybuilder Ade Rai is bigger than a bastard, but only weighs 210 lbs. at the height of 5'11''. How does a person attain that type of size with weighing so little for his height? At one point, Ade Rai only weighed 195 lbs. and he was pretty much the same size. There was a guy I used to work out with that was also 5'11''. This guy had 18 in. arms with everything in proportion, plus he was ripped to shreds. He only weighed 207 lbs.!! WTF!? I once bulked up to a fairly lean 210 lbs. at 6'2'' and I wasn't a third of these guys size or strength! Both guys were skinny when they began bodybuilding. The guy I worked out with started off with 11 in. arms. Within three years he attained 18 in. arms. What's with this weird phenomenon?

you're 3 inches taller and at the same weight, yet you don't understand why these guys look bigger than you?????????????

I guess you'll never get it

The two replies in this thread have nothing to do with his question

The answer is that water weight and fat count for a LOT more than you realize. Plus people are built differently, some people have bigger bones, etc. One of my friends is 5'10, 170lbs and I'm 5'10, 200lbs and he still looks bigger than me, even when I have lower bf than he does

210 at 6'2" is tiny, I've been to 268 at the same height and I'm still small. 18 inch arms? Tiny.

Now for the obvious, asian guys have small frames, and Ade Rai doesn't look a hint of white to me. Does anyone still remember Flex Wheeler? I know I do.

Seeing how we are about 70% water, you would think people would remember this one more often

he has a tiny head! or at least it looks like he does in the first picture here: http://www.musculardevelopment.com/rai.html
Basically I'm saying he was probably a buck five soaking wet to start. Add to that a fuck load of dedication and there you have it!

The year before ronnie won the Olympia, flex put out probably the best physique ever put on a stage before at 216 lbs at the ironman. He looked huge and diced.

He created the illusion of tremendous size with his small skeletal frame and immense muscularity due to his remarkable conditioning--an exhibition you might not expect from a 5'11" bodybuilder weighing only 195 pounds.

Look how narrow his shoulders are, how skinny his neck is - and so on. End of story.
