After 7 years of lifting I have come to the conclusion that a bodybuilder body is not attractive, and that pic related is.
Just being lean and athletic is far superior. It didn’t require drugs or shit loads of calories, nor does it require progressively overloading to extremely heavy weights and tons of volume. Just lifting with light-moderate weights with minimum volume is more than enough to obtain the lean athletic body.
Good thing I found all these ancient statues, I admire them and their aesthetic 1000x more than modern bodybuilding tren bodies.
I don't think there is any doubt the average woman prefers an athletic lean body to a super muscular one. Even most men would probably agree with that in terms of general aesthetics.
I was never specifically into bodybuilding but I've always lifted and toward the end of college I was very into powerlifting. I had gotten pretty big (188lb at 5'11", not especually huge for that height but I have a slim frame) and still had fairly low body fat, I just looked a lot "thicker". My arms and back especially were jacked. After college I continually got hurt and learned I had hypermobility disorder so no more powerlifting for me. I'm 28 now and focus mainly on general functional strength and athletic type conditioning. I still have muscles but I'm not nearly as strong and pretty lean at around 10-12% body fat most of the year at about 170lb. I get a whole lot more attention/compliments on my body than before and desu I've realized I think I look a lot better like this too. Granted the attention could be because everyone else I know from college has gotten fat and I just look good by comparison haha.

Bodybuilders do it out of passion, just as those who sweat for the statues you worship. That's fine if you dont like a certain body type but when you give the reason of vanity? That's pathetic.
I wouldn't do anything gay w/ you but I'd def rub my face and hands all over you and get hard and finish myself in the bathroom later. I'd pretend to be taking a huge shit but I'd be leaning on the sink looking at myself long and hard in the mirror and trying to will my blush away.

>a bodybuilder body is not attractive You're just now realizing this? Fucking nobody thinks Jay Cutler or Ronnie Coleman looks sexy.

Stats and lifts (work sets or maxes)???
Easton Howard
What's your routine and time lifting
Kevin Powell
if it takes more than a few months to look like OP's pic you're doing something very wrong
Bentley Lee
why not go for this, you get both the "bodybuilder look" and the greek aesthetic.
because after you achieve that you start training running and javelin throwing.

I think they're too "perfect". As in he projected his idea of a perfect body onto the sculpture, instead of sculpting a real body that is beautiful. If you pay attention to the greek sculptures, the guys are far from flawless, they have love handles and thin arms and mediocre quads. Yet they look far better than breker's. That's my two cents I'm not educated in arts.
Holy fuck. No homo. Can anyone give me a routine to achieve this chest?
How much do you think this guy bench?
Jeremiah Reyes

John Hall

Connor Price

thats why im starting olympic weightlifting soon, trying to incorporate into the compounds and then some acessories/iso so I can work on overall aesthetics as well. oly lifting is also pretty explosive and you get pretty shredded by it since it burns a lot more kcals than regulkar training
I already look like a greek statue but I want herculean mode
