Do muscles really help you get girls?

I agree with your other point that it seems most chicks go for the middle ground guy who looks legit but not overdone. You don't have to look like guys from the NFL combine who can bench 250 lbs 20 times, but you shouldn't look like McLovin from Superbad either.

Yeah I had a LOT of women tell me how much better I look at 230 compared to 250. I was kinda fat at 250...not like blubbery but I had the protuberant "power gut" going on. Plus my face looked like the moon. I think everyone's frame has a max weight it can hold before it just starts to look bad. I have a narrower frame so unfortunately 275+ is not in my cards, but hey 225-240 aint bad for a guy if he's in shape.

Fug you have the most retardedly wide shoulder girdle I've ever seen! Your frame is perfect for physique. Have you considered doing a men's physique show? Apparently it's a new category in Amateur bodybuilding. Basically similar in conditioning to BB'ers but less mass.

Also your wife is a smoke show. Props.

Thanx man.

I've heard of the of this new division, and that the NPC is already implementing it in the US. Unfortunately Canada is typically behind a bit on stuff like this. I think there's a women physique division at the higher levels here, so kinda in between figure and bodybuilding, but nothing yet for men. If I do make it to the provincial level this year, I'll get killed, and then I know there's a fitness model search thing in a few weeks after in a different federation that I'm potentially looking into. Still, 20 weeks of dieting is gonna totally suck, and will probably be the hardest thing I've ever done.

Its a little bit nice because up here, at the lower levels its all about conditioning. That being said, my 15" arms and 24" quads and skinny calves are gonna be a big liability compared to my torso. Oh well, gives me something to work on I suppose.

Doncha feel a lot better at around 230? I still think you should drop another 10-20 get tanned and strip your way thru the rest of your program! Your gf would love the "arm candy" effect that you have, and would beg to parade you around in a tank top all the time!
