Your Ideal Physique

[[S]alvatore]

Ok so most of us train to get a better body, and i'm sure we've all got an idol. I'm just interested to see the physique that everyone is looking to achieve:

My idol would have to be Batista:

6'5", 317lbs (Which may be exaggerated). The only bad things are that he has a bit of gyno, and his quads are underdeveloped compared to his upperbody (possibly why he didn't too well as a bodybuilder). I look up to him because we have the same shape face, same ears, nose, eyes everything. And the veins on my bi's aren't just a straight line, they are jagged, like his. I know i'll never be 6'5", but i've only got another 117lbs before I get to the same size as him (Although I will need gear to get there).

So who are your idols?

 

[MindOverMatter]

I honestly don't have one. I'm the type that will focus on the procedure rather then the result. I don't have any photos of bodybuilders to look up to, nor do I use idols. And this may sound weird, but I don't have any full size mirrors in my pad. I even took my bathroom mirror off and replaced it with a smaller one. At the gym, I wear long sleeved sweat shirts so I never really get to take a look at my physique. What I'll do is take an updated photo about once every month or two and use that to track progress and that's the only time I'll ever use a scale.

This way, everytime I look at my progress photos, I notice a big change, and I never end up disappointed that I'm not making gains fast enough like some people who look at their body / scale everyday.

Like I said, focus on the work, rather then the results. If you focus on having a perfect workout everytime you enter a gym, and eating perfectly everyday you wake up, results will come on their own.

p.s. a lot of the wrestlers are not only on gear, but use silicone implants. Not sure about Battista, but Buff Bagwell had silicone in both his chest, arms and calves.

Have you guys seen caveman (username) on T-Nation?

Thats pretty much it.

damn, caveman's a beast.


I'd still put him to sleep with a 25 lb. dumbbell


Surfer look for me. Or at the most, Men's Health cover physique. In between, that dude who starred in 'The Dragon'... that's a cool look.

That caveman guy is amazing. That is really an incredibal body.

My ideal Physique

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You DO realize the guy weighed 135lb right?

Skinny or not he could still kick any of our asses.

Maybe. But he's dead now.

And this is not about Bruce's ability to kick ass. It was "ideal physique". I have no idea why anyone would model their ideal after a skinny, malnutritined man.

 

[Spook]

This one is easy. Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden. Not too big, but big enough - and cut.

Just wanted to add that this line actually made a bit of wee come out it was so funny . Point made- he was a crazy ass-kicking gashfest, but we could all take him now.

Block my foot corpseboy.

I havnt found an ideal physique yet but somthing around 220-240 lbs @ 8-9% bf

For me this would mean putting on 30 lbs and dropping my bf to about 8-9%. It will prolly take me about 2-4 years to get this though, but when I do... Damn will I be awesome.

Now we're talking!
Something that takes dedication and effort to achieve!


Mine is to be ~205lbs @ 8-9%BF

205 is a very nice weight for my 5'11" frame. Just big enough.

... Nah. Too easy.

The Rock also had silicone in his chest, because his chest was out of proportion with the rest of his body.

 

[Shiftkey]

I agree with Spook. If you get too much bigger, many women think you look gross.

But if your goal is to intimidate the sh1t out of people and not pick up women, by all means look like a professional wrestler

And you heard this from where? The only thing with Rock's chest is that he had a bit of gyno. Not too sure about now though, he lost a fair bit of bodyfat for DOOM.

And for all those people who say Brad Pitt in Fight Club, that can be easily achieved within 3 months. Get your diet sorted, add some cardio & resistance training and you'll get there. Obviously you won't look exactly the same because you won't have the same skeletal structure but meh.
