I remember I thought he looked fucking huge.

I feel sorry for the boys growing up now looking at all these roided out monsters thinking they need to look like that to be good looking. In the 90's we had actual regular sized people as the peak male specimen.

    Holy shit, that's like... You haven't even seen beginner gains, haven't learned proper mind/muscle connection, haven't gotten form and control down, no guarantee this is a real lifestyle for you yet level of noob.

    Most women I've talked to don't like it anyway. Just look healthy and fit and you're good. No need to look like the Hulk on steroids.

    I can second that. While a little bit of muscle is hot, the weightlifter/bodybuilder/linerback/etc style body does nothing for me and the "roided out" look is a complete turnoff.

    That said, you shouldn't do things like that just to attract people. If you wanna be some big muscle guy, do it cause you want to. And if that is the kinda person you wanna be, cool, there will be people who will be attracted to you for the person you are.

    ... just don't do steroids. That shit's bad for you.

    You're telling me Vin Diesel didn't take steroids back in 2000?

    And Brandon Lee wasn't terribly dehydrated on the set of The Crow?

    Abs are not arms. The OP pic, Vin's arms aren't that insane, but to have picture perfect abs in a shirtless scene he would've been dehydrated to hell because thats the only way your abs show as clearly as Hollywood likes. This also goes for pecs and shoulders/backs. Dehydration only makes your arms look veiny unless you're like, actual bodybuilder day of competition.

    I was just thinking that. Not trying to toot my own horn but I look pretty damn close to him. I started working out/lifting seriously in 2012.

    Now you have to be the Chris Hemsworth performance enhancing actor generation to be "huge." He wouldn't be considered shit nowadays, but back then you could just be dedicated and shredded. Now you have to be on gear too.

    Soon, not even roids will be enough. No human will be able to compete with AI perfection, and at best they'll just use people to record reference footage or something.
