How should your bodybuilder look?

claygrant · #1 March 13th, 2003, 01:51 AM

So what enhances or detracts from muscles for you?

msclrough · #2 March 13th, 2003, 07:52 AM

Man, I'm always in the minority! Where are you RPJ?! I know you'll back me up with the hairy is best vote.

I also pushed for off season. I like the added bulk.

musclpkg · #3 March 13th, 2003, 02:41 PM

I love smooth, hairless and oiled, laced with thick veins that call out for your tongue...

fleXodus · #4 March 13th, 2003, 02:49 PM

my thoughts exactly -- ripped and veined is what does it for me. Thick, meaty muscle laced with veins... the perfect roadmap for my adoring tongue...

mmm...out of control offseason bulk. still wanna see some freaky veins, but don't care so much about the cuts. hairy or not, doesnt really matter...i like both.

Big.

Beefy.

Built.

Furry.

The last is kind of the icing on the cake. Not really necessary but when it's there, oooh la la.

I'm not necessarily into intense vascularity or shredded, paper think skin. I generally like the pro's best when they're about 20-30 lbs. from contest weight. By that time they're define and muscular but not ripped -- and they haven't gotten that gaunt, concentration camp survivor look around their eyes.

My faves:

Lee Priest @ 247

Dennis James @ 285

Jean-Pierre Fux @ who knows what

Ronnie Coleman

Art Atwood in the offseason.

Yum yum yum.

Be still my beating, uh, well, ya know...

I like them clean- smooth and hairless!

wbhunk · #8 March 16th, 2003, 05:25 PM

I gotta side with RPJ and Rough on this one....muscles and hair, man! Add a shaved head and I...well...<g>

buffdoc · #9 March 28th, 2003, 06:54 PM

Pictures of muscular hairy guys are relatively uncommon and that makes them quite hot.

I went for off-season, but the truth is, I like all these looks; though the "contest-ready" look is my least favorite. Something about shaving, oiling and getting ripped takes away all the individuality for me, making them all look like statues; which is aesthetically appealing, but not sexy.

brent · #11 April 21st, 2003, 10:11 AM

I like BIG guys, so I vote for off season. I've seen fat guys that carry it so well it even turns me on... I like shreaded guys too, but I like someone that looks like they can keep me down with their weight! That's the only reason I watch the WWE. Some hair is nice, so are veins, but I can take them, or leave them. I just want pounds of beef!

RonnieRules · #12 January 24th, 2004, 11:07 AM

I agree. Guys have to be the biggest freaks! Of course they should be shaved, too. And one or the other vein isn't bad but mass is most important.

The Mr O look is the least favourite for me.

I saw this link to a guy , to me it made the case for MUSCLE + HAIR. He's so amazing, with dense muscles , unfettered masculinity and the hair adds to the overall powerful look, so RAW - that does it for me.

So that you can see what I'm talking about, the link is:

There are other photos there, so you can see him from various angles. The mind boggles what he'll look like as he gets bigger.

hottiestudboi · #14 April 18th, 2004, 12:02 AM

huge hairless... like usual bodybuilders offseason.

so hot.

Notbigenuff · #15 May 17th, 2004, 06:34 AM

Love the off-season look as long as the builder hasn't gotten too fat. Big smooth muscles with enough definition for them to be distinct is a great look to me. Hair's okay on the chest--but not on the shoulders or back (he says grabbing the razor...).

caligula · #16 October 25th, 2004, 12:02 AM

I like the Blond, All-American smooth tanned look. Usually Jay Cutler and Craig Titus. Long legs with great striations in the thighs and large diamond calves. These guys look great in the posedowns when they do a rear doublebicep with one leg back showing the calf and exposing dirty feet and the outline of a well defined arch. Also a good side tricep pose and abs.

Digibacker · #17 February 28th, 2005, 05:04 PM

My vote is for the big, off-season look. Hairy or shaven doesn't matter as long as it isn't too much in either direction.

But I definitely prefer the look of large, round muscles in basic groups rather than the chiseled, dehydrated look during a contest. I can understand the appeal for some, but I personally find it looks too sickly. (And in a lot of ways, really isn't all that healthy from what I've heard.)

I'd even go so far to say that I prefer the thick, stocky (but not overly fat) look of some powerlifters and strongmen over bodybuilders. A good example is Ryan Kennelly.

Used to like the shaved body, sharp veins & trim muscular guys when I was 20 years younger. The older I get the bigger and more furry they have to get. Don't want inch thick skin but nice fur on a hard massive body does it for me. Skin thin enough to show a little vein is good but hard snakes look gross. Handsome hard face, bald or close cropped hair, shaved on sides. Bull neck, thick, writhing thighs, somewhat of a roid-gut, massive back, huge meaty pecs and armpits a foot deep. Off-season or a few weeks before a contest. I want a muscle bear with a degree, wit, style & wisdom.

ethernet_jock · #19 February 28th, 2005, 08:31 PM

digi - after looking at that quick site - I could not agree more with you on Ryan Kennelly.... that's EXACTLY how I wanna look.

Also - is that a Pride fighting shirt he's got on? Talk about a man after my heart. Damn.... you know if I was single and gay instead of bisexual and married.... that would be a good one for me. *drool*

blueberryboy · #20 March 1st, 2005, 04:12 AM

Thick, hairless, offseason. Preferably Jay Cutler or Bruce Patterson. Huge muscle with a nice rich thick layer of offseason fat on top just for the added size.

Wouldn't mind that myself.

(On either of us.)

Well, not quite. Seems we're not the only ones with a sense of pride. The monstermuscle.com site has a number of "pride"-themed products for sale. Ryan's wearing their Pride-T. (Oh, and the guy modelling the shirt on mm.com site also has the same kind of build we like.)

ethernet_jock · #22 March 2nd, 2005, 07:42 AM

ahhhhh... so right you are.

Nice!!

Too bad too, there's someone I wouldn't mind fighting and losing to.

Can I hold the camera?
