Muscle Theft

[Pyro2k]

If you had a single opportunity in life to drain a bodybuilder of as much muscle as you wanted, how much would you take?

[inm]

build myself or nothing.

[xythan_shadow]

As much as I would love to look like any of the pros, it's not in me to do it. Now, if I could copy their physique without damaging them, sign me up!

[MonsterMash62]

Given that this is fantasy anything, I wonder if the answers would change if no one else (including the victim) knew about the theft.

I might steal a lot in that case.

[Semigloss]

What a fun idea. I'm very sure that I wouldn't be able to resist taking everything, whether he knew I was doing it or not. After all, there wouldn't be much he could do about it once I'd done it, (especially if I turned him into a stick-figure), and this is a one-time only chance.

[cutlerfan]

I guess it would depend on his attitude. If he was nice to me I wouldn't steal any without his permission. If he was an ass..well...welcome to life as a stickboy my friend! I doubt I would know how to stop the theft the first time anyway so I would hope I could master the ability and one day return what I took plus interest! Might make a good story; steal muscle from arrogant jerks and give it to nice guys! I would never make it impossible for them to gain their muscle back.

I voted take a lot because he could gain it back. To me, this choice was worded to be beneficial to both of us. I get instant gratification, he gets mad and grows back at an alarming rate and passes me. No harm done!

[falseyedee]

i voted take a lot, but leave enough for him to grow back...then, hopefully, i could take more in the future, sort of like harvesting muscle!

[hallolujah]

I guess if the guy was a douchebag I would entertain the thought of muscle theft but I just couldn't do it otherwise. Sure I'd have the body of my dreams but I'd feel too guilty.

Especially since I started seriously lifting myself, I've only become too aware of how hard it is to make gains. For a serious bodybuilder to get to his size, he's had to put in years and years of effort. I'd feel too guilty if I just took that away from him. Honestly, it'd be ruining his life, which is why I normally dislike the muscle theft trope (although I confess, it CAN be done well).

Besides, I'd want to get big on my own terms. What's the point in having it if you can't look at yourself and say "I did this, not anybody else."

[Wild]

Because you could make your pecs dance. Television has shown this to be very amusing.

Absolutely! Building muscle is hard work, but it is an absolute accomplishment! There's no "grading on a curve" here! Unless you count extreme close ups and shots from below, and fiddling around with special lenses to make you look more cut and striated...etc. etc.

Why are there so few Muscle Theft pictures and videos? I love Muscle Theft, but I need Pics or Vids and don't mere storys.

[Xyggurat]

Easily one of the most eloquent arguments for or against muscle theft, 1ft5cfad. I commend you.
