Don't mention Chinese! They just opened a new Chinese takeout place where I live that is freaking awesome...But enough about that!

I put to get straight up big! I have always been a really thin guy, but now I am getting close to breaking the 200lb mark!

Cause I like confusing people by being big and smart at the same time

Or I just like the challenge I guess. The uber sexyness is just a welcome byproduct of it

Yup, that's the way to go. Especially cause I'm in the canadian armed forces. (All you americans don't go and make fun of me...)

First it was to get in shape but since getting in shape I am onto the next thing as in trying to achieve a little more size in certain areas. I wonder if there ever will be an end to what I want to achieve in this "business".

I couldn't really choose one. My lifting supports my health, my chosen past-time (backpacking) and keeps me looking good for my age. I've been lifting so long that it's a way of life for me.

Hey TG

Do you remember or know who Bolo Yeung is?
Because he was a bis ass mofo, had one of the hugest chests I have ever seen on a martial artists. I believe he is a master of Tai-Chi? But I do know he was at one time a bodybuilder.
So it show's you can get big and still be successful.

Here he is in Bloodsport



And with master Lee

I found his website, he's still alive, like 68 yrs old.

His chest was awesome. It was weird though how far down it went, very huge

That guy is big, but always looked a little smooth to me...Bloodsport is a killer flick though...

Whoa, I just checked and he was 50 when he shot Bloodsport!

Bolo was a beast! and he was even smaller than Bruce lol. He's starring in a film with David Carradine (currently in filming) called Blizhny Boy: Final Fight. Around 68 now but still in good shape.

Ya, his chest is huge. my roomate walked in while i was watching the movie and says..."woah, those are the biggest chunks of musle i have ever seen on an asian"

but ya, good movie


anyways, about the poll. Well i started lifting when i was way fat at like 260...so my immediate goal was not to get big, i promise. I just wanted to feel better. but now, i am down to like 228 and wouldnt midn starting to get bigger again but with just muscle. I also like being more attractive. And being more athletic. I think have more than just 1 motivation, i think most people prolly like all asects of getting in shape.

I started for strength.

I didnt even think of it as getting big or looking good.

But then people started noticing alot, then I realized that I was indeed getting bigger and looking alot better with my shirt off.

Now its for strength and looks.

Not really to get big, but to be noticably jacked and stronger than most. I think if i got too big Id look like an oaf.
