You dont think a guy who can deadlift 500+ will look more muscular/ripped than a guy who deadlifts 350?

Yah but if ripped skinny guys are getting more 20yo poontang then wtf does Rip know

Nowadays the opposite is probably true

why?

yeah lol.

Well at least for usefulness as far as physical labor goes endurance>strength in most cases. And for being harder to kill I think you'd probably just wanna run away/be a small target!

Did you miss the past 20 years? The nerds and geeks took over the world and if they needed a tough guy, they hired one.

I'm fairly sure strong people are less likely to die in car crashes/accidents etc, more likely to survive chemotherapy and hence cancer etc etc. We aren't talking about some sort of Arnold in the jungle vs Predator ****. They are also more likely to continue to be mobile and active into their old age and not get osteoporosis etc.

What if he put 300lbs on his total and kicks ass in his rec league?

I disagree. Strength is more useful than endurance ainec imo.

like 100% of women i know find jim thome's body more attractive than lance armstrong's or ryan reynolds' (not that reynolds isn't prettier in the face)

WAT

i'll admit i picked that name out of thin air to illustrate a point. i'm fairly confident it's accurate though. if you put jim thome's head on ryan reynolds' weakling body i'm pretty sure he'd look worse than the real jim thome

what the **** when did ryan reynolds get gigantic in an attempt to ruin all of my internet arguments.

yeah i'm probably wrong on this one.

reynolds has been a swole sexy mofo for a few years now. women want him, men want to be him.

jdock,

eat less and do some assistance work for hypertrophy. ez game.

CHICKS DIG THE LONG BALL

You're missing the point. This is the line that jdock should have used imo.

facepalm

double facepalm

why cant the nerds and geeks be strong too?

lol

the fraction gets smaller as the range of motion decreases. a 3/4 squat is deeper than a 1/2 squat. think about it.

I was validated the other day when I saw a good friend that who I haven't seen in around a year and he's like 'wtf man. you're hy000g. what have you been doing?". He was genuinely shocked/impressed. I obviously responded "lifting heavy sh*t and drinking milk".

The bit that I found interesting was next he asked me "nah, seriously. Are you going to the gym or something?" (if he wasn't a friend I probably would have gone into full troll mode at this point) and I'm like "Yeah, 4 or 5 times a week" and which point he had this look like "Meh. That sounds too hard. If it was going to be easier I might ask more questions"

I vaguely remember reading something about kilgore doing a study that stronger people survived cancer more often, or recovered better or some sh*t like that.

He obv meant that she was stopping at 3/4 height or whatever.

my post was specifically in in the context of jdock's dichotomy of being chubby and stronger or ripped and weaker. i am aware it is possible to be strong and ripped too.

i think american women have a stronger preference for bigger dudes than euro women if the comment about 100% of women polled preferring that jim thome dude contains any truth.

I think (most) women are idiots when it comes to lust and they don't know what they want.

lol thank you.

I think ryan reynolds got all jacked recently because he's gonna be in the Deadpool movie (thats the rumor at least). Maybe not the reason he's jacked, but I'm sure it helps.

rr was jacked for the smokin aces movie iirc

he's the green lantern
