its funny to me when newer guys who are trying to figure out their place in bodybuilding go by the scale as the gold measurement of success. first question i often get from younger guys is....well...the first is usually "how much do you bench?" lol, but that is often followed by "how much do you weigh?". i'm not the biggest guy, but i do have what i would consider a moderate level of development and in the past, i have had no problem being honest and telling them what i weigh. after i do, i usually am given a very specific look by the question asker. its a look of hard thought. you can see the gears turning behind their eyes, as they do the math to determine exactly how many pounds they have to gain to be my weight. then, no matter how much taller or fater they are than me, they like to fire back with something along the lines of, "so you're only (insert low number) pounds more than me!" what they're really thinking is " ok so when i gain (insert low number) pounds, i will look like you". they smile and walk away, filled with hope, thinking that all they need to do is run one more cycle and they will be "there" in 2-3months. what they aren't factoring in is muscle maturity. now, i must admit, there was a time that i functioned under the same flawed logic. i suppose many of is do in our early days under the iron. it doesn't take long though...maybe a couple yrs, to start understanding that the scale means very little compared to the mirror or a photo.
heres a beautiful shot of eduardo correa's tricep. he competes in the 202 lb division. yes, he isn't a really tall guy, but his physique is nothing short of amazing.
