**moorey** · 05-28-2007, 04:26 PM

HIYA, IM NEW TO THE FORUM, IM AN OLDER GUY WHO REMEMBERS LOOKING AT GUYS LIKE LEE LABRADA AND THINKING THIS IS A PHYSIQUE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EMULATE. ON A PERSONAL LEVEL WHAT DO OTHER MEMBERS FEEL ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF TODAYS DENSE PHYSIQUES WITH DISTENDED STOMACHS AGAINST THE SYMETRICAL GUYS SUCH AS GASPARI, HANEY OR COLUMBO

Most of today's top bb's don't even want to be that big. I don't like it. I like guys like Arnold and Zane.

I discovered bodybuilding from a Flex magazine cover.

what brought me to the world of bodybuilding was a picture of franco columbo. as i am a shorter bloke i get real inspiration from people like him as he managed to build a great balanced physique even though height was not on his side. He has one of the best physiques of all time in my opinion

i came to it because i like learning and seeing change in my body and spirit i feel better on a day i worked out on and crappy on a day i didnt and yeah i would love to have a "bodybuilder body" but just seeing improvements are good enough for now

(here to learn)

Me and my gf breaking up, we were together for 3 years so I had alot of stuff built up into me and the gym let me take it out on the weights.

i got picked on a lot. so i asked my dad to train me and he did. after that, it just went uphill ever since.
I was about 16. i'm now 19
