I won’t be answering the question as the OP was hoping, but I do want to share an important piece of information with many of those who have …
The majority of these photos (numbers 1-8) are supposedly of the same guy. Yes, I wish I had a cite, but I don’t. Maybe dgrdfd can provide one. All’s I know is that this is not just a random collection of bodies, it is a photo journal of one guy’s bodybuilding progress. I have seen them before on a training site in the exact same order. The first four photos all look like the same guy, and the last four look like another guy, but if it’s all one man as is claimed, then the transformation after the fourth photo is remarkable. He even appears to be completely waxed later on, as he is without body hair, but this is supposedly because he really got into bodybuilding and the transformation became a snowball effect. I wanted to think it was all a hoax, but haven’t been able to find any evidence to prove it. Wish I could remember the guy’s name.
Sounds to me like the OP saw this guy’s site and is considering adopting his training regimen and would just like to know where he can stop before he ruptures a vein in his attempt to impress the ladies.

I had to do a sanity check. Brad Pitt is over 40. If my math is right, he’s 43.
Which makes me snicker again about some poster a few months ago who was horrified at the idea of seeing a man over 40 years old wearing shorts.

He is Jeremy Likness. His photographic journey “by stage” of his getting leaner, then bulkier as he developed an interest in bodybuilding is documented on several websites, including this one that he runs.
11! 11 unquestionably! 11 forever and ever!
Bigger pecks, tho. A six-pack is alright, but a small stomach is perfectly hot. FWIW I’m in the college age-d range.
Speaking as a guy who’s worked out regularly for many years, comparing 10 and 11 remind me of the reason I think a lot of guys go in for developing oversized chests and arms: it’s easier than getting a six-pack by far!!

So, dgrdfd, now that there seems to be a consensus, what do you plan to do with the info?
[/QUOTE]
I plan to keep lifting to get bigger and fitter. I would ideally like to be about a 7. I am by no means too big now at 6’2 and about 210 pounds (or am I? ). It’s what I like, and I will just have to find a woman who also likes that type of a physique.
I am honestly really shocked at the responses though. As a guy, number 11 looks diseased or malnourished to me. Who is going to club the Woolly Mammoth to death and bring food back to the cave for you and the family? Sure won’t be him.

The first 8 are indeed of the same guy. robardin has the website correct. I then threw the final three for a slightly larger sample size. Number 11 was a complete afterthought and didn’t even think he would be in the running. Goes to show what I know.

Actually, kind of. I just train how I want. I am not necessarily following his plan or anything, but I kind of would like to know of where a good place to stop is.
Thanks for answering everyone. Please keep them coming if you haven’t responded yet. And ladies feel free to assemble pictures of hot ladies for us to judge!

Abs are made in the kitchen and not the gym. Big arms and chest requires maybe an hour a day. A six pack requires discipline all the time.

I am into weightlifting (possibly beginning bodybuilding), and I often times hear of how some ladies are put off by guys who get too much muscle or lose too much of their body fat. I found these pictures on the internet (so they aren’t of me). I am curious about which one you prefer. Please try to ignore things like tan, amount of body hair, perceived height. Also I realize that personality, etc. are important, but assume all things are equal. Which number would you prefer:
This thread is actually kind of funny. You know how when you were little and your parents told you Santa or the Easter Bunny wasn’t real? Everything you believe to be true suddenly turned upside down. This thread is kind of like that. I just figured that virtually everyone would choose a 6 through 10.
Straight male, so I don’t have a vote. But before I started reading the responses, I said to myself that 11 would win because he looks fit without looking like he spends too much time in the gym-- just like a lot of the ladies said. He’s got muscles from being active, not obsessive.
The number nine picture, I swear, is a friend of mine. Looks exactly like him, shorts and all.
Now on to the real question: If you threw these guys into a steel cage and told them to fight WWE-style, who would win?
2 and maybe 4. Although I find the harry nipple-ring alarming, I like a bit of belly on my Mr. 4 looks like he might have a bit of squish to pull in and the arm-flex looks like it might be a bit of a jokey posture, so I don’t get the “ick, bodybuilder mentality” feeling. 10 is okay but a little too muscle-y for my tastes, and 11 is the only one who looks fit and healthy rather than icky-bodybuilder-low-bodyfat-percentage.
Another vote for numbers 7 and 11. They look the most naturally fit. Trust us, guys, there is something inherently unappealing about bulking up. It makes you look either vain or violent.
Just turned 40, and I’ve never had a guy whose body was that good, though hubby did come close to 11 when we were young. But those are the types I want to stare at longest.
Fine. Then I’ll take half naked photos of myself, spread Crisco over myself and launch myself down a Slip-n-Slide.
Shit, if that’s NOT a website already, it sure should be.
). It’s what I like, and I will just have to find a woman who also likes that type of a physique.
