I would make the choice I made in highschool again. Strength and muscle bulk over shredded and weak. Gym strength, while impressive does not always carry over to real world needs. I know guys who could out bench me easily. However when I was working certain jobs, such as delivering hot tubs, I found my strength was much more functional. I could lift 3 times as much, and do it for longer.

I would drop the appetite when I stopped working out though. If i had it to do all over again.

Shredded and weak. What the hell does the average adult need to be strong for?

Far from shredded. Far from weak.

Carrying a keg in college was a panty dropper.

I have to say - I don't know anyone who looks shredded that couldn't do 10+ pull ups and rep his own weight on bench. Most guys I know who look ripped really are pretty damn strong for their weight. They might do a few vanity curls, but otherwise, the shite that gets you strong is often times the stuff that gets you ripped.

Given the choice, though - shredded and weak over ripped and strong.

I'm going with strong and no definition.
When I cut down for a show, I feel puny.
Love the offseason when I have the thick muscle

Grab with the right hand, a few bags of ice in the left to balance out, walk in and hand it off two two guys to drop in the trash can, watch the struggle.

The girls all noticed. Can't say my bed was ever cold on those nights.

Genetics has so much more to do with this than anything. This is a dumb thread.

The guys who are ripped but weak are stronger than they were before they started working out.

Everybody knows the linemen in high school who could move insane weight. It's not because they put more time in the weight room than the rest of the team.

Guys who are naturally strong can be strong and "no muscle definition" or work at it and be stronger and leaner.

There's guys who are skinny as frick and weak can work at it and get not quite so skinny and a little stronger, but there's still gonna be guys out there that don't do dick as far as working out and can move more weight.

And there's everyone in between.

It takes a lot more work and discipline though for the average guy in between to get ripped than it does for the average guy to get strong.

I'm 6'0 190 lbs and have worked in construction, pipe yards, and warehouses before getting behind a desk.

Have I lost some definition since I stopped manual labor? Yes, but I don't need it anymore.

Not at all. I rarely post on this board and rarely call anyone out on any board. I just found your story to be hilarious

I agree. Seems like something that semi fat dude in a backwards hat that never stopped wearing his letterman jacket would say.

shite it takes a lot more work for anyone who isn't naturally super thin to get ripped than to get stronger.

I'm a skinny frick and I still have an easier time moving up on weights than I do keeping myself from having to buy bigger pants in the process.

It isnt the keg itself. It is ability to do so. Many women still have the need for protection and when they see strength from a man they are naturally drawn to it. It is why you see so many tiny women with big dudes.

I seriously doubt many women or attracted to a fat guy carrying a keg unless they are an alcoholic.
