No he’s not. It’s because he’s natural. he’s got a great set of traps tho.

FuturePundit: Muscular Men Get More Sex
Frederick and Haselton lead a team that photographed 99 male undergraduates. A panel of independent judges rated the young men on a nine-point scale, with “1” being much less muscular than average and “9” being much more muscular than average. The researchers then asked the men about their sexual histories.
When compared with their less-muscular peers, young men who were more muscular than average were twice as likely to have had more than three sex partners in their lives.
In another study, Frederick and Haselton asked 120 undergraduate males to rate their own physiques on the same scale and then asked them about their sexual histories.
The self-identified muscular men had not only had more sexual partners than their less burly peers, but they were twice as likely to have had brief flings or one-night stands with women. The difference in the number of sexual partners reported by the men who were more muscular than average was also notable: They reported having had an average of four partners, compared with an average of 1.5 partners for men who reported average or below-average muscularity.
In a similar study, Frederick and Haselton asked 60 undergraduate males an additional question: How many affairs had they had with women who already had a boyfriend at the time of the affair? Muscularity mattered here as well. The more muscular individuals were twice as likely as their less well-built peers to have hooked up with someone else’s sweetheart.
…
Interestingly, women in the study seemed to be on to muscular men. When presented with six standardized silhouettes of men ranging from brawny to slender, 141 undergraduate women consistently identified the most muscular ones as not only less likely to commit but also more volatile and domineering. In the study, the women rated “toned” guys - the physical type two notches down from “brawny” - as the most sexually attractive.
“Moderate muscularity demonstrates that men are in good condition, but they’re not so overloaded with testosterone that they are volatile, aggressive and dominant,” Frederick said. “Just based on their experiences, women seem to be able to weigh good and bad male traits.”
Still, in a study by Frederick and Haselton of 82 college coeds, most women reported that their short-term partners were more muscular than their long-term ones. They characterized their long-term - and presumably less muscular - partners as more trustworthy and romantic than their one-night stands or brief affairs.
well i love this post… because 3/4 of it i would completely agree on! 
i have been weight lifting for 3 years now. (i would do it religiously for months at a time until football came in and disrupted it) but when i started i was a small guy really scrawny not knowing how to lift or really do anything (but i wanted to play football so i knew i needed to get bigger) started at 5"10 145lbs bench@75 squat@155 pwrclean@65. i found an asshole of a trainer in the schools gym that was a mammoth guy… he was about 6"6 probably close to 300 of just straight muscle he seemed kinda bi-polar too… but anyways after i lifted with him all my weights went up about 100 lbs each he taught me what dedication was all about and i gained the self confidence i needed. if i wouldn’t have done all that work (which i was doing for football) i wouldn’t be the person i was today. (today im about 6"0 180lbs bench @225 squat@ 350 pwrclean@ 225 srry, not trying to showoff but im just showing my results to support my opinion. thnx god they rn’t that good anyways, shouldn’t have done football and i would have been farther along >_< ). so now i force myself 5 days a week to go to the gym at 5 in the mourning (b4 a big crowd of ppl r there )
ok what i don’t really agree with is that muscles are not everything my mammoth trainer i told u about, he is still single to this day (probably because he is kinda bi-polar ) but muscles are not everything. many girls don’t like to see that kinda guy. from the ones ive talked to they would just like a guy in shape. A guy that has better looks than bigger muscles.
So in reality it isn’t critical to be huge. but its a nice touch. it shows u r dedicated to something, u want to make yourself more appealing (which is what mother nature intended or we wouldn’t be a species any longer ), probably the greatest things it gives u are a self confidence that u like yourself and that your actively doing something.
Feel this thread needs to be bumped
I personally find Steve Reeve’s physique to be of a perfect ratio. Not too big or too small.

As pertinent an article (and thread) as ever. But also a bit frustrating to read, as I haven’t been able to work out for quite a while. Good stuff, though.
On another note, it’s hard to believe that Matador is 6’2". He looks about 5’11" in every photo I’ve ever seen…
Yeah when I read that I was like Holy Moly, but if you think about it Mystery is like what 6’7" which makes sense when they are standing next to each other.
Right, that’s true. Probably around 6’7" in boots. Didn’t take into account his footwear, which is usually of the Gene Simmons variety. lol
As for his normal height, though, he’s stated 6’4" and 6’5" on different occasions.
I think it’s all about muscle quality. Having a low BF% with a reasonable amount of muscle helps a lot more than a lot of muscle with high bf%.
I’ve seen some massive guys being called fat when they were not fat, but had a lot of muscle and about 12% fat, which is not excellent, but it’s ok.
I started working out again 6 months ago at 187lbs, and haven’t gained that much, but people really noticed and started asking me if I was taking steroids because I dramatically changed my body by dropping the BF from 17% to about 11% now at 190lbs. So the little muscle (11lbs of lean mass) I gained looks pretty good, specially abs.
11 lbs. is not a little amount. I’d practically sell my nuts to be able to gain that much muscle right now.
I managed to shed 15lbs. I like the weight that I’m at now, but would like to drop the bodyfat percentage. Only problem for me is diet. It’s difficult to do the 6 small meals a day of chicken breast and brown rice.
Cant really call him out on it. In my eyes you cant get to big… lol i mean yeah you might look stupid as crap but really… whos gonna call you out on it? hehe
The hot girls laughing behind your back.
thats not really calling you out on it
but i was just joking anyways yeah being to big is nasty but then you can be to small too
Not necessarily but word of mouth gets around which could be worse.
