Muscular or skinny?

[tagutcow]

There's a difference between being skinny and being slender. I could starve myself, but I don't think it would have much of an effect on my waist measurement.

As long as it's veiny, who cares?

11" drop and 12" drops.

I'd say that's fairly muscular.



I always thought that a 6" drop was the standard around which most clothes were made.

very decent.

Are suits that fit in the chest too big in the shoulders for you?

just wondering cos it seems like one could increase chest measurements as pecs and back get bigger, but shoulders would lag behind.

hendrix: yes, you'll find if they fit your chest, they won't fit your shoulders. Pullups help, but not a lot. It is annoying.

Put a shoulder day in, do side/rear lats plus military press. Shoulders will catch up a bit at least.

got a shoulder day in there, for the very reason that i was worried about getting the token gym guy chest with disproportionately small shoulders. what do you mean by side/rear lats? do you mean delts i.e. lateral raise and reverse flys?

 

[aeglus]

pretty much

I agree. If guys with 11-12" drops don't think they look muscular, they either have a high standard for muscularity or are estimating their waist by their marked pant size rather than by tape measure.
