Are you more concerned with building strength or looking better?

[blindside]

for me its a bit different, like i want to look good but i do not want to be bulky. As my sport is cycling and triathlon strength is important but is mainly legs so i want my upper body to look good (i think it does ) but i take training my legs for strength quite passionatly.

I'd love to look good nakid
Working on getting bigger in the chest and trimming the fat from my gut

Slowly getting there, hoping this site and the sister site will help.

Never mind girls, you can probably bench more than me and i'm male :laughing2: Barbell bench is one of my most embarrasing lifts ha.

I'll get there though

Ha! Ha! Ha! All you need is a spotter with strong shoulders, load up 5 plates on each side and you would be the da man!

For me getting stronger=more muscle=looking better.

I voted for strength but I also want to look good naked. But still, strength is my priority. I want to be powerful, do more pull-ups and push-ups, increase my stamina and my lower back strength.

Approching 40 later this year and its definitely how I look for me...There are pro's and cons for this I suppose because on looking at past strong man comps on tv, some seriously strong men look like huge fat b******s.

So whilst they could pull a truck or lift a washing machine repeatedly over their heads, they just look bad!
