I saw this a chart on another forum, and thought it might make for an interesting poll:

http://carlrules.com/images/fit-modes.jpg

I changed the chart a bit, using a better example of "built". The original guy was pretty much the same as "bodybuilder" just not as absurd.

I also found a better version of "builtfat" - me! :lol That pic is from a while ago, I have gained about 5-10 lbs of fat since then ('Tis the season to be carby!). I basically look the same, but with a big gut :lol

My goal would be basically what I am now, but bigger and leaner. Not as big as the 'built' guy, and not as lean, but better than I am now.

i think i am builtfat. 5'9 208lbs.......

Wanna move towards built by end of new years...

[CorneringArtist]

I'm 6'2 270 lbs, in between builtfat and fat. And I'm Asian/Pacific Islander. I wanna start lifting weights to get down more towards builtfat in time for rugby in spring.

[RRxtar]

6' 178lbs

sort of the same shape as the swimmer up there with more meat and not as lean. not as big as the cut/athletic guy.

id say 60% athletic, 25% swimmer, 15% builtfat... based on those pics.

[Vangruver]

yikes.

That chart makes me swimmer/biker esque.

I want to be a wee bit more cut though.

[liu13]

that 8 pack is insane

[jeffh]

SKINNY!!!!11

[SkinnyPupp]

Good to see that people are being honest in the poll ;)

[hal0g0dv2]

who is the body builder ?

[SkinnyPupp]

who is the body builder ?
I wonder ;)

[fishing666]

i have about same bf as the built dude without the huge pecs

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

cut atheletic but i don't have those crazy abs.i wanna be built but those pecs on that built guy are fucking ginormous.

[SkinnyPupp]

If you guys can find better examples, I'm happy to update the chart

[mc25]

builtfat ftw…by spring, hopefully lean up some mo, while gaining muscle mass.

[maxxxboost]

5'11 175lbs of built fat

[Volvo-brickster]

who is the body builder ?

looks like Jay Cutler, but I may be wrong.

[Leopold Stotch]

5 10
165lbs
fat skinny

not as skinny nor as fat as the guy in the pic. but definitely in the worst shape of my life

[JSilver]

Cut/Athletic but I'm kinda leaning to being built. I guess I'm sorta getting there.

5'7" @ 150lbs of 75% Cut/Athletic + 25% Built

[SkinnyPupp]

at 150 lbs, it's going to be tough to be "built" like that! ;)

Are you exaggerating your height perhaps? ;)

[JSilver]

Haha nope I'm 5'7". I guess I'm viewing "built" in a different perspective.

I'm trying! :cry:

[Alpine50]

i'd say about built fat, not to bad tho

goal is to get built, bring my weight up from 165 to 180

[jeffh]

^ you must be short to be built fat at 165?

[liu13]

i'm 160 and 5'9, built fat is that short?

[SkinnyPupp]

Sounds more skinnyfat to me. Or just skinny ;)

[jeffh]

yeah i roll 162-3 at 511 and im SKINNY fo sho

[7seven]

Going by those pics, I'm probably closest to the built category picture. My traps, arms, abs are similar but my chest isn't as big as the guy in that picture.

I'm 5'10, 195lbs.

[SkinnyPupp]

I don't really know how much better I can get with my current gym situation. Problem is, the nearest "proper" gym to me is far away and pretty damn expensive :(

[The Weejun]

Sounds more skinnyfat to me. Or just skinny ;)

I don't know him so I can't say for sure, but I think we should also take into consideration a person's frame (a good indicator would be the thickness of your wrists). For example, a guy who is of medium height and ~170 lbs may be skinny, athletic, or even built depending on whether he has a large, medium or small frame. To pack 170 lbs onto a small frame is a lot of muscle but with a large frame, that person really doesn't have a whole lot of muscle mass, just big bones. I hope I'm making sense here.

I'm between a swimmers and a cut/athletic (voted for swimmers though). Although, I think if I was pumped from exercise (as the gymnast guy is) and also oiled myself up real good, I could pass for cut/athletic haha.

[Brianrietta]

I'm somewhere inbetween builtfat and fat, with aspirations of bearmode. The last year or so I've been gravitating more towards fat, but nowhere nearly as bad as that fat dude.

[SkinnyPupp]

Yeah I should definitely change the "fat" example, that is just overdone. I could use my own pic from a few years ago for that as well! :lol

[Wykydtron]

I'm builtfat. I would idealy like something between built, and strongfat.

[buddy]

skinny, want to be bodybuilder ...

[ShadowBun]

6'3 185lbs i would say im buildfat according to your pictures

[Gh0stRider]

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

183lbs, trying to get to 200lbs

[Abstraktz]

I'd say I'm cut/athletic 5'11, 165lbs...nowhere near as cut as the guy in the pic tho lol

[Kamui712]

125lbs trying to get back to 115 ish

[RacePace]

125lbs trying to get back to 115 ish

weight alone doesn't really paint a picture

[Kamui712]

5'4ish and 125lbs

for some ppl that's already skinny/normal, but for me I'd like to have a little less weight when I'm playing sports.

[Gh0stRider]
