Ideal male body type

[Colors]

Definitely ottermode (btw is that an actual term??). Guys that are toned skinny with a nice tan... omg.

I'd put myself around chubbyfat right now. I want to look better, but I don't really have the drive to MAKE myself look better. People constantly tell me I look like I lost weight since I've been at school, but my weight hovers around the same 260-270 mark (I'm 6'5). My BMI tells me I'm into "obese" territory, but I'm not. My stomach isn't gigantic, but I also don't have a crazy amount of muscle mass.

That's me about 2-3 years ago. I've lost maybe 10 pounds since then, but would you say I look "obese"?

Looks like it.

Love how there's no middleground(s) in between skinnyfat and "ottermode" (wtf is that supposed to mean anyway)...

Also, bursting muscles like in this picture, isn't really what I would classify as athletic.

[prwraith]

Athletic all the way.

[Drikkink]

Looks like it.

The shirt also doesn't do me favors, but still.

My idea of "obese" is more like 300+ regardless of height, less if you're really short..

Whats your diet like? How many calories are you taking in?

Id say up to around 2000-2500 per day, but I still need to get an action plan started (counting calories). I eat a lot of junk and have terrible eating scheduled.

I just don't know what exactly to eat. I guess chicken, vegetables, drink lots of water are the golden rules. I gotta put on Mike Dolce videos to get some idea on a good diet.

My workout during week tends to be:

Mon: Run 3.5 miles, 10x2 press ups, 25x2 crunches
Tue: Skip-rope for 15 minutes and the above
Wed: During the day multiple burpee exercises (each one lasts 1 minute right now then few hours break and back into it, usually do around 3-4 sets on Wednesday)
Thurs: Mondays exercise
Fri: Tuesdays exercise
Saturday: I want to get a road bike or maybe a mountain bike (I think road bike would be better but I love going off-road, just no mountains down here in Essex) but otherwise is mainly relaxing day/house cleaning
Sunday: Relax/Light exercise

I heard Ben and Jerrie's are good for bulking (not that I need to right now).

My idea of obese is a BMI over 30 and a body fat over 25%. That's about it.

harsh, lol, some people are just built bigger

Well, my body fat is a little over 20.

I'm just throwing out clinical answers to a question you asked, not trying to be a dick. I'm fairly sure a BMI of 30 and body fat over 25% is the accepted definition of obese. If you fit that, you're obese. If you don't, you're not.

Bearmode then bodybuilder for me. Bodybuilder needs too much extreme dieting to get ripped and drop body fat to low levels (hough that's usually for competitions) rest of the time they are close to bearmode anyway.

My BMI fits the "obese" range (32), but my body fat is around 21.5%

[BrerBear]

Bearmode for the win. Needs more body hair though, or it's not really a "bear".
I've found "builtfat" and "chubbyfat" to be pretty great, depending on the guy, though.

Isn't it nice that there's a fan of just about every type? Does the soul good.

[tychicus]

this thread should have a poll


and builtfat mmmmmm

I'd get a caliper or something similar and measure your body fat percentage. It's fine if you're content with what you look like, but keep in mind that there are typically health risks associated with higher body fat %, usually due to diet and lack of exercise...I'd say that you look like you need to tone up a bit, something that will probably happen naturally if you try to clean up your diet and incorporate some form of physical activity into your life.

health > everything else

And you have some nice curly hair

[Powerogue]

Probably somewhere between Ottermod and Skinnyfat?

Just judging as a heterosexual male. Those gigantic muscles on either gender just look more like the Hulk and less like a human after a certain point.

[Clone]

Somewhere between athletic and built.

My husbando's, glorious 2D perfection. Plus penis worms as an added bonus.
