Men: Would you rather be small and Shredded or Hench?

[Drago]

Its one of these modern trendy made up words, like smartphone or Brexit.

 

[vickster]

I'd rather have more than half a brain and some intelligence than either of those two options in particular

 

[vickster]

Hench? What sort of word is that?

I think it means being like Lurch from the Addams family. Nobber speak for Neanderthal

 

[classic33]

Oh goody, that means I'm hench. Or at least I was once.

I once acquired the nickname Lurch.

I'm not saying what my nickname was once.

Lets leave the Irish out of this

Got to be 1). Power to weight ratio to die for and leave the Hench men for dead on the hills,

Except, strangely, I'm a good climber. Never been quick, but I'm indefatigable on a gradient. You'll be out of glycogen long before I'm tired or bored.

Assuming you had two options.

1) Be a couple stone lighter then your normal, looking smaller, not as broad, smaller chest, arms, shoulders etc and when walking along the street probably looking kinda average. But under your clothes absolutely shredded, bulging 6 pac, rippling veins, barely any bodyfat and every muscle defined.

Or

2) A few stone heavier. Lots more muscle but also fat. When walking on road looking hench as hell. Wide, massive chest, big arms etc. The typical person will think theres a man who goes to the gym. BUT without clothes on, no ripped, no 6 pac, excess fat obvious.

Shredded.Big lads can't move,when a shredded bloke takes his jacket off the big bloke thinks what have i done.Bruce lee was shredded,is that the type of shredded you mean.

Is that Goredale?

I am and always was...quite slim 10.5 stone, although that couple years off the bike has seen me go up to 11 stone, a bit more a while ago.
I always felt light, lacking body mass, felt quite jealous of heavier, bigger guys.....but, there's a downside to being so big...plenty of big guys I know or have known suffer knee, hip problems etc as they get older, it can work against you as you get older. Look at able bodied guys in their 80s, they're for the most part spritely and slim, there's hope for me yet.
The above is of course a generalisation, but one I have quite consistently noticed.

Yeah, but a big lad like Dave Draper would have simply swatted the bullet aside.

Aye

Found a few flexible friends, left behind, in the wall on the way up.

Sadly, I don't think there are any options for women ☹️

Fat doesn't equate to fit.

Doesn't equate to unfit either .
Similar to drago . It's my beer belly I need to keep an eye on .

It annoys me that having massive shoulders and chest from years of swimming makes getting a suit jacket a proper pain in the Arris.

Burton, Next, M&S John Lewis etc have a weird idea of shape if you can get trousers with a 44 waist but jackets stop at 48 .....

Oh we can order you a 50 .... yeah because I want to not be able to try it on first . Jog on
