Here's another one. Handsome, great skin, mostly a reasonable size, but his arms can't touch the sides of his body.

Maybe he's a space-aged robot.

 

Gigantor, Gigantor, Gigantor.

 

Gigantor the space aged robot,

He is at your command.

Gigantor the space aged robot,

His power is in your hand.

 

Bigger than big, taller than tall,

Quicker than quick, stronger than strong.

Ready to fight for right, against wrong.

 

Gigantor, Gigantor, Gigantor.

How many takes do you think they had to do before the 'instructor' could get through the whole thing without accidentally brushing his finger (slowly) against the model?

Take a look at Matt Lowden pictures from a while ago.  they're the ones at the top of the webpage.  A really nice dancer's body, great muscles with long legs, flat abs and a butt that make my mouth hard.

Look down lower on the page and you'll see him get more muscles and starting to look just too big.

Back in the days when DC had stripper bars (Wet, Secrets, La Cage, etc.), as well as the Follies theater with its Sunday burlesque shows, there were some performers who started out with beautiful, well-and reasonably-proportioned physiques. Some kept them for all the time I knew them, but some were very much into bodybuilding and competitions. In their "off' seasons (between competitions) their regimens apparently included bulking-up, adding as much a 50 or 75 pounds to their already big bodies. These young men seemed to like the look this gave them, but to me, it almost seemed like a case of body dysmorphia, where their perception of their physical appearance was a distortion of reality, like a woman weighing 80 pounds but who compulsively diets.

I never asked any about why they traded their previous gorgeously proportioned bodies for ones approaching something almost bizarrely un-proportioned. I doubted they would even recognize the question - and they were bigger than me; didn't know how they might accept constructive criticism.

Of course, beauty is a perception, subject to individual tastes and preferences. But there were several transformations that were really quite shocking.

The aforementioned Stu may be becoming a case in point, I am sad to both see and say.

Beautifully put @wsc.
 

I recall that there was a study done in the UK (in the years 1998-2000) which found that young gay men suffered from body dysmorphia at the same rate as young women with eating disorders.

FWIW I had a passionate relationship with a young Brazilian model in Europe for 3 years. We went to Madrid in 2005 to join the celebration of gay marriage equality being introduced. The model had introduced me about 6 months earlier to a muscled friend of his (also Brazilian) who was a popular escort in London. We stayed in a very good Madrid hotel where one morning we saw the escort (and a 2nd escort) accompanying a squat businessman to breakfast. The escort had mushroomed in size. The model told me his friend was unhappy about his earlier shape and, feeling escorting was very competitive, had decided to get bigger and was taking steroids. Alas he bought cheap Chinese oral steroids; he developed throat cancer and he returned home to his family in Brazil where he died a few months later.

It IS body dysmorphia. It's becoming a big problem with young gay men who spend too much time looking at Instagram pictures of body builders, leaving them with the impression that bigger is better.

Sadly that is rarely the case.

I've seen several handsome young specimens at my own gym go from a beauty worthy of a Greek Statue so something out of a Marvel Comic book . Very sad to watch.

In my early 30s my quads were about as muscular as quads can be without steroids (they weren't competition level beautiful of course) .  And one day, or over a few months I guess, I realized it was just awful.  Not worth it.  Even following a HardGainer routine where I'd only lift weights, at highest intensity, twice a week, I still felt physically sick for days after a squat session, and I did in my 20s as well.  Steroids would have improved the speed of my recovery, but I wasn't willing.  

As beautiful as they were, and you can look at the archives of rodhagen.com to see them, and as proud of them as I was, I feel like I lost out on a lot of pleasure in my life by working so hard on them for so long.  Lots of  mountain biking days and snowboard days and rock climbing days and swimming days and surfing days were denied to me because I was simply too sore. 

Nothing I can do about that now.

I've got a feeling Kyle Hynick muscles are going to get as big as a Macy's balloon one day.
