three beefy guys

this is such a hot picture. three really beefy guys, graduated in height with different physical attributes. they're all muscular, but different.

the guy in the middle looks the buffest to me. he's got mass. his body is thick with muscle and his arms look ever so slightly too large for the rest of him. i'd bet that he's the alpha male in this group, the leader of the pack.

the taller guy is buff, but his build is more proportional. he looks more conventionally athletic than the other guys. his height is an advantage to his overall look.

the shorter guy looks like he's a relative newcomer to the muscle game. his chest however, looks pretty darned impressive; certainly out of proportion to his arms. i bet if he flashed his pecs he'd get some beads from both his buddies.

personally, i prefer the two shorter guys. there is something more interesting to me about a shorter guy with muscle than a taller guy with muscle. the little guys are compensating for a lack of height by building up muscle. that acknowledgement, however unconscious, of an apparent inadequacy, however real or imagined, is critical.

the smaller guys have something to prove, to the world or themselves. they want to enlarge their presense in the world. they want to be seen and respected. they want the world to see how big and strong they are. they want to be able to dominate bigger men through both the intimidation factor of big muscles, and thru shear strength if it comes to that.
