    Keys to your buff look...

    hey yo. what do you guys think are the keys to looking buff? i personally think having huge traps and a wide back are the key ingredients. not to mention, good fitting clothes. what's everyone's opinion on this?

    I seem to get the most compliments on my chest. Even though its not well defined, with a shirt on it stands out quite a bit and people notice it. I also agree that back, both traps and lats, are vital for that "huge" look.

    Steak is always key.

    I agree traps and back are key to lookin good in a tight shirt, along with chest.

    I'd have to go with a wide back, big traps and delts, and quads.

    You can have a big waist (as I do) and not have it really be noticed because of the size of your legs and width of your shoulders.

    Definitely big lats and delts, plus a narrow waist. If you have huge traps, everything else better be big too, or you'll look ridiculous, and not in a good way.


    EDIT: Can't believe I forgot this the first time around, but being cut is important, too. Even if you're very muscular, people won't consider you "buff" if you're 30% bodyfat.

    I dont know bro I got big legs ,big traps and shoulders but a little bit of a gut and my buds that are cut pretty good always get mad because people ask me if I lift .

    I am bigger but they are more cut , bottom line though , I get more chicks .

    Yes and no... clothes can hide a lot; I know dudes that look pretty good in a shirt that are shockingly flab-u-lous when you see what's under the shirt

    My take on the keys to looking buff?

    1) Be big.
    2) See #1.

    True. I definitely look a lot better with a shirt on right now... I guess I always think of "buff" as being how you look without a shirt.
