NMMR: Muscle size poll -- kind of an XP from H&F

There was a poll on muscle size on Health & Fitness.  I'd be interested to see how the answers here compare to the answers from the H&F crowd.

What do you think of her body?

Probably a smidge bigger muscles than I'd want, but her body is pretty much amazeballs.

Obviously she's super fit, but her arms are a bit TOO toned, IMO.

Agree.  I don't want to look as manly as my husband but I wouldn't be complaining if I looked like that.

Manly. This type of look is NMS and not something I'd strive to achieve.

I think she looks great.  Maybe a bit too muscly, but I would still rather have her body than my own.

I wouldn't complain if I were to wake up with this body. To get picky, I think dude biceps on a chick are weird and gross.

I'm with you -- she definitely should be proud of it, but it is definitely bulkier/more manly than I'd want to be.

Much too muscular for me.  I can appreciate a well toned athletic body, but this is just too bulky for me.

I think her body is perfect.

If my SO didn't like me being more fit/cut than they are, they better step up their game!

She looks exactly how I would want to look - and I am so far.  So, so far.  Crying

A little too built up for my tastes.  If I put her and me together and split it down the middle I would look great though.

Honestly, it is her chest and stomach that are too cut for my taste, I don't think her arms are bad.  So, no, I wouldn't strive for this body.

Too bulky/masculine, both in her arms and her midsection. 

The photo count the stars posted is a nice amount of muscle.  Definitely toned but not so bulky.  She's still slim and has a waist. Although maybe still a bit too much definition - maybe 20% less would be perfect.  And the saddest part is, I could probably attain something close to that.  I have the time, and access to the proper equipment.  I just don't do it.  Sad.

I think the original pic is a smidge too buff. The above pic would be perfect for me.

this.  DH prefers a "softer" look (his words).  I would LOVE to be that cut. She looks amazing!

This is much more in line with what I'd like to look like.

Ditto Kore, it's NMS. For me personally, I just want to be fit and a little bit toned to be happy. Thank goodness my DH likes me a little bit thick and juicy. This is part of the reason why I love him. Lol.

I think she looks super fit, but I wouldn't want to look like that.  I like my curves.  I'd like to be a tad more toned, but that would be too much for me.

I think she looks great. I can't imagine what kind of gym time that would take. I have some VERY fit/strong friends and they're not that cut.

I would prefer something like this. I'm not a big fan of big muscles.

I agree, a little too much bulk for me. I feel like women who are really muscular somehow lose their curves? Start to look more square. I would love to be thinner than I am, but without losing curves and 'softness'.
