What is classed as a big chest

Hi

I am just wanting to know what I should be aiming for with my training?

I want to reach a body fat of 12%, was very close around 3 months ago but lost track of my diet and am now working down from about 17% :-(

I know i will look fairly small being 6'3" @ 12%bf as i do not have a lot of muscle mass. However, once i achieve this I will try to bulk up. However, what should I be aiming for?

What are classed as big arms?
Big chest?
Waist size? etc

I do not want to achieve a mass of muscle, just look lean and well toned.

Thanks

Hahahaha. Very good!! Some funny pics there! Any serious answers will be helpful though!!!

Maybe lifting a few of these would be good weight training ;-)

i think 20 inch arms are pretty damn big. i have no clue ab the rest tho. its really how symmetrical you look once you have all the big stuff ya know?

Any ways, I'd say at least a 60 in chest is good

If you just started training, I think it would be good to have strength-related goals, rather than body parts' sizes.. JMO.

a 60 inch chest and 20 inch arms? bloody hell. that's a monster, not big.

and don't worry about measurements, just worry about keeping the waist small and gradually make everything else bigger until you're happy with it.

My chest is 48, I'm 14 years old. I figure 60 is about right

14 with a 48 inch chest? you sure? what do you weigh?  My chest is 48 and I weigh 217 lbs.

pretty close to that a little less.  I will probably put on another10-20 by the end of the year. Started squats and milk last week, so I'm pretty sure it is going to make me put on a lot of weight, and I'm thinking too fast.

Lots of fat!  I dunno though i don't think its that bad, I started at over 17% bf, and when I broke 200 i was up to 20% or a little over, and I slowed the bulk down until recently, I even went down to 19% as I was gaining weight for a while till i got up to 207+ and I started to get back over 20%, dunno what I am at now.  The juice is tempting, especially when to get rid of the fat and keep all the muscle it would help drastically rather than me lose weight of both.  Trying to keep it natural unless I decide to be a pro powerlifter or something stupid like that, reach my potential without it and decide from there, I still make progress with my lifts.

Stay natural ..... your body will be thankful in the long run.

When do you plan on cutting??

ummm i dunno yet.  I was supposed to do it once i broke 200, but I got into powerlifting and wanted to gain strength, that and I didn't want to be a puny 165 lbs.  I want to be cut at more like 200,  I don't think I will cut until I am close to 185 lbs LBM.  That might not be till I weigh 250, but then again if I hit 250 I should be putting up some serious numbers and might just start competing for a while, or else lean to 208 ish and compete int eh 198 lb class.

And to bulking, I want to be a beast so I hope it happens, thanks!

quite true. for every inch you lose from your waist (which is a hell of a lot easier than putting an inch on your chest!!) the better the effect.
danny padilla created a fantatic illusion that he was 25-30lbs bigger than he actually was due to tiny waist, big chest and washboard abs to be nicknamed the giant killer

Bench Press Max - 170kg @ 100kg
Squat Max - 220kg @100kg
Deadlift Max - 275kg @100kg
