    This is a great picture that with great perspective, AJ simply has a large athletic long and lean frame broad shoulders and small waist. He towers over most people based on frame size alone. Imagine him in that pic 20-30lbs lighter he would look super skinny.

    Even welter weights look big with no shirt on when ripped in good lighting, see them in real life they look small, its all perspective. AJ has great proportions. He looks exactly like i would expect somebody with his frame to look after lifting weights

    He also appears to have abnormally long legs, which would account for some extra weight.

    I still find this hilarious that people on here who 'go to the gym' are comparing themselves and what is possible against a professional athlete who's job is to be in the gym.

    Being lean/ripped like that is partly genetics. But it's mostly down to calories consumed. He obviously eats what he needs and no more.

    Yeah anybody who thinks differently to you is stupid, naive or ignorant, smh.

    There are just as good reasons to believe he is clean as there are to believe he is not.

    I understand what you are saying but most 5'9 bodybuilding meatheads don't chuckle at 6'6, 250 pounders.
    Truth is, tall guys like AJ are f--king huge even when they are skinny !

    Totally agree with this, I am a 5ft7 manlet, and i have been o working out for years, In a tight fitting t shirt i look like i lift no doubt but even non lifters who are 5ft 10+ make me look tiny stood next to me. I gave up on trying to look big, never gona happen at my height, I am just into staying and looking fit.

    AJ has a large broad intimidating frame. He would dwarf most juicers without him even lifting.

    Muscle mass takes up less space than fat. It's more dense. So in clothes a musclar person looks much skinnier than a fat person of the same weight. Because they take up less space.

    We live in a society where basically everybody is fat. Even the muscular guys are usually fat today. So when you see an actual very lean person the first thought in most people's mind is wow that guy is really skinny. Even if they have a good amount of muscle mass.

    Most welterweights are rehydrating to 160 pounds with very little bodyfat. On a 5'9" frame that looks ripped because in most cases (depending on frame size) that actually is cut up and ripped. Guys like Kell Brook look pretty ripped because they're actually lean and muscular. It's not an illusion.

    I wish everyone who never worked out would just leave the thread and spare us their rubbish explanations. I've rarely seen so much pseudo science by armchair athletes who couldn't squat their bodyweight if their lives depended on it. There is zero chance mad*****ter has ever seen a gym from the inside.

    Exactly.
    It's like Great Dane will always be bigger than a Bull Terrier, no matter how thick and stocky you breed the Bull Terrier.

    McCline is a proven steroid cheat. As for the other guys you mentioned, they all competed in an era with little to no drug testing.
