Why the Big Muscle Look is Dead in Hollywood

The Leading Man in Hollywood is Now Slim and Toned, Not Bulky!

Remember back in the 80's when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the big
action star? He was huge. He basically brought bodybuilding to
the mainstream and influenced an entire generation of young guys
to want to get as big and muscular as possible. It started with
Conan, then the Terminator, Commando, Predator, Twins, and many
more action flicks.

The Big Muscle Look Began to Die in the Late 90's.

You see, although many guys wanted to get as big as possible,
women had a different idea of what looked great. They wanted
their men to look good in dress clothes as well as with their
shirts off. Women are physically attracted to the "GQ" look or
lean and slim toned guys, not massive freaky muscular guys. If
you ever have seen a soap opera, you will notice that all of the
men have average amounts of muscle but with exceptional muscle
tone.

1999, the Year Fight Club Came Out, Was The Official Death of the
Massive Look

For years during the big muscle era, women kept trying to tell
guys that they were more interested in muscle definition and not
into the bodybuilder look. Guys didn't really listen until 1999,
when Fight Club came out. Brad Pitt finally showed the masses of
guys out there that being ultra-lean with a normal build is more
bad-ass looking than being huge and bulky. Brad's character,
Tyler Durden, was able to get a "hip" funky look, but had
amazing muscle definition when he took his shirt off. This is a
winning combination with the ladies and all actors are striving
for this look.

Since the late 90's, Many Hollywood Actors Have Begun to Slim
Down

Remember how big The Rock used to be? He is now MUCH lighter and
looks great. What about Mark Wahlberg or Ryan Reynolds? Both of
these guys have really slimmed down and have the sleek and toned
look instead of being bulky. Same with Matt Damon. More recently
Will Smith really slimmed down for his role in "I am Legend".
He had to get big and bulky for "Ali", but dropped a lot of
that mass and really cleaned up his physique for his newest
role.

Are You "Still" Trying to Get Massive?

Being big and massive is a great way to impress guys in the gym,
but won't get you far with women. There is simply a
"cheesiness" factor once you get too big. You can't really
achieve a hip look and clothes don't fit well. Ever see a
professional football player or professional wrestler in a suit?
They look stupid. If you want to be more attractive to the
opposite sex, then you may reconsider your goal of getting big
muscles. Opt for the lean athletic look instead.
