That is your answer right there, muscle density!! I'm one of those guys who is much lighter than I look, That is the goal in the long run really for a lot of us.

Ya I'm 230 there's a dude that 190 n is like 3 times bigger.
Yep, it has a lot to do with muscle density and frame size, etc....also a lot to do with genetics. That's why you see guys like Phil Heath that look so awesome with those nice round and full muscle bellies and wins the Olympia every year in comparison to guys that are a lot heavier.
I'm under 200 lbs myself, but most think I'm heavier

In a way, bodybuilding is about illusion and not just pure size. A simple example is that a wide chest looks even wider with a tight waist. Perhaps its genetics, muscle density, etc but perhaps its that bodybuilding illusion. Rick mentioned Phil Heath's muscle bellies and genetics and those help with the illusion.
Some dudes may look "bigger", but I'd rather see a dude that's conditioned like Pantene pro-V and shredded head to toe rather than a big dude. I see guys at my gym that are pretty big but they're watery and honestly fat. Build that muscle up with a nice clean look. That'll be way more appealing to everyone's eyes and you'll get more compliments. Now size ANNNND conditioning, that's a whole other story haha
LOL, you never know man. I might be your type! Haha
I'm 5'9" bro. What's funny is that pic was taken in 2013 before my show, and I'm only 171 in that pic
I've gained a lot of size since then

Take a look at Jim Cordova. He has like a 165 stage weight and looks MASSIVE.
Perfectly said and spot on bro. Somebody well defined will get the attention every time...now somebody with impressive size AND conditioning.....STEALS the spotlight!
Yep, scale weight doesn't mean a whole lot. A perfect example is the legend Frank Zane. He is my height (5'9") and won the Olympia at 185 lbs

Because everybody is different, bone density, muscle density and internal organ weight, water weight, height, varies from person to person.

i mean you are younger than me and i don't want to ever be 230-240 again cuz if you ever injure or slack it just turns or turned to blob for me and it has been a hard ass journey to try and lose the shit i have lost in the past 6 months or so.

You also have to remember that extreme muscle definition makes you look bigger than u are. Im only 215 but i look like im 225-230 because i have muscle size and definition. But dont worry about the other guy. If you are solid and defined who cares. Its all about being happy with what YOU have. If you spend all ur time worry about size to size u will put your mind in a non productive way. Your physique seems great. Just keep grinding.
