    Default Most muscular

    Who do you think are the most muscular people in Wuxia?

    I think XF is the buffest as he's such a macho guy although YG probably has the biggest left arm.

    Who among women characters would be muscular? HR? RYY?

    YG was described as slender, though i highly doubt the possibility of him having a small left arm after playing with that HIS for so long.
    Burying his Dugu 9 Jian manual under an epitaph, Dugu Qiubai felt he has left his legacy for the next generation. He then moved to Shaolin to study Buddhism, sweep floors and tap elite fighters.

    nah, he hadn't used it for like at least a decade by the end of the book...maybe his arm "normal-ized"

    But he had no trouble using the tiger sword when he was 36 though.

    Yeah and the tiger was much heavier than his HIS.

    If Yeung Gor had a huge arm, and only one arm, wouldn't he fall over all the time from the awkward balance?

    Daerba was suppose to be huge. Zhang AhSheng, the fifth Freak was also said to be jacked.

    Underneath the fluffly, cudly exterior lies the tormented and complex creature known as the panda.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Daerba was described as skinny in the novel. It was those adaptations that portrayed him as the muscular, buff superman.

    Holding the Heavy Iron Sword would already make him have an awkward balance, wouldn't it? Also, YG's arm would probably be larger than normal even after he stopped using the HIS. People that played tennis in high schools still have one arm much bigger than the other even after quitting tennis for years.

    How heavy is the Heavy Iron Sword? If it's like 50 pounds or more, then YG must have huge biecps, which might be why chicks dig him so much.

    HIS was described to be about 110-130 lbs.

    That's ridiculous. YG's arm must be bigger than the bodybuilding champion Ronnie Coleman whose biceps are 24 inches and does armcurls with "only" 75 lbs. No wonder YG can kill someone with a plam to the chest.

    Yeah, since YG was tall and slender--his left hand must be the same width as him.

    My quick rendition of YG with big left arm--Thanx to Huang Xiao Ming. I am no good at drawing muscles--should have paid attention in art class. I should have made the arm double that size --oh well.

    Arm strength is not always measured by size. There are some guys with enormous strength but not too much muscle look. Though if you try to touch their ordinary looking arm, it is surprisingly rock hard.

    Showoff, you know that 50lbs is quite a lot. Anyways, 25lbs is a pretty big difference in arm curls. I'll say that a 50lbs armcurl is about equivalent to 220lbs benchpress. Going from 50 to 75 for the armcurl would be like going from 220 to 330 in the benchpress.

    Good point, but I doubt that a guy that can swing around more than 100lbs easily with one arm would have an ordainary looking arm.
