How do you know if you are truly big?

For some lifters its pretty obvious they are big and lift.

For others its much harder to tell, they could be skinny to some, fat to others, or big as well, Everyone has their own standards or perceptions of big and muscular

What are some good signs a person is universally big
-Getting regular compliments (bulky, monster, huge, massive, big guy etc)
- Being in the top 95% percentile for measurements, e.g. 20 inch shoulder width
- Most people who can bench 2 plates for reps are pretty big
- People stare at you in public a lot
- guys/girls touch your muscles
- People ask you for workout advice or bulking tips

When guys start holding their girls when you are near.

When they change tables because you stood for 30 seconds trying to take out your thick wallet from your gray jogger showing both your bulges (dunk and cash) as well as your overall height. This happened not long ago. Srs

When they mire your total package and you can see their souls die in their eyes. Lol
"The manlet is a savage beast that knows no moral bound. After falling in disgrace to a manmore, a ravaged manlet would not hesitate to come from behind and land a sucker punch/ swing with a rock to the back of a manmore's head. They are ruthless and you need to spend some more time in the gutter to even begin trying to comprehend what goes on in their minds."

Hurt by the aleeboy and need to cope? Go here for hugs: https://forum.obnoxiousbrutes.com/showthread.php?t=178724011

You are decently muscular - Girls compliment you, they will reference certain bodyparts but in actuality they like your physique as a whole

You are truly big - Guys give you attention and ask for gym advices, girls leave you lmao

I guess it's all relative to who is in your environment.

Also, most real lifters don't know if they are big. Many still see the same 150lbs in the mirror (me).

This, it's all relative. If I go to a commercial gym, I am usually the biggest or close to it. Same in public places. But I'm middle of the pack (maybe top quarter) at the bb/pl gym I lift at, and the few times been around NFL or college football players, I obviously felt pretty average.

Tfw you can squat 600 but you still feel small cause you're surrounded by pro bodybuilders

This. Can relate 100%

I get comments 8/10 times I'm in a public space about my size. That's really the only way I know I'm decently sized.
6'1 - 240lbs

Depends where you are. At your gym you might not look like you lift. But to the general public most will think you are massive
