Since when did a bodyfat percentage in the mid single digits equal pudge?! The guy is ripped and, unlike usher, can probably bench more than 30 lbs. He's put WAY more time into his body, and it shows.

It's "rock" bodies, not "buff" bodies. That's why the guy with the saxophone in Lost Boys didn't make the list. Like I said...Usher's body looks like it's etched from stone even though it's slim. That's the essence of a "rock" body.

Um, the term rock was used to signify a "rock" star, and at the same time, someone with a nice body. And if anything, Usher has more bodyfat than LL. Look at their respective pecs and abs - the skin is much tighter on LL than it is Usher.

Uh, I think it was rock as in rock star.

I was also thinking of rollins. He's very built, but I can't imagine many ladies would find him particularly sexy. He's too rough

Sorry to get off an a rant here, but when did music become more about how you look than the actual quality of music you put out? Look at Britney Spears: she has nothing to say and is about as deep as a bird bath, yet she whores herself across the airwaves and millions of sheep flock to buy her albums.

It's music that appeals to the masses and the masses have never had much of an interest in looking deeply into the arts, so it's easier to judge by an attractive person as opposed to how well they hit notes.

LL is bigger, but Usher looks more 'hard' which is what this was about. And he's still pretty ripped...I bet you he's a lot stronger than most of the people on this board.

Not according to our bench press polls hehe

Thats because he actually has muscles under the skin.

LL doesn't have that lean look a lot of women like, and he hasn't really done much popular music that I know of lately.

That said, he is certainly not 'pudge' in that picture. I really don't see any fat on him. He is wicked fvcking cut there.

Skin being tighter has almost nothing to do with bigger muscles. Your skin will still look puffy at whatever % BF (say 10%) at 6'2, 180lbs just like it will at 6'2, 220lbs.
