Hypermuscularity?

Just curious. I am a competitive athlete (powerlifting and getting into strongman) and an obsessive lifter, the result is a large, muscular veiny body. I am 250, 6 foot with very low bodyfat. I feel that this can be a detriment to many women and aside from losing a bit of mass, wich I am always tring to do, (I have been as heavy as 270 and just as lean). I was wondering if anyone encountered this "problem" and how much of it may just be in my head.

I like to lift and I like to eat.....so it is kind of hard.

I recently lost a bunch of weight after a bad breakup and got down to 230ish and noticed alot more looks and alot more female attention so I am going to try to get back down there.

Thanks for the help

First I'll say I don't have any personal experience with being "too muscular" but I believe it is mostly in your head. If you feel more comfortable at 230 and it isn't hard to get to that weight, then I'd do it. The difference might actually be that you are more confident and less self-conscious at the lighter weight. Also do you use any c+f in your game? Because if you are actually in great shape and/or good looking it can come off as being arrogant and actually hurt you if you aren't careful about it.

I dont think it is a problem. Now I do get less looks when I go crazy with my bulk and get a turkey neck, but other than that you are fine dude.

when in comfort Be really philosophical, talk about stuff like happiness, what creates it... how to solve unhappiness, love. this makes you seem really deep.
(girls gets fascinated by this, especially the smart ones)

resulting in them realising that they came over an athletic guy with a lot of muscles that are actually REALLY CLEVER. killing the stereotype
