Why On Earth Would You Go Above 10%Bf In Your 20s (SRS)(Pics)

Most people in the gym look like this yet they are still bulking:





- Look like a bloated mess
- Nobody thinks you even lift or exercise yet you probably bench 225 and spend 6 hours a week in the gym.
- Bloated ugly face
- Look bad in clothes

All it takes is a little bit of muscle on a decent frame and low bodyfat to look better then 99% of the population.

Proof:






- Look athletic healthy & fit
- Probably train half the time as permabulker
- Take off t shirt run around the block get eyefkd by everyone
- Lean face
- Look good in clothes
- Living your youth looking better than 99% of people
- You actually look like you exercise
- Abs are a worldwide symbol of health and vitality
- Dedication required to get and stay lean is respected by everyone
- Get eyefkd by everyone


So why on earth are you bulking when you are above 10%bf ?

Athletes? People training for strength?

People like those guys you posted at the bottom who don't have the time, or dedication to actually cut down to 10%?

most guys permabulk because they dont actually know how to bulk. They dont count macros and when they feel like theyve put on too much fat they drop their eating habits a little bit to "clean up their diet" but then they realize they arent making gains so then they say "alright this month im going to eat soo good, hella rice and chicken" but then they cant eat 5 meals a day so they snack or eat a bunch of cheat meals because "im bulking bro" and then they go to the gym and see the guys runnin chit and feel bad about themselves and then want to go eat a whole pizza thinking it will fuel their gains.

When in actuality if they just counted macros and did proper bulk/cut cycles without guessing they would actually look like the guys posted at the bottom of the OP.





Bottom line, if you dont have top tier genetics then you cant just "eat clean and train mean" you have to systematically approach aesthetics

10% is leaner than you think OP, the guy you posted is higher than that. I would agree with what you said though if you replace 10% with about 12%

We'll see how shredded I get on this cut. But abs is not a look I strive to maintain. I just want to not have a Gut. And be Relatively "strong" for day to day life.

Jakes on u homos worrying more about Aesthetics less about actually giving girls the Vitamin D they so desperately desire

no he isn't. You have no idea what a true 10% bodyfat looks like lol. Your visual estimations ( as with most miscers) are way off. Unless you're confirming by dexa scan, there's no way for you to know. 10% is WAY leaner than you and most people here believe it is.

I'd say above 12 but yeah definitely. So many dreamer bulk/bulky fat people in the gym. Throwing random weights around, then walking around with their lats spread like they're the king of the gym. I'm like smhhh



Like unless you're benching 500 for reps and deadlifting over 800lbs it doesn't count

Probably because of the fact that the most potential for growth is in your 20's?

If you have half a brain and do it right you bulk to 12-15% and can still look better than 90% of guys out there.

What bf% is he then ? protruding abs at 12%bf seems unlikely.

Post a pic of true 10%bf natty.



This guys dexa puts him at 6.5% bf or something and he has similar leaness to the guy I posted.

I like to feel like more of a man a majority of the time. If I cut, it won't be for long.

Nothing better than bulking, looking like you lift in a shirt, and feeling like a man among peasants. Oh and feeling strong
