Well in my case, I enjoy 3-6 beers every night and the food binge that goes with it. Not proud of it, but that's why

It may be hard but at least it will be over quickly. As opposed to living with a fat body trying to gain 10lb muscle which will take months.

I dont like feeling like a damn stick. Also it is next to impossible for me to put more weight on the bar if Im not gaining weight. I'd rather be 12%bf making progress and still looking decent than 8% and weak af but aesthetic.

Hated bulking I bought into the idea of it from this site, got to 190 and looked disgusting , better to stay lean and functional. Nothing worse than taking your shirt off at night and seeing your fat belly with no abs. Dunno how fat brahs live like that.
I just want to share the knowledge I have obtained throughout my life and hopefully change someone's life.

After you bust a nut. That **** doesn't matter.

Abs only matter to FA's.

Because it's hard as fuk?

If I do everything right and average 1900 calories/day for a week, with 2-3 hours of cardio, I shed 2 lbs at best... and I'm fat as fk, it should be easy to melt off like 5 lbs/week but it isn't

and you're asking why guys who weigh 220 don't get down to 180? LMAO

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

You go right ahead and feel like a "man." And when you're at the beach and not a single girl looks your way, or when you're at a nightclub and all the females are trying to lift your best buds shirt up to see his abs, just tell yourself you're a man. You can bench more than he does. You can impress all the high school guys with your filled out XL shirt and 20% bf. At least someone will take note.

With your lifts, I'd guess more like 175-180 at best. Maybe more like 190-200 if you mean abs when flexing your guts out and having had trained them properly.

To JB05 the Hillary dicksucker, bro if you're doing 2-3 hours cardio - no ****ing wonder you aren't dropping any weight. Skip the ****ing cardio, eat less and lift big & heavy. Cardio is **** for cutting lean and maintaining muscle, I thought ****ing everyone knew that. No wonder you're a CTR shill.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Ahh man, the feels. I was at around 8% BF at the start of the summer, decided to go on a mini bulk thats gonna last me up until Christmas time and am at around 11% BF. I can tell a difference, maybe it's in my head, maybe not. Seems like girls used to look at me more when I was lean as opposed to now. Next spring though I'm going to be bigger and more ripped. Mark my words brahs. I'm gonna make it.

Yea I don't mean Striations n sht, just barely there. But thats my goal. Not that I wouldn't mind being shredded AF. Maybe I will take the cut all the way to that point. But As a maintaining point. Barely abs is where its at.

eh, I stay around 12%.

Face not bloated
Look good in clothes
I don't take my shirt off in public anyway

If I cut to 10%:
All lifts go down significantly
Look flat
No energy
Brb starving all the time
Again, never take shirt off in public so all that happens is I look smaller in clothes

Everyone is different.

Fat distribution, ab genetics, etc. There are guys that can have visible abs (at least a distinct outline) without flexing at upwards of 14-15% body fat (if we are talking legitimate BF, not visual guessing). Anything under 8% and you are entering the realm of having shredded glutes.

Ya facial aesthetics can go out the window after gaining 2%bf and holding a bunch of water from all the carbs.

10% is very lean but I agree. whats the point of even working out if you're going to stay fat?

I can confirm, low BF is goat way to live. Yeah you can't indulge in junk food all the time, but all in moderation. Pros out weigh the cons

Bulking absolutely destroys my facial aesthetics. Would rather be skinny and lean than big with a fat face.

I think 12% is perfect for having those low bf aesthetics along with still being able to have fun with life...
