You do realize the difference between 12% and 15% @ 185 is only 5# of bodyfat right? Just because you are a lazy sack of chit doesn't mean that everyone that's better than you is cheating...
It's more like 12-15 tbh but ok

Jesus Christ you really are retarded... 1% of 185# is 1.85#. Do you seriously have no concept of how percentages work?

I eat anywhere from 1500-1800 calories a day and my strength goes up. My size does too, but at a much slower rate. This is also on <20 carbs a day, mostly meat diet.

He's right though, I know a guy who thinks he put on 20 lbs of muscle in the past year because he went from 205 to 225. And most guys tend to think that way, even this guy is a natural pro and he got fat as **** to gain zero muscle.

That said, he was arrested for selling dat dere back when he claimed natty soooo take that claim how you will
Just looked that up, he wasn't claiming natural back then. But that is pretty crazy.

If you've ever done a few rounds of biking then your limit is forever increases, thus your opinion isn't really applicable.

You have to be miscounting your calories or you have seriously chit tier metabolic rate. I'm an inch taller and only 15# heavier and at 1,800/day I would be dropping 1.5-2# a week.

.
I'm not scrolling through a 14 minute video, but why do you say he gained zero muscle? Obviously he didn't put on 20, but I think people underestimate a natty dude looks when you compare 8-10% vs 14-15%. I looked like poo at the end of my surplus last year(up 18 lbs), but I came out of it 3-4 lbs heavier at the same leanness. Might sound like a waste of time but that's pretty much the reality for someone 5+ years into serious training without PED.

Mike Israetel made a great point in a recent podcast: it's extremely easy to lose 20 lbs of fat, but incredibly difficult to gain 5 lbs of muscle. If i have to put on 25 lbs to gain 5 lbs of muscle, so be it

Lol by that logic I'm not natty lmao, brah pls. For everyone ITT I'm not talking about mass in general, water, glycogen, fat. I'm talking about specifically building lean body mass AKA muscle.
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

Admittedly you do look more full than I do in the arms and legs but that's the curse not being a manlet. Not hating brah srs but your abdominals are non-existent. These pics are two weeks old.

Lol mine are non existent after a full day of food and water and when I'm focused on flexing my arms, delts and chest hard AF, yes. I suck at posing / controlling mid section.

They exist, I promise

Based on what he looked like before, I remember he used to train with George Leeman.

It's hard to do either, being hungry all the time sucks.

I'm all for being "fat and happy" if that's what people wanna do, but it's not necessary. It does feel a lot better to eat a lot for sure though.

Strong this, let's say you maintain on 2600 cal, then do you have to eat something 3000 cal to gain muscle probably, do you need to eat 6000 cal of crap food NOOO.

You know how you can bulk even fast, guys? Stop lifting! By burning less calories you can gain more weight in the same amount of time resulting in faster weight gains to reach your goal weight.
It's simple math!

Welp I eat north of 2800 calories consistently and I’m training hard AF so I’m just gonna chalk it down to genetics. I literally benched 225 for reps today after 5 years (I got an injury 5 years ago) haven’t lifted that heavy since. I obviously don’t train for strength but it was good to hit those numbers again didn’t feel too heavy either

Edit: I weigh 175 currently, everybody knows this brah shorter guys look more filled out at the same weight

Just watched his transformation video, he's actually a prime example of why you shouldn't bulk like a retard. At 317 lbs off-season weight, he should basically have as much muscle as Dorian Yates, yet he had to diet all the way down to 219 lbs (while being on insane amounts of stuff). Whatever extra muscle he gained (if any), he definitely lost it all after dieting.



Also, you're a ***got troll.
