Funny thing was I switched to endurance racing and it felt 1000% more natural for my body.

This is really interesting because I am the genetic opposite - was always chunky, all the men in my family were fat. Not obese, but a permanent 25-30% body fat with broad shoulders, revolving around the 6' margin. When I cut, I've had to go as low as 1600 or else my weight wouldn't budge. When 'bulking' in the past, I'd gain mounds of fat off 2500-2800 calories. It's efficient, but it's painful to eat this low especially when you have been cursed with a mammoth appetite. I can eat 2 large pizzas myself just lying around. Cuts are fuking brutal and not worth it anymore to get a few oz of lower abdomen fat to leave. srs.

As mentioned previously, 10 years of dedication, consistency, and sacrifice have produced this physique. I'm at the leanest I've ever been and most comfortable revolving around a full 175. Mind you I used to be 215 fkn lol. Thought I was gaining mass and all that. Early training ignorance.







I am pretty much retired from the bulking/cutting cycles as it isn't worth it now. I'd rather maintain this look.

Miring SRS, I think we have similar genetics and family is similar, all chunky , mine are actually fat.


For chest, I took out bench press completely and replaced it with DBs with various angles, and cables, it made a difference but I'm sure you tried that.



What's your height and maintenance calories to maintain your current physique?
