Is there ever any point in dirty bulking as a natty?

I've never seen someone go on a dirty bulk as a natural and look good after. Pretty much every time all that happens is that said dirty bulker will get fat as hell, and then spend twice to 3x the amount of time cutting than if they'd bulked up at a sensible rate. People who recommend stuff like SS GOMAD to beginners should be tarred and fearthered.

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

It's the only way to increase lifts as a true natty.

All the low body fat twinks you see with linear increasing PRs on their core lifts are cheating with chit like SARMs or low dose TRT srs

Yeah, I always knew you shouldn't overeat to gain muscle. You generally don't need to. All you need to do is eat a normal amount of nutritious foods (including whole grains for added energy), become stronger and be consistent. And this is coming from a woman who has been 120% natural throughout the years.



Ten or so years ago, the "popular" idea was to eat as much as possible to gain weight, believing added calories would put on muscle mass. But pure muscle mass isn't always bulky- appearance, IRL, would be described as 'jacked' and sculpted instead.
Fact: My first-generation uncle was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson! He also fought in the war, sacrificing the career he deeply loved, so people could have the right to freedom.

Sure everyone needs to put on some size if they want to get stronger, but there's absolutely no reason you can't get strong without also becoming a fat fuk in the process.

Depends on your goals.

If you just want to be aesthetic, it’s pretty fukking pointless to dirty bulk. All you’re going to do is speed up fat gain. Natties don’t have the hormone profiles to signal that many calories to go to muscle building. Just eat a small surplus (300-500) until you reach your goal weight, then gaintain. Mini cuts/bulks as needed


If you want to increase your lifts as much as possible...it’s the best way

It's a horrible idea as a natty.

Honestly, you should just shoot for keeping a clean diet and looksmaxxing or prepping your joints for the path to the darkside.

Lifting weights and exercising to look better should be your goal. The kind of bodybuilding that involves bulking and cutting is an absolute waste of time as a natty.

there's really no point in bulking as a natty, you'll never be big anyways

the best you can do as a natural is acquire a baseline of muscle mass (beginner gains, or hopefully you were lifting throughout high school or something) and then stay lean and aesthetic... focus on lifting for the energy and mental health benefits, do yoga and chit

so much more efficient to just use nutrient partitioning agents to put on 25 lbs of pure muscle and then maintain that for the rest of your life... brb 200+ lbs @ 10% BF and never have to be fat throughout the journey. easy to maintain as a natty as well, especially an anti-aging supplement in the mix (5 days on 2 days off)
