how many times do you make the same threads? Do you have a certain rotation and they eventually drop off?

If you're 6'2" close to 230 and you're between Large and XL you're nothing but an overgrown twink.

No, dirty bulked to 265 @ 29% last winter and have never hated life more. Dumbest thing I have ever done (srs)

I canโ€™t understand how anyone enjoys it. Above 205, I feel like itโ€™s not worth all of the extra time spent eating and shidding.

Cutting forever and staying under 200 once I am back down to normal. I need to adjust my training for a pro driving license next year.

At 185-190 I feel lean and fast but tiny and pathetic compared to thicck males
At 205-215 I feel someone buff but still weak in comparison to the thikc ****s and a little chubby
At 215-230 I feel fat as fukc, disgusting, hate life

Pick your poison. Unless your a pure unit, being lean means feeling small when you go out, and being bulked makes you feel nasty

Negative. Iโ€™m 6โ€™2 217 and large rarely fits me because itโ€™s to tight around my arms. I wear mostly XL and look for muscle fit when I buy clothes.

That's the thing man being lean is pointless these days if you're just gonna not look like you lift in a shirt or have strength. 60% of dudes will mog you. I'm 227 now and almost always the skinniest guy in the room. Can't imagine being back down at 185-190.

Know how you feel

By BMI standards Iโ€™m obese yet I still feel skinny

I think itโ€™s because everyone else is super obese so I literally am skinny in comparison

Yeah idk what's going on man. I'm 227 lbs and the scale says i'm 29 BMI and i legit feel like a twig when i go out. I thought this when i was 200 lbs and i still feel like it at 227 lbs lol. I don't even feel like i lift anymore either. The average BMI has to be around 34 BMI so i'll have to get that big before i look like i lift.

I've been talking about this for years how the average guy nowadays is either like 6ft-6'5 or well over 240 lbs

I'm legit 6'2 222 lbs and was getting mogged in Kansas yesterday. Almost all the dudes were at least 6'2 or 250+

Same I'm 6'2 220 and feel like I have a tiny frame compared to like half the people I walk next to

In 2011-2012ish I swear even at 198 lbs I was almost always the biggest guy in the room

I don't feel that big it doesn't help thar I can't fit into any shirts except XXL

Xl are too short L and m are way too small

I do fit in xxl but I can't fit normal shirts like m l or xl

I'm too tall with too long of a torso

Yep xl and xxl just get wider thats why I can't fit them either

I have a bunch of super soft ae shirts but they have short af sleeves and don't get longer they're only made for twinks like machine gun kelly

If I wear medium shirts I look huge around the chest and shoulders but they are way too short. If I was 5'9 I could fit them perfect.

Yeah I carb depleted for 1 day and started feeling small af. But just in general at 6'2 218ish I feel small/skinny compared to a lot of people

Here in the plains a lot of people are 6'2 250+ maybe thats why

I can't fit any shirts man

This is XL and it's way too short

I'm 6'3'' 245 now, and if I got down to 230 I would feel decently skinny. 225 is where I'd feel downright thin.

I don't miss being 230, felt sluggish and lazy. No point in looking big if you dont have the performance outside of weights to back it up. Down to 210ish and feel much better.

No more breathing heavy going up steps, knees/back hurting, no more bloat face, and most of all no more force feeding myself trying to gain size.
