Well, first, I am leaner than I was in CO. That was 2 years ago. I made a lot of progress since then even with it taking me nearly a year to recover from that motorcycle accident.
While I will eventually work on getting even leaner than this, right now it doesn’t matter to me. The ONLY place people seem to have such a problem with how I look and not see the progress made is this site.
The girl I am with now likes me like this. The people I see daily give compliments.
Why change that to make people on the internet happy…even though all they seem to focus on is shit from two years ago and ignoring progress made?
That’s not telling you to fuck off…I just don’t understand the mentality.
I cold see if my waist was over 40" or something…but it isn’t.[/quote]
Like I said, I don’t think you look ‘bad’. You’ll definitely turn heads in a room, and have a powerful look. No argument there. If I think the girl your with wouldn’t mind a bigger, OR a leaner you, ya know?
I personally don’t ‘care’ what anyone looks like. But this is a bodybuilding website. I send progress pics to my other lifting friends or on here, and they critique me. Ya know “adding mass to your delts, may need to hit the lats harder, etc”. Strong points, weak points. yada yada. I just think you’re strong point right now is size, and you’re ‘weak’ point (if you want to call it that) is leanness and showcasing that size.
I’m in no way saying you’re obese, or that you’ve done nothing but get fat. I just think at your level, getting pretty lean would be a solid indicator of progress for you, and it seriously wouldn’t be that difficult. Like in the next two months, don’t you think dropping some weight to get in the lower teens BF% would do a HELL of a lot more for your physique then adding, what, MAYBE a legit pound of LBM?
I mean you talk about kind of paying your dues, taking the time to yeah, not be the leanest but being a little softer as a ‘means to and end’… Like I feel you’ve put your time in. It’s like working your ass off at a job for years, and slowly moving up. After a few years, you’re pretty high on the food chain, idk, assistant manager or some shit. Got a good paycheck now, make more then most, got some bonuses… But dammit, don’t you want to just be running the place? Like, you’ve earned it, why not just fucking take it? You’ve cut before. You’re not retarded, you can obviously diet quick, effectively, and without losing probably any real LBM to get in the 10~% range.
I doubt I’ll persuade you, and like you said you don’t need to be trying to please random people on the internet. But I’ve read your posts before… There’s been times where you’ve gotten a bit leaner, and said you looked bigger, got compliments, shit like that. Every other big guy on here who ‘bulked’ and leaned down said the same thing. I think you may not be taking into consideration how happy getting lean could make YOU, man. I genuinely think you could make some crazy progress in your physique, literally by probably late- April! Like, idk dude. I think you should just give it a legit shot. [/quote]

Your opinion is valid. I just don’t care right now. I know what my short term and long term goals are already. I know where I plan to be in what month. Just because I don’t post that in detail here doesn’t mean there are no plans.
many things I won’t write here because this site attracts too many people just here to argue no matter what gets written.
No one gets to this size without MUCH care in what gets eaten and lifted and when.
