And how long did it take until you realized you were becoming a fat horse rather than sculpting an Adonis's physique? How much unwanted fat did you have to lose after? Any permabulking recipes or daily menus to share?

In my early twenties I was obsessed with weighing 20 stone (280). I got a little over, made it to 283 I think.
I'm now 253 and look twice the size I did. It's definitely fun to do for a short term goal though.
-
236 at 5 ft 10 now 160 with little to no body fat.
-
never but i look forward to that when im done bodybuilding

Twice daily shakes consisting of Milk, oats, powdered milk (had no money).
Probably had to drop 25 pounds of flubba.
Was strong though.
TA was probably the most extreme example here in the first Mr. GB.

Would that be True Adonis. I wasn't here in the Get Big heyday.

I bulk and cut my 1st time around lifting.. then got outta hand bulking again and bulked for about 3 years till I met my cardio queen ex who taught me proper nutrition.. so I'll say 19-24 was about 3 years of bulking 220-175. 5'9

AIDS?
-
260-290 at 6'4'' from early 20's to 27 when I had an illness which erased my apetite. Something to be said for simply starving your body willfully or not. 3,4,5 meals a day for years no drugs = holding lots of water.
down to 220 around 10%bf fitter than ever. I've become extroadinarily more vain, though. ???

AIDS?
not that but it was because of a health problem.

About 240-245 here in 2004. Total waste. As a natural when you Permabulk, then come down you will be worse off then if you just stayed relatively lean and only had a few lbs to lose.
The good news is, you can fix the Permabulk dieting down damage by just staying lean and staying within 10-15 lbs of your ideal weight or so.
Although, I do wonder if it does help to do at least one Permabulk early on to hasten the weight lifted which builds muscle as a result of handling heavy weight.

ull owe him an apology if he does...dudes a monster

maybe you think permabulking was a waste of time because you didnt do it long enough

I did it for three years or so.

imagine if youve done in for 10 years, the size of your calves growing from carrying all that weight around, the strength of a bigger man, maybe not ideal for bodybuilding but maybe you would've been accepted to westside barbell

It does seem like most "maxed out" naturals bulked up at one point, only to lean down to their current state. Coincidence or causal factor? Difficult to say for sure
-
I drank gain weight shakes for over a decade. No, bs. I lifted heavy and ate like a pig. I sometimes drank two 700 calorie drinks a day. I still wonder how much damage I did to my heart.
-
Got to 255 for a while. Didnt really mind the love handles, arms were big as fuck (for me).
Then I started boxing 6 months ago and i had trouble moving around so i'm now 230 for this purpose. I'd like to get to 200 ripped but the willpower to diet intensly ain't there anymore.
Boxing is fucking awesome, wish i had done that as a kid instead of bodybuilding. I stillnsuck at it tho... shit is fucking hard
-
All natural lifters should bulk when they first start to get their noob gains as quickly as possible. Then diet down to 10-15% and never bulk again.

bulking is silly
You can gain the same amount of muscle from eating 500 cals over your maintenance as you can eating 2000 over.

From 2001 - 2008, I went from 180 (ish) to 270 @ 5'11", this was while I was still natural - epic amount of self denial. I kept putting weight on the bar, buying larger clothes and hearing laypeople tell me I was a beast, I guess I was - a fat , strong beast. Ironically, the largest I ever was on juice was 240 (ish) , now a days I stay around 200 (blast and cruise) and look pretty good if I say so myself. Thank Zues for superior skin elasticity, I have no stretch marks.
I was one of "those" guys, considering myself a "powerlifter" even though I didn't compete, adding olive oil and bananas to my incessant protein shakes, eating daily at chinese buffets etc. etc.
The embarrassing (in hind sight) stories I could tell..........
-
Bulked up once to around 260lbs at 6'2ft. Looked "huge" but waist was nearly 40 inches. Ended up going on an intense diet/cardio routine and shrunk to under 180lbs. Very lean but looked like I had the AIDS.
I guessed that it was best to go halfway. Currently around 220lbs. Pretty fat but feel strong and healthy.
-
Most I've been is around 230 about 4 years ago.
Dieted down to 180 in like a 9 month diet, wayy too long and I did cardio 6 days a week right from the start. By the end I was eating a can of tuna and small packet of frozen steamed vegetables for meals and not losing weight. Still wasn't done and lost a lot of strength.
Eventually got up to close to 230 again, last year.
Then dieted down to 202 with no cardio over 12 weeks, ending this February. Didn't lose much strength. Probably about 10-15kg off 1RM bench.
Then went up to 210 over the four months, about half lost strength has returned but still some fat gain. Eating habits were again relaxing so, now on a four week diet to come back down to 202ish without losing too much of the strength.
Aim to be under 200 by the end of the year. My goal is to be at 170-180kg bench press and under 90kg (and natural).
Realistically speaking, I would need to be at least down to 185 to be properly lean.
I'm essentially trying to cycle dieting with some periods relaxed eating habits to come down.
Being fat is a disgusting feeling. I don't care what other people think, I find it personally quite uncomfortable.
-
Being fat is quite uncomfortable. When I permabulked, I frayed the crotch area of three pants. I was always sweating and stunk. I also got out of breath and sweat when eating.

Nearly every permabulker has "semblance of abs" and is 20% bodyfat.

Only by accident...

You can gain the same amount of muscle from eating 500 cals over your maintenance as you can eating 2000 over.
You don`t even need to be in a surplus to gain muscle. As long as protein is high enough is all that matters.

Im not arguing mate, Im of the same opinion in some sense.
Even in a deficit you are not in deficit for the entire day, once you have a meal you are going to be in a surplus for a while and will have the capability of adding new tissue.
And whilst the body has fat stores available are you ever really in a total deficit of available energy?

Only if you find yourself in a Concentration Camp.
I never understood what the extra 200-500 calories above maintenance were supposed to do anyways, especially when protein is already accounted for. Its just another meme that needs to die. I read a few studies recently about lifters in a deficit vs those in a surplus and those in a deficit gained a little more muscle while losing fat whereas the others gained muscle, but did not lose fat-some gained fat.
DIE MYTH!
-
I'm 6'3'' with wide hips and very long limbs. Permabulking ruins my lines almost instantly, I just don't put on enough muscle to offset the fat gain. I try to stay no higher than 15%.
-
I'd imagine that the best case scenario is to bulk naturally and then take tren ace and recomp
I'd bet that you could stay roughly the same weight while recomping drastically
too bad that I've given up the gear coz it would be cool to test this theory
the first time I ran tren ace solo I did recomp, staying the same weight but dropped body fat from 12 to 7
