You grow (and look) much better when lean.
Prove it bro
The human body will grow just as well when your at 15% as you do at 8%. I know I know.. nutrient partioning is bette at lower bf
, but people who say they grow better when leaner are growing better when leaner cause they just got done dieting! Of course you will gain muscle dramatically the first few weeks of upping calories after doing a prolonged calorie restricted diet. No shit! Just like orals stop working as well the first few weeks and just like the first 6 weeks of a steroid cycle are when you make the best gains, then it slows down. That's common sense man law of diminshing returns.
But if I had two guys do a 16 week offseason after a show on the same drugs , do you think by week 12 that one guy who is at 9% is going to grow any better than a guy at 15%? I doubt it. As for the nutrient partioning effect, I dont buy it either. Especially when one is swimming in pharmaceuticals..steroid
s help nutrient partioning anyways. Even on a good dose of test, I would have to try very hard to get over 15%. If you truly get FAT on a good dose of anabolic steroids and weight training a couple times a week, and not eating like an asbolute slob than gawd help you. I know some guys feel they might grow better on a post show rebound, I cant argue it as I havent been in contest shape at 4% so I don't know maybe their right. But I do know that there are just as many drug abusing permabulkers walking around with as much muscle on their frame as regular competitors. Never said it was gonna be pretty

"For 90% of guys..especially white fellas, it's impossible to grow while staying lean . It worked for Kevin but that was after many years of trial and error, secondly your not Kevin. Bulk now, cut later,,this is concept people dont understand"
