of course fat and water increase your strength you fucking moron
If fat and water increased your strength, NJ governor, Chris Christie, would be the world's strongest man.
Perma-leaners like you are not only small, they're apparently senseless, too.
Fat and water cushion the joints. They DO NOT increase your strength, genius. Muscle does, however.
But, that's something you won't get getting anytime soon, worried about getting fat.
I'm sorry, I can see now that you are the alpha male. Clearly part of the genetic elite. Please post a pic of your buff swoleness. I'm sure you dwarf everyone on getbig and must be no less than 400lbs of lean mass.
Wrong again, whiny one!
What is it with your apparent inability to read simple sentences? I never claimed to be genetically elite (I do believe I identified myself as an ectomorphic guy). Nor did I ever claim that all the weight I put on my body was lean mass.
Nor did I claim that I was ripped now. I'm not, nor do I need to be.
My entire point, which you and fellow perma-leaner, Anabolichalo, missed by a country mile, is that eating big is a MUST, if mass if your priority. That is especially true, if you started off skinny as I did.
Get the size you need first. Worry about the cuts later. That's how it's been done for generations, hence the term, "off-season".
As Big Ach stated you can go too far in both directions. You can put on too much weight too quickly, resulting in too much bodyfat. You can ALSO do the opposite, making almost no gains in size and mass, being foolishly too preoccupied with being lean 24/7.
Halo is a prime example, hence the reason he keeps putting up dozens of threads, lamenting his smallness and wishing for that perfect steroid stack to let him eat like a bird but get bigger.
Yet, delusional perma-leaners like you think you can do what steroid-using, genetically superior bodybuilders can't: Put on pure muscle all the time and stay lean.
So, you and Halo have decided to remain small and yap about being lean (something I did, back in the day, when faced with guys in the gym who made me look like a smurf).
