Slim or Bulk?!?!?

[Julio Ceasar]

Whats the best thing. I have tried both. Ripped is far far harder to be. Bulk is easy, happy life, train less eat what the fuck u want whenever u want...

No more, no less girls no matter how u look...well, a little bit more hello and smile when your slim

Food taste better when your slim...you enjoy it more. But then...u can't really enjoy it bcz when u eat a lot u know u will need 3-4 dags to get back on track again...

I guess life is better bulky, all people are fat - they can't be wrong...u can have dinner outside all the time, have candy n snacks front of tv. bbq etc etc...I guess bulk is the way...

THERE IS A MENTAL CONFLICT ABOUT STAYING IN SHAPE...IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?

When you not in shpae it not just body that is not in shape but mind and brain too! you call bulk i call lzay and no energy to do what you need in gym and out but also outside! STAY IN SAHPE AND DO EXERCISEs. food taste same how you say milk is not milk if you are fat or not fat it is always same food you make up things just go to gym eat food but not to much food so you get lazy and loose mind and shape

Depends on goals. You can't stay "ripped" all year round, it serves no purpose except for ego and if you're natural makes it damn near impossible to add muscle plus it's damn near an eating disorder. You can be just as healthy if not more at a little heavier weight than you can if you were "ripped".

I'm gonna make this answer easy for a lot of you


WOMEN DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE FAT, SKINNY, RIPPED OR PERMABULKED---THEY WILL STILL FUCK YOU



so, with all that prefaced people should choose a body type that will allow them to go on and try and enjoy there life


the only people the above doesn't pertain to are people who are legit, competitive physique athletes

None of that is true at all, especially for a natural.  Go tell that to Jeff Cavalier and watch him laugh in your face.

That's an excuse to be out of shape and permabulking year round

[dj181]

figure out at which body fat you look best at and stay there

I'm at 8/9% all year, it's not hard if you're not a fat ass.

I have no idea who jeff cavalier is but bring him on so we can discuss it.

Why do you want to be ripped or shredded?  It doesn't look good at all.  You look sick and weird.  12% is best and pretty easy to maintain.

On the flip side why would you want to bulk?  It serves no purpose and outside your first year of training you won't gain any appreciable amount of muscle from a bulk.

You'd do much better to focus your energy on addressing your body image disorder.

[Coach is Back!]

Maybe staying at the body fat level where you can see a hint of abs. Like not too ripped and not too bloofy, just healthy athletic easy to maintain without a ton of supplements or obsessive restrictive diet and training. 10 - 15% body fat depending on how you store fat.

12-15 is a good healthy percentage.

Why does anyone want to be ripped or shredded?  It doesn't look good at all.  You look sick and weird.  12% is best and pretty easy to maintain.

Yep, I'm at 15. Will drop some this summer down to about 9/10 but no further.

Why even bother to work out at all?

Well, why do you workout?  Is it to cope with a body image disorder?  OP clearly has one, how about you?

Completely agree, allows you to actually enjoy life while still being happy enough with how you look, I couldn't think of nothing worse than pulling out a plastic box with chicken and rice while your lass and kids enjoy fish and chips or whatever during a day at the coast or microwaving porrige oats in the morning of a Saturday shift at work while the lads are eating a fried breakfast. If your competing or make a living from how you look then fair enough but otherwise is it really worth the hassle?

This.

You feel healthy. Strength and energy levels are great. Face looks lean and calorie restriction extends life.

100% win.
