When dieting, how do y’all do with being “small”?

[IroNat]

Natties should not try to attain very low bodyfat.

You lose a lot of muscle and look like a concentratiom camp inmate.

Also stop doing exhaustive high volume workouts if you are a natty.

You're small and useless to us now.

 

Never gets old.

I got down to single digit bf last year and was 5'11 184-188.  My permabulker powerlifting buddies all fucked with me about being small, in comparison to their 240-260 fat asses.  Both of these morons thought they would be ripped at 215 at the least.
Fast forward to early this year and one of them tried to get into shape for a cruise he was going on.  He got down to around 200 and still didn't have a drop of muscle definition, just looked like the average guy who plays sports but doesn't even work out.  I mentioned the 215 thing to him and reminded him that he has a minimum of 30lbs to have a visable 6 pack and good muscle definition! LOL!

He has since regained more than half of the weight he lost, as being small was messing with his self esteem no doubt about it! LOL!

The true definition of being "skinny fat".

Seriously!  And the insane thing is that he was wicked strong when he was a fatty, I'm talking 315x5, But once he dropped the weight, you wouldn't even believe he could hit 225! LOL!

Before he dropped any weight, he honestly believed that he would be in shape at 225, and when I told him he wouldn't even be ripped at 200, both him and my other buddy both thought I was insane.  Let's just say they don't like to bring up that conversation anymore HAH!

"Bigorexia".......they look good in a grocery store or WalMart to "regular people", but look like shit to guys like us.

Dieted down,is a rude awakening since they have far less muscle mass than they imagined having.

Guys are so delusional about how they look.  Most if they rated them self on a 1 to 10 scale they would all say 8 and above when they look like gargoyles. Same with physique.

 Guys are in love with the permabulker look thinking they look big in clothes. On the beach they look like complete out of shape garbage. If you want to be lean you have to let go of the ego and just lose the weight. Look at the weight and height of elite sprinters, wrestlers, boxers and MMA guys. Most 5'10" guys are under 170lbs.  This is where permabulkers bring in the NFL.  No, you're not carrying the muscle an NFL running back is. That 5'10" 210lbs running back is pure hard muscle.

 To be in great shape means you're not going to carry a big weight on the scale. When I get really lean I look like nothing in clothes but look decent on the beach. Then again I would never call myself a bodybuilder. To me that's a guy that juices and never shows pictures off the juice.

None of us will ever look as good as Fetterman.
