Why is it?

[Buttsuck]

You are going to extremes here, I never said you had to be that fat. That's overkill.

Well i was fat and im never going above 15% ever again. I was probably 40%.

But if you dont want to be a skinny little bitch like buttsuck he calls you fat

[The True Adonis]

But you still haven't explained why you think you are going to gain more muscle when you are leaner than when you have higher levels of bodyfat. There has to be a scientific rationale behind it, I'm interested in hearing it. Some people do actually come on this boards to learn.

Protein synthesis does not shut off in a caloric deficit.

What is the point of putting extra fat on other then look like shit and getting some strength gains? Really... it is stupid. I learned this from my first year of bodybuilding. I now realize it is best to stay lean. It makes cutting for shows easier and plus your body is always hungry for nutrients. That and it looks better and allows you to appreciate the gains you are making as opposed to being in a cacoon of your own blubber. I didn't realize my chest was lagging when i was fat. Now that i have cut i see it is a weak point i will have to work on. It is smarter and healthier. Continue to be fat and dumb.

If this is what you consider a big guy 

DUHHH YAA HE HURGE!!! 40 inch waist, 50 inch chest, massive 17 inch arms..... I love you people. The propotions are all wrong and off plus it looks terrible and feels bad. I remember when i was fat walking across a parking lot and being out of breath. I was always sweating and i had a double chin. Very akward feeling.

This poor guy would never take his shirt off at the beach

Hahahah indeed. He would be telling everyone he is a bodybuilder though and that he was "bulking" and walk around with ILS.

But people get out of his way at Walmart ! so that makes up for it

Protein synthesis does not shut off in a caloric deficit.

But that still doesn't explain why he says he will grow faster at lower levels of bodyfat.  If there is a maximum amount of muscle that a person can add naturally each year, I don't understand why having less bodyfat is going to increase his rate of muscle grow.  Surely being fat or skinny, you will still add 4/5 pounds of muscle a year.

What I would like to know is WHY MisterMangoo aka Zachary Gates STOLE Dave Palumbos password on getbig and hacked his account??

He has even admitted doing this, so now the question is WHY did he do it?

[Dingleberry]

Well i was fat and im never going above 15% ever again. I was probably 40%.

Ok, so this is personal for you. Now I understand your rationale. You were fat, and you busted your ass and got lean. Good for you man, seriously. Just don't equate being obese as the same as being big and muscular. Very different.
A big fat ass gets even less respect than a thin ripped guy, so you have made progress.

Sorry Kiwi,

This guy owns you.  He is arguably THE BEST Lifetime Natural Pro.

In a severe caloric deficit.....muscle catabolism occurs, regardless of protein synthesis.

Yes of course, but who would use a starvation diet ? even 1500 cals is not anywhere near a starvation diet.

Nobody is in that severe of a deficit. The Top Lifetime Natural Pros all stay under 8 percent.  Some Under 5 percent.

i disagree.

he is muscular but extremely small.

but if that' what he likes, and the look you'd admire, then so be it - nothing wrong about that.

what about john hansen - the natural mr. olympia.  

of course, i wont even mention the best natural of all time - skip lacour.

skip lacour and natural in the same sentence

Sorry about what, you nimrod? I NEVER claimed to be the biggest or best built or anything like that. I've acknowledged time and again that guys like Whateva and Groink look better than me. All I'm telling you and your fans is that I'm not obese like you guys keep saying. 14% bodyfat is not obese. Hopefully you realise that.

BTW, the guy in the pic has a great physique for sure.

HAHAHA, Lord have mercy. Look how big his head is in comparison to his body. That guy is tiny. Either that or he has an Ande the giant head. Anyway, he'll get about 1/50th the respect a guy like Kiwi gets walking around.

yes but unlike some people around here he's carring some muscle.

also i have my doubts about hansen being a lifetime natty.

that dude might be fat but i'll gaurantee you his arms are bigger than 17 inches, i'd bet his forearms alone are close to 16.

[SS]

that dude might be fat but i'll guarantee you his arms are bigger than 17 inches, i'd bet his forearms alone are close to 16.

and i guarantee no one would fuck with that guy

Arturo Gatti would own that fatbody in under 3 minutes.

god your act is getting old man.

[The Squadfather]

i'd smack the living shit out of Arturo Gatti inside of three minutes, tackle him and then run his head into the concrete, 235 pounds vs. 145, easy win for me.

[IceCold]

another thing is : who cares.

maybe this guy plays football or is a powerlifter and could care less about how he looks.  

the only person who cares is TA.

while he's wearing the tighest black shirt he can find (size medium) at the local bar, flexing his arms everytime he raises his drink, people will be laughing at him saying "can you belive that guy thinks he's big", while everyone stares and gets out of the way for the bigger guys like the guy from the above pic.
