yes and I finally got over it this summer. now I need to take the next big boy step and do a proper bulk. not comitting to one or the other made me waste years.
I have shit fat distribution in my face (chubby cheeks) so even slight bulks are a severe detriment to me looks wise
>once you notice the mires you get from looking healthy you'll never want to bulk again
no gains mentality
I'm still accumulating gains, just not stuffing myself cause its not my thing. I'll probably have to bulk in the long run once my progress slows down though
You bite the bullet and cut. My ability to cut sucks dick, I always lose at least 5 lbs of muscle. But regaining muscle is easier than gaining it for the first time and I hate feeling 'chubby'
is it better to be small but ripped, or big but 17% bf?
you gotta decide that for yourself.
I'd rather be lean. I'm close to 11% rn and my face is visibly thinner. But i'm getting worried because my smile lines are getting deeper.
Do it and stop being worried what other people think. I'm on a cut and going through laser hair removal. When I take off my shirt, I look like a 14 year old boy struggling with puberty, and I'm 31.
If you're gonna let fear of others cripple you, you may as well just give up altogether
we're the same age bro
do you notice your face wrinkles/smile lines getting deeper the leaner you get?
I'm hoping when I go back to maintenance calories the extra water weight will make then fade a little, but I hate how old I look when I'm lean
no, im not mentally ill.
post body so we can evaluate retard
>want to get stronger
>afraid to look fat
>keep maintaining

maingaining if you are a newbie is fine, but after 1 to 2y, you gotta bulk
Nope I gave up on being big and now want to eliminate all no pretty fat so I can be cuter.
You sound like a homosexual
Extremely gay btw.
Straight btw.

You dont have to bulk to the moon, maingain for 1.5y to 2y and ride the newbie gains. Then cut to 10 to 12% and bulk at most to 18% after that.
just cut it fatty
Yeah. I used to be morbidly obese. Whenever I joke to people that I'm heavy they are like "tf u talking about, ur light af".
no cap? you light af rn fr

Why would anyone cut or bulk ever after initially droping to 12-15%?
Just roon more
Just lift more
Just dont eat goyslop, and eat plenty of protein
any time you cut you'll end up being objectively smaller but give the illusion that you're bigger

Nah, I was a fat boy, so cutting makes me look younger. I'm 160 rn, trying to hit 150.
holy shit how short are you lmao
Just barely 6ft even. Astoundingly average
No wonder you look like a 14 year old boy.
