I’d expect somebody seriously into body building to say some s*** like this

Gettin huge is stupid. You have to work endlessly to look that way and practically live for your muscles lol.

Having an aesthetically pleasing athletic muscle tone look that’s not hard to keep up and is functional on a daily basis makes far more sense. It’s even been shown to be the most favorable look amongst women

i was just playing lmao

but yeah, i'd somewhat agree with you on being more functional and have an aesthetic physique as opposed to being mass monster. i think most people's perception of what an aesthetic physique varies a lot though. like, physiques i thought were amazing in my first 1-2 years of training seem very mediocre to me now

To answer the first reply, athlean x has been proving to be wrong on so much s*** except his sport performance content.

This second post is just not true. Your body only knows two things in regards to building a physique, muscle building and fat composition. No such thing as working on ‘muscle tone’. Next, genetics are the name of the game. I can guarantee you that you will never be so big that you look unappealing naturally. Even the top tier men’s open olympians were barely cracking 200 lbs natty. S***, even Jeff cavaliers muscularity is unachievable for a lot of men naturally and a decent proportion while on exogenous hormones. The idea of ‘oh you’re going to get too big and gross’ is the most uninformed concept ever. The truth is, the ‘athletic’ aesthetic look you’re talking about is built under the SAME principles of muscle building. Get big(build muscle) and stay relatively lean. If your goals are to have any kind of decent muscle mass on that ‘athletic look’ you best believe you’re going to have to dedicate a lot of time and have a ‘get big’ mentality. Even Zyzz, who wasn’t that ‘big’ was juiced to the gills and 110% dedicated to the gym. Also in regards to favorable look to women, again I guarantee you no amount of muscle you can put on naturally will ever be gross to women. S***, even on roids most men will never be big enough to be disgusting to most women. Arnold never had a problem with women at 6’2 240. The golden era men always had women fawning over them at 220+ lbs lean. S***, even most classic physique guys today when they’re not pealed out of their minds would be attractive to most women. You’re conflating the top men’s open 250+ lbs mass monsters with bodybuilding and that’s just not even in the realm of possibility for most men.

In terms of diet, do i HAVE to get a form of meat in a day to successfully bulk? Or as long as i hit my surplus and macros ill be good?

Cause im 200 cals away from hittin it and hit my protein goals but i havent eaten meat all day

Hi Roller

5y

what do u eat if not meat? cottage cheese?

Close mostly yogurt, hella nuts, 2 PBJs and a sunbutter gelato shake with hella protein. And 2 protein shakes so far one wit whole milk. i forgot my chipotle at home.

My surplus is literally only 2,600 tho so maybe i can get aay with it. All i know is im hungry as hell still and imma tear up my chipotle. Prolly go waay over caloric surplus tho but since im underweight idc

Hi Roller

since im the amateur nutritionist ITT my argument against that would be meat is the most complete source of protein.

but if u eat a lot sources of protein, they will together form a complete source of protein.

either way u good

Bett yea im getting hungrier and hungrier as the weeks go by. Aint no way im gonna be caught lacking like this again. I need to be FULL

Hi Roller

5y

do u want to be hungry all the time? i guess its beneficial if ur trying to bulk

Worldpremiere_

Yeah, more of a health thing tho. The bulk is just the plus. I HAVE to be hungry all the time. When i wasnt always hungry i pretty much let myself wither away. Literally my weight was pretty anorexic type ish and i didnt even notice or realize it. im surprised i was still functioning.
