Anybody else...

[dood]

get annoyed with getting bigger? I like it but when it comes to wearing clothes it sucks. I have to get new pants often and I hate shopping. Some people love it but I am getting kind of annoyed.

 

[bignate73]

my "getting bigger", as of right now, is annoying because my ass is growing a bit.....and my waist....ugh!

put on some shorts that were looser last year, comfy a while ago...now "booty" shorts. damn!

 

[spatts]

I'm kind of tired of it. Next February I'm considering going off of all sups, taking some time off, maybe even cutting to see what's under all this pudge. I'm sure I'll be sick and tired of that crap after 12 weeks, but the anabolic rebound should be sweet, and will help me get ready for NEXT year's IPAs.

 

[NWinters]

im cutting ...only a little bit. My goal is to be 190-200 lbs.

 

[Cuthbert]

I'm trying not to get any bigger... Right now I'm carrying 200-205 lbs, and I compete in 198 class in powerlifting, 200 in strongman... and I really don't want to go up in weight classes.

Cutting may be around the corner.. but probably not

 

[NWinters]

Cuthbert, you should stay at 198 and be like Brad Pitt!!!!

i am bulking right now

 

[queena_82]

I really don't want to get get any bigger, just lower my body fat. Nothing against girlst that are big...it's just not my thing I like being small.

Same here. I've already invested in a few pairs of windpants with the elastic waistband to get me by all these added pounds. As each day passes, I'm learning to embrace it.

Try being big in Britain, 100 times as hard to get clothes and shoes that fit.

 

[phatman42]

At the moment i want to just stay at the same weight but get stronger.... so fat it's happening so i'm happy.

Although i'm feeling rather the same as you spatts, there's an adonis hiding under this blubber

 

[Cuthbert]

Cuthbert, you should stay at 198 and be like Brad Pitt!!!!

I plan on it.

I have a few things I'd like to accomplish at a lighter weight... plus I really dont just like the thought of putting on more weight, especially since my body just wants me to be a fat kid

Yer, very true, im going to cut soon because its incredibly difficult to find clothes without going to the freak shops

 

[BIGJGrimm]

Getting bigger does suck. my legs are realy big and short so finding pants is tough, sometimes i have to get two or more sizes bigger than i need. Getting shirts is no picnic either, 3xl's or 2xl's talls are hard to find because every 15 year old who wieghs 84lbs bought them already. But, id rather be big then dwendall down to "normal".

later........

I just went pants shopping this weekend. BRUTAL! I can still pull off a 32'' waist, but I now need a 34-36 for my ass and thighs. I've always worn Structure/Express pants; they've always been good to guys with junk in the trunk Even so, I couldn't get half the 34's over my thighs.

What do you guys do? Do you fit the waist and wear ass pants, or do you fit the ass and deal with the loose waist?

Yep most shops stop at about 44 inch chest, and they are cut for fat bastards as well, finding a shoe over a size 11 (12 us) is a bloody nightmare.

 

[kingc_79]

i wann be bulking now but its not goin so well. i'd like tp put on another 15lbs

 

[endpoint]

finding a shoe over a size 11 (12 us) is a bloody nightmare.

really? even in australia all our major brands and US brands (nike, adidias, Brooks etc etc as well as dress shoes)
all come in 12, 13, 14, 15 and rare (i have seen a few asics) in 16/17
there are no half sizes at this range though (unless you have a shoe company sponsership)

as for shirts......same down here.......the fat sloppy cut shirts. almost everything else is designed for camp dance party goers, with 12" arms (hulk arm flex is very possible)

 

[TheOak84]

ya it kinda sux because a medium shirt is too small for my shoulders and a large fits fine but is really long...

i need the store Lee Priest shops at

 

[gmanlax7]

spatts can you explain the anabolic rebound a bit

does this come with fat loss ?

 

[Cuthbert]

I'm assuming that once the body is used to dieting/reduced calories for a period of time, it's gonna be ready to put on some mass once you up the calories.

 

[gmanlax7]

well said

 

[LifterCA]

Funny this topic came up as I have grown out of all my shirts. They look like muscle shirts. I love it becuase I have NEVER been an L-XL in shirts.

 

[faller]

I just went pants shopping a few days ago. Was actually kinda funny. I needed dress pants, but the stylish flat-front don't fit if you have any amount of leg muscle. So I put on these pleated ones that fit great! And proceeded to sing "can't touch this!". I left with some very large-waisted pants. And a shorter leg (I guess I'm shrinking! Watch those heavy squats guys!).

 

[dood]

The weird thing is I train for strength. And I seem to be gaining more size than strength.

 

[dg21]

Last time I bought dress pants I had to get some insanly large waist, like high 40's, with triple pleates. Then I had to have the waist taken in so they would fit. My brother and I have to share a dress shirt because we have only found one that will fit. Shopping for nice clothes really sucks. I'd rather wear sweat pants and a T-shirt.
