Competing w/o chunking up?

[Swole_2112]

I read an article years ago by Lee Haney about an up and comming bodybuilder (don't remember the name) who he was training for competition. The focus of the article was how Haney was training this guy without having him chunk up in the off season. It's been so long since I read the article that I don't remember the details. I know this is contrary to popular approach to bodybuilding, but anybody ever heard of this kind of thing before? Maybe even tried it?

you mean stay lean in the off-season?

its not new... some bodybuilders (juniours that i know are about 10-12 year in the off-season)

look at dexter jackson he is lean all the time..

I consider myself fairly lean off-season and I still have to lose 30 lbs to get to the 5-6% it takes to win.

Stats: 5'10", 225 lbs, approx 10% BF.

Could I put on more size in the off season while staying lean and being on cycle? I'm on AAS constantly. I'd like to put on more size, but stay reasonably lean (10% BF) while doing it.

of course,

bulking doesnt mean fattening


you can add lbm if thats your goal
