How Come Most People Are In A Rush To Get Ripped???

[THE BOUNCER]

WHY IS IT THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE IN SUCH A RUSH TO GET RIPPED, BUT DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT GETTING BIG? IT USED TO BE THAT GETTING BIG WAS THE WAY TO GO. NOW ALL PEOPLE WANT TO DO IS GET RIPPED. I COMPETE AT A NATIONAL LEVEL AND GETTING RIPPED IS A NECESSITY DURING THE RIGHT SEASON. IN THE OFF SEASON I BALLOON ALMOST UP TO 300 LBS AT 6'1. TO BE HONEST THAT IS MY HAPPIEST TIME. WHEN I AM CUT UP FOR A SHOW I FEEL LIKE SHIT. THE POINT I AM TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT YOU HAVE TO BUILD A STRONG SOLID FOUNDATION AND EVEN PUT ON SOME FAT, THEN CUT IT ALL UP. TO BE HONEST I ONLY STAY RIPPED ABOUT 4 1/2 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. THE REST OF THE TIME I AM CONCENTRATING ON HOW MUCH QUALITY MUSCLE I CAN GAIN FOR THE NEXT SHOW.

There's no doubt being 300lb. is fun and the happiest weight you'll be. But like said earlier, chicks dig the ripped dude at 220lb.

A quote from a wise man that will help clear this question: What's the Golden Rule? The guy with the gold rules! - meaning, its really not how ripped or big you are, its the guy that has the fat pocket book gets all the chicks. That's why I say, get big as fuck.

I can see the hard work.

I love being big, dont get me wrong, but if I go above 9% I smooth out so much that I can't see all the results from that last training phase.

I range between 6%-15%, and to be honest I prefer being around 8% because I look alot larger when the dimensions and general details are showing. My biceps have a higher peak when the bodyfat isin't filling in the spaces around my delts, and the greater v-taper helps the impression that much more. I still get large in the offseason, but I can't wait ( WEIGHT ) till I can walk around 300 lbs. plus reguardless of my condition.

P.S. I was raised italian, so dieting will never be fun, but I chose to be a bodybuilder, and so I do the best I can with what Ive got. Anyway, there will always be another offseason eventually.

I don't get it either. The question was answered in this post though. As expected the majority to reply thus far said for the chicks. There is undoubtidly two different schools the bodybuilding. Those who are serious bodybuilders with ambitions to compete, not only on stage but with themselves. And then there is the ideology of doing it not for ones self, but for others. In my opinion the thoughtless and unrespectable route. This is the very idea that separates the hardcore form the men's health wanna be's...always has been that way. Some want to be massive. For competition purposes and for self satosfyong purposes. Others shallowly want to please others so they do it not for them, but for others. These are the edema-phobics. These are the ones who are afraid to be huge quite honestly. They fear how others will view them. I love the feeling of huge as you do as well. I'm no happier than when I'm fully bulked. Sure the abs arn't there but the ego is. The thrill is. The pride of my accomplishments are grand. Not everyone has the nuts to get massive basically. Not everyone has the ability to look past the "I do it for the chicks" mentality and dig deep within to find the guiding light to do it for themselves. Not everyone wants to be huge or to compete. But for those of us that do strive for elite status as competitive bodybuilders anything less than 110% effort is unimaginable. Anything less than pusing the limits is simply out of the question. It's a fact you must make grand sacrifices to achieve a massive physique. The scariest sacrifice for most to make is giving up the though of ripped abs and the consequence of having the "chicks" think you're a freak. Some can look past what the ladies want. Some do it to fullfill a personal agenda. To compete with ourselves and our limits. I don't understand when some 180 pounder is trying to get ripped. It simply baffles me to no end. Why? Because obviously or goals and ideas are completely opposote. Our notions of bodybuilding are worlds apart. Seems like everyone wants to be huge but they arn't willing to make the sacrifices to get to that state of being. I hate dieting but in all honesty I'm incredibly good at it. Cutting is easier than bulking without a doubt in my mind. True mental toughness is needed to attain the coveted mass.

Fuck being 220lbs ripped and getting chicks. At 300lbs you can grab any girl you want by her hair with one hand and still have your other hand to hold your club just like the cavemen. Then walk into a bar and grab any guy you want by his hair and throw his ass across the room Why have one when you can have the best of two worlds. Well if you didn't know I am one of those 225lbs ripped(well almost ripped) guys but I am working to that 300lbs caveman
