Staying really lean year round... who does it?

[healother]

So does anyone here stay just completely ripped all 12 months of the year? We're talking abs and everything.

I know a lot of folks like to bulk in the winter time, so that they can gain muscle, but I wonder if thats the only reason they do it.

Honestly I think a good part of the reason why people arent lean year round is because they dont have the willpower to do it. They need their break where they can eat what they want for a few months.

I have a hard time finding people that have stayed real lean for many years, and who still have a decent amount of muscle on them.

4 is decent. I'm thinking like those who have a defined 6 or something year round.
Do you cut down in the summer at all? or do you just stay the same year round?

where do you live? I'm in MN right now and its about that temperature here as well. it sucks too cuz i live with my parents and they love to have the temp in the house turned real low (they also both have much more natural padding than i do) so im cold a lot of the time.

Yeah your pics motivate my ass...

My weight varies less than five pounds throughout the year. Although, somdays it looks like I swallowed a butterball turkey. It's not hard to do, just takes a little disclipline. Maybe I don't have the fat genes though, i was a skinny kid

LOL....yeah me too. But Nov to March I also look like I'm smuggling a pair of soccor balls in my panties.

 

[caliboy]

hell no! my wieght flucuates by at least 30 pounds during the year. I dont have the desire to be always on the diet to stay super lean, and my age and gentics are not to the lean side.

 

[Neo22]

I have a 6 pack and striations throughout my delts year round

keeping the same weight year round is easy, having a defined six pack is harder.

i think people like you have it easy ectomorph build.

I wonder if there are any endos that pull this off.

yeah, i think the temptation to pack on some pounds is higher in states where the temp is colder outside in the winter!

one of two ways:

You are a skinny puke that only does abs.

You juice

Try to argue otherwise.

you seem lean. I have no idea what percentage you are though. hard to tell because you are a bigger guy, and are flexing in the pics.

I guess by really lean, I mean like 6-8% bodyfat for guys (accurately tested).
