I won't bulk/cut anymore beyond 10 pounds. I stay lean all year now. If I want to add size I do it with tren so any fat gains are kept at a minimum.

ulter i thought you parted ways with trenbolone

I did, but that was recent. I don't know if I can really do it or not. If I get a dry spell in my social life I may do it again for 6 weeks.

I don't exactly try, I simply do. You guys bulking and cutting constantly are just wasting your time in my opinion. Unless you are planning to compete there is no need to get fat and there is no need to try to reach 4%. You are just yo-yoing your body up and down for little to no gains and reason.

even if ure planning to compete there is still no reason to get fat in the offseason...

that last sentance i do disagree with though as (in most cases)...you do tend to gain a bit of fat when bulking...but it doesnt need to be much...to gain an appreciable amount of muscle. But yeah usually when one bulks some fatgain is expected, but the muscle mass is the hardest to gain, so i rather have a bit of extra calories to gain that size..i can always diet it off later.

Yep. This simplifies the entire ball game. Nowadays I don't think BF%, but body composition. What's going to allow me to continue to get stronger/grow without being excessive. I believe many people will find if they improve their overall general physical fitness then they will need less bulk in the 'off-season'

i stay lean year round. try to not go above 12%. this year was really good to me. kept my cardio high during my bulk, added 10 pounds, and when i started to lean down i am 6 pounds heavier now than november when i started my bulk (came back from my honeymoon at 177 - left at 180 - and got to 187 by april - i'm 183 now and am as lean as when i was 177). i only run 1 cycle a year too, so my bulk is natural. i cant get fat anymore. i got up to 220 doing that shit in the past. i now stay between 180 and 190 at 5'5".

We have very similar stats,I am 5'6" and stay around 180 at 10% right now 190 or so with a little higher trying to put on a few pounds then cut up again.My head fucks with me too so I cant get too out of control,I am on a fairly strict diet year round.I have been as high as 246 at 5'6" and I was a fat slob so I can see 5'4" 280 for Lee Priest easily.
