During what phase are you most satisfied with the way you look?

[01dragonslayer]

When we cut we feel too small, when we bulk we feel too fat.I myself get discouraged when cutting because the lack of calories and carbs flattens me out and I lose my fullness. Then when I’m mid bulk, my definition fades, along with my abs, and veins. Without that muscle separation and definition I feel like I look smaller, yet soft and somewhat pudgy.

It’s like there’s only a short period of time in between phases where I really like the way I look. I’d say it’s shortly after transitioning from cutting to bulking. The first month or so I’m ramping up my calories and starting to gain my fullness back. I’m lean, yet full and the extra calories haven’t begun to add any noticeable bodyfat yet. To me, this is where I like to be.

I like the way I look early in cutting but love the full feeling when bulking cos I love eating almost as much as I love lifting!!

Without a doubt being lean. I’m done with any big bulks.

I love the way i look year round because im always big full and lean! Theres no need to get fat when bulking if you know what you are doing with your diet you can gain slow and steady while maintaining low bodyfat levels you just have to be meticulous with your approach and determined to follow it through
