Which one is harder: Bulking or cutting?
If you are 20% bodyfat or above, will you look bigger cutting instead of bulking?
retard question, eating is easy, eating less is harder.
ill make this one easy:
low body fat, big visible muscles= you look big and muscular
muscles covered in thick layer of fat= you look fat as fuck.

Whatever your body is used to is going to be what's "easiest".
If you're a skelly who's never eaten more then 1500 cal a day, forcing yourself to hit 4000 is going to be torture.
The same thing if your a fatty trying to cut.

Bulking correctly is harder than just cutting. Stuffing yourself with food is easier than losing weight.

How come he looks worse after his bulk?
>I know it wasn't an actual bulk
But he should have more muscle after carrying all that weight around no?
>>34935542
hes not leaning as far forward in the third pic as the the first

>If you are 20% bodyfat or above, will you look bigger cutting instead of bulking?
You will look bigger cutting, since you'll add definition.
If you continue to bulk while over 20% bf, you'll just look fat.
Which is harder? They're both the same. You need to have to same intensity in your workouts no matter what.
Of course you won't make progress while cutting, but your strain/ exertion should be the same.

>he got fatter than I was at my worst before getting fit
>no loose skin like me
>no stretch marks like me
IT'S NOT FAIR REEEEEEEEEE

this shit right here.
>>34933868
working out on a cut is definitely harder and it takes longer to recover on a calorie deficit
>>34935468
Finally someone who gets it
"bulking is hard" is stupid and comes from the same argument as "i cant lose weight because of my genetics"
>>34936035
>finding lifestyle change difficult is stupid
???
>>34935468
this
Seriously, what do you eat to get >2000 kcal ?
>>34935580
it is actually "fair", clearly he did a dirty bulk and everything but his skin was probably in a better condition than yours when he started his bulk and he probably didn't try to loose everything asap.
>>34936098
a lot
>>34936112
this wasn't some planned dirty bulk
he's a PT who did this as a marketing gimmick basically. he stopped working out and ate like shit on purpose to have the experience of getting back into shape from a fat starting point

Before I was diabetic, I could drop 2k in a sitting, no problem.
>>34933868
Bulking is wayyyy harder. It's easy as fuck to not eat.
>>34936098
i think eating about even on cals is pretty easy, something like 1500-2000 but getting more or less than that, consistently gets really old
I have a seriously fucked up stomach so bulking is immensely harder for me.
>>34936035
>exercise burns calories
>sitting on your ass doesn't give extra calories
>stomach capacity is limited
>eat too much and throw up
But gee, hitting 3000 sure is easy
>>34935542
he didn't exercise during his weight gain
>>34933868
cutting is so much harder. thats why i keep putting it off
>>34933868
Cutting is impossible when it seems that everyone around me is eating just as much as I am and yet that's clearly not the case as here I am at 238 lbs.
Also you gain weight quicker than losing fat
I bulked from skinnyfat to even bigger skinnyfat. Hate the extra fat now so gonna cut in january.
>>34937739
this is why i'm cutting while lifting as a skinny fat. Bulking while skinny fat is the worst idea ever - you build muscle faster but end up fat, meaning you have to cut for even longer and your gains will slow down a lot and you could end up losing muscle too.
>>34937097
You can increase the capacity of your stomach by eating more.
>>34935419
Not eating is intrinsically easier because it requires less work
Youre just a fat piece of shit who cant practice his fork putdowns x f
cutting is easy
cutting below 15% bodyfat is hard as fuck cause the gains come much slower
>>34938636
Eating feels good, not eating does not.
>>34933868
He looks great but those are some weird ass chest genetics.
>>34938114
Good plan anon.
i cut down from probably 22% down to about 12%. Bulking back up at 15% currently. The several month cut was worth it
