Ottermodefag here.
How do you permabulks live with yourself, knowing that your functional strength almost never has any purpose outside of competition.
Your enlarged bodyparts doesn't exactly scream physical fitness.
Don't get me started on what the opposite/same sex thinks of your appearance.
As someone who's never really struggled with weight loss, I find myself unable to relate. Could some bulkmode guys give me their honest opinion of why they continue to just increase calories and shoot for unnecessary strength gains (non-competitors)? or do you guys believe it gives off an alpha vibe to have 20% bodyfat.

actual ottermode here
lets face it bro.. ottermode is for men who are unable/lazy to get big..
honestly, if you had the option to choose to be either bearmode or otter mode, what would you pick?
every man secretly wishes he was a giant morherfucking bear killer with big ass arms and strength of a bull..
maybe in real life otter mode is what bitches prefer.. and clothes fit you nicely.. and you can do 15 pull ups..
but deep inside we all hope that 120kg beast thats just passed you in the mall doesnt decide to slap yo gfs ass
men just like to be big and strong
>>36669815
Husbando mode is better than any animal kin faggot mode
>>36670302
I'm perfectly comfortable being small, and having the stamina to outperform most beastmen in endurance sports.
I'm not really ottermode though, I'm a bit more built than that. Just never felt the desire to go full hulkbulk. Not even once.

>why they continue to just increase calories and shoot for unnecessary strength gains (non-competitors)
How do I put this in a way that you get... Bro, being strong feels good man. Each time I set foot in the gym I resolve to lift heavier weights than I did before, and each time I do it I feel fucking amazing.
Looking good in a shirt helps too (assuming you're not Ronnie-level huge). Generally people give you a certain level of respect just for being big, too.
>I mainly do it for myself, but I'd be lying if I said I don't appreciate the fringe benefits.
>>36670426
? You don't want to kill big bears and lift big weights? Get the fuck outta here faggot
>>36670302
Yeah that really isn't true. There might be some novelty to it, like if I could be bearmode for a day that would be cool, but for the long term I'd much prefer to have stamina, energy and aesthetics. Also, I may not be able to lift as heavy of weights, but being smaller than bearmode doesnt automatically mean you won't have any functional strength.
>>36670302
You can stay lean and build muscle over time without carrying around a heap of disgusting fat. Bear mode is more lazy imo because guys will use it as an excuse to overeat, not do any cardio, and walk around thinking they are some pinnacle of fitness when in reality it's just a fatty that wouldn't give up his Mountain Dew Dorito lifestyle.
>knowing that your functional strength almost never has any purpose outside of competition.
Lmao
effeminate cuck office worker spotted
also have you ever moved?
Or just had to carry heavy stuff?
>>36670502
>Mountain Dew Dorito lifestyle.
I'd say we have very different opinions on what OP meant by bear mode.
>>36669815
>knowing that your functional strength almost never has any purpose outside of competition
yeah maybe if you're a hipster faggot who lives in the centre of a city in a flat

>not going for ascended ottermode
>>36669815
I want to see a picture of you OP
> ottermode hurrrrr
most likely a skelly
> bearmode
most likely a fatty
not saying that actual otter mode and bear mode people are skellies or fatties, just the post who claim to be so on /fit/
Also, why not fucking athlete mode? more strength than otter mode, and more endurance than bearmode
>>36670540
>do you guys believe it gives off alpha vibe with 20% body fat
Absolutely not. Jesus is this /fit/ or /fat/?
>>36670320
disagree
OP here. I didn't mean anything hostile, to bears or otters, just trying to weigh the benefits of both.
All of my friends are bear, rather pseudo-bear compared to >>36670540 . They give me a hard time for just being a toned guy, who can lift decent numbers for my weight because my body type is more like maxx chewning than arnold.
There might be some bitterness in my post though. Just sick of being told I need to be a hulk to "have made it".
>>36669815
To be honest OP, the feeling lifting more and more gives me a huge ego boner. Could give a fuck less what other people think I do this for me. Pushing around weight for reps that other people can't even move feels amazing.
>>36669815
>>36670302
also ottermode here, and I gotta say >>36670478
has a point. I'm ottermode because I only started lifting again about 4 months ago. I'm 5'10 and 148 currently sitting pretty at right around 9%bf (will post pics if asked but idk why necessary) and this is all because I used to be a personal trainer, but I just naturally don't eat a lot, so when I stopped lifting the first time, my years of gains melted away in literal months.
The point is, I'm lifting because I wanna look like motherfuckering Superman. It's not about Ottermode vs Bearmode, they're both extremes on opposite ends of the spectrum
when will you faggots learn its all about balance?
we're all gonna make it bro
>>36671247
I like your style
why did you stop lifting for months?
post pic just cause
> we're all gonna make it
>>36671247
>ottermode is extreme
dude?
>>36670466
>ronnie
>bearmode
dude they are opposites, many bearmode guys have arms as big as him tho due to all the fat
>>36670338
>>36670302
Why do you have to prefer one? I really, really can't say which one I'd rather be.
There's too many factors to be taken into count and they are not all comparable with eachother, your physical fitness and health, your raw strength, what women prefer, what makes you a good fighter, you can look at it from so many angles that I could never decide one is definitely better than the other.
>>36671247
pics?
isn't ottermode basically just cardio and eating less?
>>36671446
lol you're not gonna believe it, but I got a gf. And then she got pregnant, we aborted it, moved in together, etc. then she ended up cheating on me after I lost all my gains literally complaining about how I used to look so amazing
>"wow anon what happened"
>you did you fucking gains goblin bitch
so yeah, needless to say the internalized self loathing and anger drove me back to the gym, im pretty proud of my progress doe
>>36671448
i said ottermode vs bearmode are just two opposite extremes, why wouldnt you wanna look like a fucking super hero??
>>36671842
and here are some pics, prolly gonna regret this lol
>>36671868
would post more pics, but I don't wanna show my face on here and don't feel like taking the time to black out my face, I'm already running late for the gym
>>36671852
Decent rounded shoulders
Defined pecs
Abs
That's about it.
You should basically look like you just do Push-ups and situps all day
>>36671868
>why wouldnt you wanna look like a fucking super hero??
Superman is ugly, bro
>>36671868
>>36671879
nah u look good. similar goal to what i'm aiming for
>>36671868
>>36671879
btw if anyone could give me some feedback, I know this isn't a CBT but for starting from 130lb skelly how am I doing for about 14 weeks?
can 6'5 into bearmode?
>>36671905
You see the recent movie?
Look like batman if you don't want to look like supper guy.
Cap. America is sexy too
>>36671933
Only if you're willing to into roidmode.
But if you are you'll be the best bearmode.
is this bullshit?
>>36671940
I would ask if you're a faggot but we're on /fit/ so...
>>36671992
I can mire Captain America and still bang my girlfriend m8
>>36671868
you look damn good familia, should maybe hit your back more tho
>>36672012
At the same time I presume?
>>36672026
lats and lower back
>>36672036
>>36672026
>>36671908
thanks m8s, honestly thought i was gonna post pics and just get shit on, so fuck yeah thanks for the motivation
and yeah I know my lats are lagging, desu i hit them the hardest out of all my back routines, but I need to get more intense on them outside of chin ups and lat pulldowns. Any advice here would be awesome
Also I'm switching today from PPL 2x a week to a Full Body routine, wish me luck.
I'll be back in a few hours, keep lifting bros, we're all gonna make it.
>>36671960
not necessarily. Any guy can get ottermode from just cutting, high amounts of HIIT bodyweight training.
>>36672035
Who else am I supposed to think about during sex?
I mean other than Brad Pitt.
>>36671960
Anything by Niela "Meme" Ray is.
>>36669815
Being ottermode and 6'0+ is GOAT.
>be ten minutes ago
>wearing pic related
>pumping gas
>watching as a qt with super dark hair gets out of her car
>looks at me and gives the up down up down look
>drops her phone
I admire big guys though.
>>36674481
t. an insecure meathead
>>36674481
You look like a twink
>>36669815
>Don't get me started on what the opposite/same sex thinks of your appearance.
Both "bear" and "otter" are originally gay terms though, that refer to a sexualised body type. So I think gay bears would do fine.
>>36674481
DYEL?
>>36670478
i'd like to see some proof that any of those fat fucks have actually ever killed anything without the use of firearms
>sitting on their cat doesn't count
>>36670338
it's fun to lift things up and put them down
it's even more fun to lfit bigger things up and put them down
bearmode is required for fun
>>36672035

>>36674516
Thx
>>36674555
Ayy bby
>>36674709
I lifted ur mum on my dick last night. Does that count?
Legit bear mode is hard to find. Most are just really fat guys. Real bear mode is God-tier though. Especially if their bone structure is Neanderthal. Thick wrists and such.
