Big or lean?

Lean and muscular. At any age.

Don't dirty bulk, you'll just end up looking fat for a few months.

Do a lean mass phase and gain 5-10 lbs over the course of 2-5 months.

Lean.

Fat is really not worth it.
I used to be skinny, then I got skinny fat after a bulk. Never again.

At 16?

Eat healthy. Sleep well. Do your homework. Wake up early. Study. Don't be a shithead to your parents, teachers, or friends.

Oh yeah, lifting? It's PART of your athleticism, but don't focus too much on it. PLAY at lot of non-impact sports. Enjoy life. Don't be fat.

Lean should be your Basic Requirement when it comes to Fitness. Adding Big, muscle-wise, is a bonus.

At 16 and in your first 2 years of Lifting, you can add 15-20 lbs of muscles if you can lift right consistently and eat clean in discipline. Hope that helps.

Big first then lean out.

Lean looks good naked. Big looks good.

Are you naked a lot of the time?

You are 16. Get bigger and join the fucking football team.

If you're natty, get big and put on some fat. I'd say sit at around 15% body fat. You'll look full, have size and will still have visible muscularity.

If you're on juice, get shredded. You'll be lean and your muscles will still look round.

I don't understand people's obsession with being lean as natties when it makes u weaker and u look smaller. Some fat on your body is not a crime.
