So I've been going to the gym and lifting for about 3.5 years now. Gaining from 130 to 166 pounds now, very lean with abs and everything. Benching 265 in one rep - so I'm pretty happy with my results and women like it as well.

But recently I've been talking about this with some gym fellas of mine, some of them who gained up until 215-220 pounds they all mention how people treat and look differently on you after you get really big, and that it's better than being really shredded.

The best pic to describe this shape is probably this one: https://imgur.com/HcoEm85

So just wanted to ask some redpillers with similar experience - gaining a lot muscle (well maybe it works the other way and someone noticed it after losing a lot) - have you noticed the same, how did it change your life? Depending on that I'm thinking maybe I should try bulking heavy this season too :)

Thanks
