Lean/shredded vs Big

nobody cares if you’re 11% bodyfat but can’t fill out a t shirt

Fuck what girls prefer.

Get stronger and leaner for yourself.

Shredded, assuming you have Been lifting awhile and have decent mass to make it worth it. Bench 1.5x bw for reps, squat 2x bw, etc.

If you’re just skinny with minimal muscle - get big.

I do agree you look small in clothing when natty and shredded ... but wear fitted clothe.

The facial aesthetics of being lean are worth it by themselves

A skinny guy with abs is like a fat chick with big tits.

Both.

That's why you bulk and cut.

It depends. In my personal experience a fat slob who is strong is still a fat slob. Your face aesthetics can really take a hit if you’re on some massive bulk. Just build a decent foundation of muscle than cut, you don’t have to be shredded as such but stay around 10-12%.

Shredded but wear fitted clothing. If you are bulking and want to look good in any clothing you are gonna have to face the problem of putting on mass on your face when bulking

Shredded no doubt

goldenpoopstain · 2020-02-25T10:34:41+00:00

Shredded. Just make sure you've added ample mass so you don't look like a twig boy.

DatRiggz · 2020-02-28T00:55:50+00:00

Big.

17% last time I checked.

Training for 13 years. 101 kg at 6 foot.

And my top 4 abs still show. I still look good despite being 17% body fat. It depends where your body stores fat and how much muscle mass you have

StudentCPA · 2020-02-24T17:22:18+00:00

Depends on how your face holds fat. I'm personally lucky in that my face doesn't really hold much fat so I stay a little higher body fat (~16-18%) and look big in clothes. It also works out because I live in a state that is cold/rainy 9 months out of the year anyways. I do usually cut down to about 12% for the summer though when it is nice to have abs for the beach.

Nobody cares about your abs in the jungle.
