Dieting Mindset f**k summer cut/ why do you train?

[dogg196]

I train to be as get as big as possible and when it comes time to cut down i start to feel insecure about dropping weight although i am getting much more comments on my improved physique and leaness i dont feel as though im progressing toward my goal of becoming a beast.

more of a case of what makes you happy some guys i train with never go over 8% year round. i also don't like people thinking that i only lift to take my shirt off and score girls. i lifted for rugby and couldnt stop.

i have dieted down from 83 kilos down to 78 im 164cm sitting around 12% bodyfat and have whipped out the mass gainers, olive oil, steak and peanut butter again for a summer bulk sure being ripped is cool but dont train for other people train for yourself i say f*ck a waistline

i want to be big enough that i can stop crime through my presence

i dont know why i wrote this just getting fucked off without gaining size for a while when that is why i lift in the first place seeing a huge guy today made me remember why i train and made me say F**k the diet bearmode engaged.

why do you train?

TLDR

"i want to be big enough that i can stop crime through my presence"

Beast! Haha

I think there is an element of me training for other people (sadly). But mainly it is a challenge thing. I was told when I was a teenager at a boys' school that "a good man always has some sort of project/challenge on the boil" and that is it for me.

Right now, I'm quite the opposite. I just feel bulky if I get too big (and yes - that's a relative term! :grin:)

So my focus now is on growing if possible, but getting shredded too. Sadly, this summer, neither seems to be happening for me.

sometimes u just need to disregard everything and cut until ur lean enough

ppl prob make comments like oh you've gotten smaller etc but who cares, getting lean is better in the long run
