Everyone has diff. opinions, personally I think Dorian, Ronnie, Jay, ect. all look like better monsters when their face isn't sunk in and their filled out doing their bulker offstage. 260lbs. kicks ass if you wear it well, 360's even better. Not everyone wants to starve down and cut just to walk down the street. I like the 12-14% range and I don't consider that fat, its only my opinion but this is where I'm healthy, happy, and growing. Actually ladies go more for your personality and how you carry yourself in life more than your abs. I'm not being a punk just tellin you how It is, everyones diff. I'm never going to be a heavywieght on stage, I didn't get the parents but I get BUFF remarks, actually today, and haven't touched a wieght or diet for 7mos.

im cycling my carbs now. 2 days on very low... 100grams or lower, then every 3rd day im doing about 500grams.

also trying to run for 30 minutes every day. I started to feel some shin splints coming on, so i backed off yesterday. But constand pace, only getting the heart rate up to 135.

I dont know how you will respond, but less than 100grms of carbs is very low. You might lose muscle going that low, or the 500grm carb days might prevent it. Just keep an eye on it and adjust as you see fit.
