Anyone ever have this problem????

Im currently 5'11 222 and my bodyfat is roughly high around 16-17% been bulking and im totally natural so i knew bodyfat was gonna come.. and i started 1year ago at 175 10-11%bf.. so ive made some good gains.. But the problem im talking about is being so use to the bulk that your to scared to lean up becuae you fear of getting thin and it not looking good?? I know the leaner you are you give a illusion of looking and weighing alot bigger then you are but i just cant buy into that LOL i know its true but im in a bind where i dont feel im big enough to lean up all the way i feel i need more size and more muscle... anyone ever find themself use to having some size and scared to get rid of it?? especially me coming from 175 .. I just feel i need to get bigger but at the same time cant afford to put on more bodyfat anyways get back to me guys if anyone has gone through this before thanks


p.s. Best fucking board blows the others away IMO

its more about personal preference....u can always stay the same weight ...lose bf and gain muscle

Well summer is here. Are you comfortable with your shirt off around other people or are you hesitant? That should help start you in the right direction.

Have someone take some picture for you. Sometimes it's hard to judge yourself when your looking at a mirror. Using your numbers you've added 47# naturally and 50% of that has been muscle...50% fat. Right now using your figures you have almost 38# of fat (19lbs more than prebulk). A reasonable goal IMO.would be to aim for 195 # and 10% bf from a cut from where you are currently.

All depends on your goals but try the picture trick,it's alot easier t to gauge that way for those of us with megamorph syndrome.

Nice answer!


I know what you're feeling and I feel it with you. Kinda the opposite of being anorexic. It gets worse. When you are cutting you wish you were bulking, when bulking- cutting. Maybe we are just f'd in the head after all. If you find any solutions pass them on to me.

Im gonna probaby do some before after pics so maybe in about 8-12weeks ill post something .. Thanks again Skip

p.s. give me some feedback on the shwartz vanilla and chocolate flavoers?? and which one are you guys getting the concnetrate or the iso/concentrate??

I haven't tried the vanilla but the chocolate is the shoit! I am trying the strawberry and it is ok. Well it blows all the other strawberry on the market out of the water. The 5# price is hard to beat also!

Chocolate is great, vanilla is good, just not my thing. And I get the concentrate, seems to work well for me!

I personally think you'll look bigger if you get your body fat down under 10%, but maybe that's just me...

strawberry is my face chocolate is very good, and I hate all vanilla

hey thats only thing im debated on is whey concentrate or isolate/concentrate as you can see there is a big difference when it comes to price per pound.. and i wonder if it really makes that big of a difference know what i mean?? lets say the concentrate has alittle less protein well just take more of it lol

I didn't know there were so many others having the same stress over cutting a few pounds of fat, but I am loath to give up any pounds myself. The only solution is like the others said, lean up slowly and keep as much bulk as you can. I think being too small for so long has warped my mind a little. (along with a lot of other stuff lol)
Keep us posted on your cutting, its good to hear how it goes for others.
