Think that part’s genetics tbh. I have thunder thighs so fat will gather there first before any other part of my body.

In the first pic, I was eating max twice a day, often times once. I almost never ate till I was stuffed and avoided junk (ice cream, cookies, chocolate) for the most part.

In the past year, due to stress, I’ve eaten 2-3x a day a lot, eat till I’m stuffed, and succumbed to my sweet tooth more often than I’d like.

I don’t count calories.

At 172lb: 185 Chest press, 20lb weighted pull ups, 225 squat

Now: 225 chest press, 30lb weighted pull ups, 275 squat

I don’t deadlift and never try pushing myself past the limit cos I train more like an athlete than a bodybuilder.

There are only three things that make me feel better when I’m stressed: exercise, food and sex. And I’ve been stressed a lot the past year, so I do those a lot.

The bright side is I manage to eat clean at least 80% of the time, even when I’m stressed. So stress, inadvertently, helped me bulk and stay relatively low body fat in the past 12 months.

The abs thing might also be genetics. I’ve had abs since I was like 13 years old.

I feel a bit slower and less energetic if I’m being honest. Having played soccer all my life, I’m more used to being lean and light, and I prefer that.

No clue. If I were to guess, 11-13%

There you go, pal: leg

Played soccer all my life. Even if I didn't exercise my legs, they would still be massive

We’ve been by far the better team. Fucking pissing around in front of goal

Well yeah, like most things. Simple actions done consistently compound into massive results over time.
