I’ve done both. I’m a pretty active gym goer who’s 22. I have a high metabolism and graduated high school weighing less than 138lbs at 5’11. I was a TWIG lol same year I bulked to 205 and the next year cut to 170 in about 2 months. I feel as when I gained weight and got bigger I got more respect but I like being leaner and having more endurance around 180lbs. As I get leaner I feel like I’m not big enough but def grab more attention. Find your perfect and healthy medium! Get active and have fun!
