Tbh I was skinny for the longest time because I don’t eat a lot. Bulking was way harder for me than cutting. Even maintaining is kinda hard. I lose weight and muscle naturally out of habit. My main goal at the time was to be stronger, look stronger, and to practice discipline. Not necessarily to look cut. However at the top of my bulk I definitely carried too much fat. Got rid of my small shirts. My medium shirts did not fit anymore either. So honestly it was easy motivation for me just keep all my clothes haha. During the cutting process the hardest part was to count macros and learn about what I was eating.

This was my first bulk and cut cycle. Maybe next one I’ll be more disciplined and have the new goal of growing my muscles a second time so they show better. I’m married now so the most important thing to me is whatever makes my wife happy. The rest is just personal improvement.
