    10 Things I've learned in my almost 20 years of bodybuilding

    @julianclayton A little bit but not too much to be honest, nothing crazy. I'm actually quite surprised that it's not worse considering how big I was for how long I was and all my yoyo dieting. A true test of that would be if I dropped another 15-20 lbs into contest shape (that day will come...

    @r3yu I felt terrific when I was heavy lol.... although clearly not as agile and athletic, couldn't run as much as I can now, etc. but overall I felt good. I felt ridiculously strong, like I was a walking blubbery tank lol But I still feel great now, and a big part of that is because I am...

    10 Things I've learned in my almost 20 years of bodybuilding

    @sandyanna As someone who dirty bulked for so long - it really is dumb! Its fun but dumb as hell! lol I met Lee Priest at his biggest once when I was at my biggest, and once when he was lean and I was in the middle of a pre-contest and I told him "Hey I get super fat too in the off-season" and...

    10 Things I've learned in my almost 20 years of bodybuilding

    @sandyanna I like having a day or two per week where I can just eat whatever the hell I want while more or less not tracking macros.. and as someone said below... I freaking LOVE pizza, and you obviously know how many calories that is. Sure I can do 2800 calories a day, and I actually am a big...

    10 Things I've learned in my almost 20 years of bodybuilding

    @godrocks25 1950 is not maintenance... as mentioned I have a pretty big refeed day every 3 days or so... Up to 5,000+ calories.

    Genetics and "Ease" of Staying Lean

    @lovelivelaugh My dude... I think genetics is definitely a big big thing (can't change that), but I think one very important factor is what your body has become accustomed to and your habits - and that.... you can change. I'm going to use myself as an example. After yo-yo dieting between 50-70...
