OK, I Decided I'm Going To Cut

Nice work! You definitely don't look like your typical 5k or 10k scrawny runner...

Thanks, I have no intention of it ;) If I have to eat 4200 calories to bulk so be it LOL. I really don't weigh that much, but I guess it's just all in the right places. I'm 6'1 and 183

..and thanks aim, I keep workin' it!

Thanks, I don't do any isolation exercises whatsoever...not even abs

For shoulders: I was doing military presses, I switched about 2 weeks ago to handstand pushups. I suppose benching and weighted dips also hit them quite a bit (I just shook up all my upper body exercises, I was benching, now weighted dips)
 
I really don't plan on bulking in the traditional sense. I may occasionally do one of my "mini bulks" 5-6 lbs at a time if I feel the need. I'm really enjoying being lean. I'd like to look like that pic completely unflexed

Yeah dude, forget about all that cutting and bulking nonsense. You look good now, so just focus on staying where you're at.
 
why is it nonsense? not saying he shouldn't stay where he is if he's happy. But if one wants to get bigger or leaner, you're pretty much gonna have to do one or the other in some sense.
 
Yeah, I kind of agree with you stream, in my situation, but I don't have a problem if someone wants to get bigger...you can't account for taste.

For me, I'm happy the size I am, I worked my ass off to get lean, and I have a very high metabolism. I eat 4000 calories/day currently just to maintain (actually I think I'm still losing in very tiny increments) It's pretty uncomfortable for me to eat enough to bulk effectively with clean foods and I'm not willing to start eating the crap I used to to bulk up.
 
You're happy, stay where you are! You've worked hard to get to where you are, sit back and enjoy it. And you can be a better athlete in certain fields, like running, at 183 than you can at a heavier, but more muscular weight.

FWIW, your body is a very admirable goal for me.
 
Grow out your beard, it helps inhibit the transfer of glycerol you ingest, and instead passes it, causing you to maintain your muscle without gaining fat.

PS you look very "buff"
 
Looking good Gooch, I am going for the same "lean but hard" ( gettin there )

And I totally understand why you wouldn't want to bulk. I don't want to bulk either, because as a former fat boy it feels damn good to be lean!

I'd rather stay lean, improve my strength, improve body composition, improve endurance and general health.
 
This'd normally be where I call you a fatty, but I'm not allowed.

Anyway, I approve of the "not wanting to get too hyooge" thing. Tbh, I don't really much of a purpose for all that mass beyond a certain point. I want an optimal power:mass ratio, not maximum size. :)

Besides, my lady said no more sex if I end up with breasts bigger than hers. :rofl:
 
:eek2: you really made yourself tiny!

How much further are you going to go? I think your looking nearly anorexic.. i'd stop the madness!

I think you looked real good back on page one of four... but that's just my opinion :cool:

Do what makes you happy though!
