How fat do you let yourself get(off season)?

[165StateChamp]

This is the fattest I let myself go.
And with my rampant body dysmorphic disorder this already screams MORBID OBESE.
I'm enjoying the cheat meals nevertheless

Look at that, an identifying tattoo but you found a solution.

Looking jacked.

LOL I know, minor stuff can be easily covered, lame excuse.
Thanks

Respect to you - lots of guys here are relying on those lame excuses!

If that’s fat wtf do you normally look like

I can show you a pic from the last time I stepped on stage (2020). It's definitely not what I'd consider “normal“ for me, this was 8 days out and barely able to stand up:

Fuck yeah bro! Great V Taper you’ve got going on and those lats come down damn near to your waist. You’ve built a really aesthetic physique.

Thank you Sir
I've been doing my best. Didn't suffice to get me where I wanted but I certainly tried...

Incredible dude! Thanks for posting. Too bad we got some loser vaginas on here afraid to do the same.

From where I’m standing you fucking nailed it brother. I’d be curious to hear about your off season diet. How high do you push your calories, proteins, carbs?

I rarely (if ever) bulk nowadays (the recent weight gain is almost “accidental“ : Trest + loose diet ). When I still used to push food in growth phases, in the offseason, on average 350-370 pro, 550-650 CHO and 80-100 FAT.
Doesn't sound high, but mind you, I'm far from tall...5'8"
228lbs in the pic where I'm shredded (3 years ago) and 247lbs now (in the pic where I'm a pregnant whale).

I fucking love this place. No other site humbles me like this place does. Also lights a fire under me to push even harder.

I only have one season these days. And my % is where ever my comfort zone is.

Same man. I have veins in my abs and am sitting around 10/11% right now…

…yesterday I apologized to my wife for being fat and promised her I’d cut soon . She cursed at me and told me I’m stupid.

This place changes your standards for sure.

That's great but I'd say you're doing damn well!

Jesus. Are we really pretending all of you KNOW (without calipers or a dexa scan or anything) that that guy is over 20%?

I doubt he is. Some of you really are absurd, he's prolly got skin like Dr. Mike. I'm in the same boat, skin is thick, water retention is on the level of assload regardless of what estrogen shows up as on bloodwork. I bet Dusty understands this, and knows how to manipulate it appropriately come show time.

on top of that he's got a fair amount of hair blurring things too.

That dude is fat as F… I’ll bet the house I’m building he’s over 20%!

It’s just thick skin and water retention!

Just now seeing this so I am late to the party, but Derek looks absolutely insane. He might take Hadi this year.
