Thank God I did bulking and cutting
Bulking is where you build, cutting is where you reveal. Do both right, and you don’t just get bigger or leaner, you get muscles that are fuller, denser and more mature. It’s how you take your physique from good to unforgettable. I would have never been here if I chose to stay leaner all the time.
