Bulking Mental Health

[BoloYang2023]

so this might be odd but i was what i considered overweight and got to a visible six pack and wanted to add more muscle so i started a bulk and i instantly quit it after 3 months because my mental state tanked because i lost my visible 6 pack is this common?

is this common?

I’d say so yes. Just gotta be able to trust the process.

You can also start a bull from extremely lean and not get too fluffy. The higher bf you start at.. the worse it gets.

Check out @Mac11wildcat ’s journal on here. His peak offseason is still extremely segsy and lean by most standards.

Yes, you have mental illness.

Treat the underlying issues first.

Wanting to stop a bulk and lean up to have visible abs isn't weird in itself, but tanking your mental state over what is obviously going to happen during a long bulk is bizarre.

Nothing wrong with that at all. If you start a bulk lean enough theres no reason it can’t be successful at putting on some muscle mass without gaining a bunch of fat
