Sometimes people will ask me for lifting tips and advice esp when it comes to upper body and my message to you is that I have never once cut (on purpose. Illnesses and stuff have happened). I have been “bulking” for years because I knew the body type I wanted & I knew what my body type was…. Tall and rail thin. Thats hard to work with but is possible. 

I don’t weigh my food, I don’t plan my meals meticulously, I don’t stress over a doughnut, nothing. I eat mindfully but like a human and not a robot. I’ve never cut because I chase mass not definition. You can’t cut every time you don’t have abs and then wonder why you don’t become a mammoth
