If you want proof of bear mode working like a charm just look at professional rugby players. I saw the All Blacks (New Zealand's) national rugby team and they are so huge in real life. Whilst they aren't ripped per sey, they look so much bigger than bodybuilders, especially through the posterior chain due to all the squats and deadlifts. Where is bodybuilders have great muscle bellies that pop, rugby players just have this thicc as 3D size. Helps that they are around 6'4, 6'5 as well. As they train for power and strength for match functionality, they eat accordingly to be always at the most naturally strongest to be competitive on the pitch. When Rugby players go bear mode, they eat clean AF.

that study doesnt clarify or debunk the theory. what kind of athletes? and what kind of training were they doing? the doctor doesnt say anything different imo anyway. you know your going to put on weight, and its not eating alone like he says. your training with your diet. the idea isnt that you just get more muscle with a diet. its a calorie surplus alongside weight training. the study would be valid if the athletes were all weight training. and have a similar type of body type. if its tested on long distant runner for eg the results will not be a true reflection.

Bear mode? Should be called I eat like shit but I work out so its ok mode. My friend has been working out for the past 6 years on almost a daily basis yet he eats like shit, cake, brownies, 5 ice cream bars at once, absolutely no discipline when it comes to food. Hes got big muscles but looks like shit, his face is fat and has no definition. His excuse is because no girl wants a guy with a six pack. Bear mode is like a fat girl saying shes in fat ass mode. Um no, more like hungry hungry hippo mode. Ya look like crap period.

For some reason the person with the bear mode diet always looks stronger to me regardless of clothing situation. I think it is just the idea that it looks like someone taking that route looks as if all they do as lift, whereas being really lean implies that some of that time is being devoted to cardio. I would also imagine that sluggishness would be much less of a problem for people with a bigger overall frame. 20 lbs on a 5'5 frame is a lot of weight, whereas on a 6'5 frame, it's nothing.

Can you do videos on people who are naturally fat/endomorphic compared to ectomorphic(which most bodybuilders are? I've been going to the gym for years and dieting for years but I literally just can't get lean. When I get close, my hunger gets extremely high due to being too far from my natural weight range etc. I also put weight on Extremely easily. Couldalso do a video on whether this type of difference actually exists (some people are just naturally fat and gain fat easily etc)

If you are bulking up by eating cheesecake and shit food of course you will gain fat. Eating big to get big involves eating more calories of healthy foods and you dont need a study to tell you a heavier guy is stronger than a lighter guy, both doing similar weight training. The stronger you get, the more weight you lift and the more muscle tension hence larger muscles. You can not overeat, you can only under train.

I've always liked staying more around 20% bodyfat. and I think women like that look more for sure. But I think for your height and overall build you look better lean. I'm a foot taller than you so I lose a lot of overall roundness in the shoulders, which is the most challenging body part for me to keep looking full and proportional to my arms, which I just don't have to train at all anymore.

It's funny u mention the sluggishness. I work as a longshoreman which can involve a ton of lifting of bags and luggage for hours. So I bulked up for months to get in what I thought would be better shape and while I was most definitely stronger 1st thing I noticed was how sluggish I was due to the extra bulk. Kinda felt like I was in the bulky SS Trunks form when he fought Cell in DBZ lol

A factor in that sluggish feeling when you bulked up may be the quality of the calories that you were ingesting, ie. high sugar, starchy carbs like cheesecake, chocolate milk etc. You should have been pounding the steak and eggs and full fat milk back, not stuffing yourself with junk food. Refined sugar just makes you sick and sluggish and is the cause of disease.
