>So I'm looking to go bearmode

nah

there's nothing rewarding about barely being able to bend over and tie your own shoes if you're not competing in WSM the next day. stay lean you fucking retard.

Bulk on cheap stuff like rice pasta beans chicken butter etc

I'd sacrifice a little flexibility for raw strength and the confidence and peace of mind that would come from being built like a brick shithouse. I'd go lean if I were aiming to someday become a competitive martial artist or something, but I just wanna get really strong and reap the benefits that come with that. I'm naturally stocky so I wanna work with what I got.

Thanks, I eat a good amount of rice anyway. I stock up on all the other stuff and maybe this will learn how to actually cook worth a shit in the process. What about milk? I've heard mixed opinions on GOMAD and a lot of people say it's shit but it would be so damn easy to work into my current diet. I drink a lot of milk anyway, though not that much and I'll stay well the fuck away from it if there's a chance I might end up with lady boobs from all the bovine growth hormones or some shit.

you really have no idea what you're getting yourself into. you're not going to get big, you're going to get fat, and you'll never look like the guy in the OP without steroids.

you can be strong without being a fat, immobile fuck.

But Bearmode is the hottest mode out of all!
I would love to have a bearmode bf to tie up his shoes.

OP here. That guy isn't me. Ending up a fatass is not where I'm looking to go at all, so I'm just going to wing it and fucking lift everyday with no real changes in my diet and see what happens. I'm not even gonna have any specific goals, I'm just gonna do it mechanically and without any pretense and stuff will happen how it happens. I really just want to not keep being a lazy shit and feel more confident approaching women who are objectively out of my league for hopefully making babies with. That's pretty much it.

Thanks for talking me out of eventually heart conditions and gyno. I think.

>no real changes in my diet
You won't get big then
In all honesty, getting properly huge requires a naturally huge frame. Most top WSM competitors were deadlifting over 200kg on their first day in the gym. Eddie Hall benched 180kg at 16

> cut to 15% bf
> run strength routine with lots of volume accessories
> bulk on a very small surplus to minimize fat gains

it'll take years, but should work
