Try cutting.

You never look like you lifted, brah.
You're probably natural, and probably above 15% bodyfat.
Natty + Over 15% bodyfat = DYEL mode.
Natties don't have enough muscle mass to look good above 10% bodyfat.

It's all in your mind lad.

What are you talking about? Being fat is the easiest way to look like you lift as a natty.

With clothes on, sure, with clothes off? Nope.
The fact you don't know this proves to me that you've never experience being both >20% bodyfat and <10% bodyfat.
I look BIGGER and MORE MUSCULAR without a shirt on, without a pump, below 10% bodyfat, than I do at 20%+. Infact at 20%+ I just look like a couch potato, but below 10% bodyfat I look like a fucking Greek god statue and people think I've gained 20lbs of muscle when all I've done is cut 20lbs of fat.
You should know this by now after almost 2 years lifting.
t. 7 year lifter.

I trained six days a week for three years and I stopped gong to the gym for two weeks and lost all my gains and looked like I had never even been to the gym.

It's all about pump

If you lost all of your gains in 2 weeks you either binged on fast food 24/7, never lifted properly, or have godawful genetics.

>don't lift for a week
>return to gym and break bench PR
Sometimes a rest week can help your gains

that's because your spine uncompresses as you sleep and you resign your manlet status temporarily, so you're seeing your frame on someone about an inch taller
don't believe me? Measure yourself before you go to bed/before you wake up
>>
What? I take a week off lifting every year, and I always look more swole, because my glycogen stores are filled again and my body has fully recovered from all the heavy lifting
>>
>>42338401
True, people told me that I looked bigger when I was in a cut wtf
