Is it even possible to feel big as a natty?

[eod8989]

6'1 200+ lbs right now and still feel small. Feel ashamed every time a 6'3 or 30% bf guy walks past. He'll anyone who is 30% bf dwarfs me

[wasp9166]

i feel big when i help an animal

[Zwicker]

I get big as a natty... But never big and lean at the same time. Big in a t-shirt, with extra body fat or lean but small in a t-shirt. Absolute truth, unfortunately.

[Diabolous]

Lol, yes!

[RussellJimenez]

i feel big at 6'1 220 any less and i feel skinnyfat. think its psychological

[WorldClassDBag]

try lifting

[eod8989]

I just feel small as hell because so many guys are like 30% bf these days. Unless I'm 220 I feel dyel too.

[StrawberryMixer]

In the eyes of a non-lifter, you absolutely can

Everyone who lifts quickly develops a distorted view of what being muscular means

This.

[keepitnatty]

Yes 5’10 205 15% bf with a large shirt hugging the sleeves feel huge

[SweatGate]

Try to stop worrying about stuff like that.

[TotheDoubleR]

IDK I'm 6'2" and it's hard asf to pack mass on. Most people you see that are yoked are definitely on one or another type of gear.

[deadhead6391]

Thats because you dont have enough mass. Im natty and im 200 at 5'8 and fill out an xl right now, i dwarf most people irl and outlift most everyone i see. I feel great. Even when i was smaller and lean i didnt feel small, people commented on my physique daily.

[AestheticGame]

Of course, this is called genetics

[Ratfish]

just drink beer and be builtfat

bitches love that chit

[RealAesthetic]

6'2 200 lean and i've had people doubt that i'm natty so that's enough for me, still feel small but when I look at myself in the mirror I can see that i'm pretty aesthetic.

That's you in your avi at 200lbs and 5'8? How many years of lifting. I'm 5'9 and hoping to achieve just 169lbs and 10% bf lol.

[RealAesthetic]

one day... one day...

edit: how long did it take you to get to 200?

I started at 130lb, it took me 9 years to get to 200, suffered a few serious shoulder injuries along the way, got triceps tendinitis once, fuked my knees up a bit, suffered one or two back injures, probably about a year and a half total injury time throughout the years. Bounced back stronger after every injury though. I've been blessed with good genetics in terms of proportion and having an ultra fast metabolism that leaves me no choice but to be lean all year round but it's been the definition of hardgaining and persistence + progressive overload were two main contributing factors.

fair point, but u seem to have been blessed with genetics of peace

not everyone can replicate that

[JohnnyRingo350]

Define big. Some are "big" for an average gym goer, and some are actually big.

Ive definitely got good genetics and not everyone can replicate my physique but im natty and i am proof that with good genes you can achieve a worthwhile physique unassisted. It just takes more work and patience.

No i was 165 there. Im 200 at about 17% ive been at it for 8 years though, lean ive been 173 so im hoping to sit around 180-185 at 10% when I'm done cutting back down.

sure, but good genes unfortunately are predetermined, feelsbadman

If I remember correctly, u were a fatso long before ? So there is hope that not only super lean people ( who start their bbing lean and stay lean easily) are those with good genes ? Side question, how do u control appetite and suppress your past habits (assuming I remember correctly)

[wincel]

If you are a manlet, you will never be big. You could be 5'8 300 lb lean jacked up on OJ and look small compared to a 6'4" 240 lb bro.

[nm1891]

Yes. Bigger than 95% of people i come across.

[GrimRep_er]

Same here. Being that I had to chose between these 2 options, I went lean but small.

[shoelaces]

I doubt you are 6'1" 200lbs+ lean. That is pretty big.

[batmanman]

biggest I've been was 202 @7% 6ft natteh, and that was pretty hard tbh

I felt kinda big, mostly as a natty you're only big when you take your shirt off

otherwise some fat bouncer can fold his titty fat over his crossed arms and look bigger than you

Yeah im a former fat kid I just stay disciplined and i stick to a diet i enjoy. I love food so im not eating bland foods and i learned how to cook. It removed the need to cheat and wreck my diet. When cutting i drink a lot of zero carb rockstars or take an ec stack and that really helps. A lot of fat people have potential and theyre generally pretty robust they just never put in the work to overcome.bad habits and maximize their genetic potential. Skinny people just have an easier starting point on the surface because they see their gains right away but generally i dont see those people get nearly as big as someone with a naturally bigger frame and muscular set point without teching.

Coming from someone just like you (same height and natty; difference is I've been at this for 13 years), here's my take on the subject. Although I've quoted you, this message goes out to everyone.

I've never felt big in my life, but I've accepted I am, from the people around me telling me the fact; does that make sense?

Follow me on this, cause writing it out is confusing as ****..

I can and often find myself looking at someone, who to somebody else looks big, but in my eyes they are smaller than me. However, if you were to ask me do I think im bigger than said person, I would honestly say no; despite in the eyes of the 3rd party, im much bigger than them.

I guess I have typical body dismorphia but it doesn't bother me srs. In some ways, I think it keeps me humble and grounded. I would srsly hate knowing I'm big, but accepting it isn't the same. We all know somebody that trains in the gym that thinks they are hot ****. I can pretty much promise myself I will never be like that, heck I honestly think I wasn't made that way.

Just edited this post once more, its ****ing hard to accurately explain my position.
