Pics of me 3 years ago to last year and this year.
Natural progress, I never bulked, I stayed lean year-round and always had a six-pack. I just main-gained/stayed around maintenance and ate till I was full. - If I felt more hungry than usual, I ate more, if I felt more full than usual, I don’t eat. As my strength gone up and weight gone up I increased the amount of food I eat. I am definitely eating more than ever now than I was years ago. I never counted calories or macros all those years, I just guess the amount of food I needed and did portion control.
