I wanted to talk about my experience with becoming borderline obese on the bulk and how i was treated in these times compared to now that ive lean downed
(photos of peak bulk and current at end of the thread)
when i was around 13 i was around 40kg i was extremely skinny i would be bullied by kids in my grade for how malnourished is was i couldn't bench the bar and had no strength in any measurable way. i decided i should bulk up (this was around the time terms like victim weight were common and Sam sulek was promoting bulking to 200lb) so i went on a crazy dirty bulk and gained 50kg in a year i gained a lot of respect form my classmates and was the first in my grade to have 200lb bench so there were many positives to the bulk. but obviously since i was medically obese i was extremely ugly and would have the standard foid treatment with girls asking me out as a joke in a attempt to humiliate me or do the "my friend has a crush on yo" bs. I'm glade to say i don't have to deal with this type of stuff now ive lost the weight. i still do not interact with women that much but thats because im very ND and do not talk to people in general, but at least women will not go out of there way to make fun of me.
now ive lost the extra tub from the bulk ive noticed that i get treated better overall by teacher classmates and just my peers in general. over kids in my class that i don't know overly well will invited me to go play basketball or other sports even though im quite unathletic.

just a slight calorie surplus is ideal for teens

depending on the diet it can be good for teens to avoid nutrient deficiency in development but if you are eating a nutrient dense diet i think maintenance cal is ideal
