Ding ding ding ding, we have a winner.

There's a very good reason that I just get fat if I try to push above my current weight, and it's not just because I don't work for it.

With 10 years of lifting, to include some AAS use in the past, I'm pretty damn close to the genetic asymptote. My body isn't easily going to add more muscle, and it's damn sure not going to hang on to that at 10% or less.

It's a realization that will hit you after you get out of your early 20s and the idealism gets eclipsed by reality.

Some of Casey's comments in the BR thread are particularly appropriate.
