It all dawned on me when someone posted that study about LBM. The one with Sumo-wrestlers, powerlifters and bodybuilders. The powerlifters and bodybuilders had similar LBM totals. The sumo-wrestlers had the most lean mass on average. To me that shows how anabolic food is, since the main job of a sumo-wrestler is stuffing himself silly and getting fat as hell.
Bulking really does work! Get big and fat and then cut down carefully. Most of the BB pros do it in the offseason too. Some of us can make steady gains and stay lean, but they are the exception.
