Bulking is Hard....Rant
This is my first bulk and I'm finding that mentally, it's draining. You eat, lift as heavy as possible, gain strength, but then are left with just a little too much fat. I know it's the process, I get it, but when you take a look at your peak pictures, it's kinda hard to stay motivated. You look back at progress photos and…

Is it even worthwhile to do a hypertrophy program…
