    I'll admit. I'm a little "bulky" due to higher body fat levels and big muscles. But I've been lifting at maintenance or a surplus for almost 2 years.

    <---squats do a booty good. I have other pictures, but they're all on my phone, so I can't upload them to here.

    Most of my lifts are in the intermediate/advanced ranges for my weight class. Bench is lagging behind, almost to intermediate, because of my surgical history, but it's catching up.

    here's one of me with enormous delts and biceps

    and here's one of my bulky man-physique

    Yes, you look bulky like a man, and I look pretty like Marilyn Monroe...
