Simple fact is some of us don't have the genetics to get "huge." I was eating between 2800-3200 calories just to maintain 180lbs ! My strength went up but my size didn't really change that much. On top of that i was taking a crap 5 times a day. It got to the point where my ass became sore from wiping so much in one day. It's all part of the game. If you can maintain that lifestyle then so be it but not everyone can. I now work about 10-11 days so eating and working out like i us to is out of the question. I have a physically demanding job so it helps me stay in shape but not like i could be if i was hitting the gym.
