Bodybuilding and tight skin

[charger69]

Staying sub-10% year round.. or at least @10% would help. No real sense going up and down in weight to add just a few pounds, when you can stay lean... consistently add small increases in lean mass, whilst giving the skin time to acclimate and tighten. Do you use transdermal stuff to help bring circulation to the problem area?

I was told that i need to have extra weight to gain muscle to ensure that the muscle has food. I do not like going above 10% but i have conformed. Please provide additional information on the circulation to the area.
I also learned today that you can buy collogen. Do you think this will help? The RF had good results which increases the collogen.NOTE: i am estimating fat %

The bulk/cut thing is very old school honestly.

You can do shorter cycles of overfeeding and underfeeding... thus retaining more muscle without adding fat.

2 weeks in a caloric surplus. 2 weeks at maintenance or sub-maintenance. OR slowly re-add calories post-contest, and give yourself a longer 'off-season' to add muscle slowly... without accruing a ton of fat.

Please provide additional information on the circulation to the area.

I've no personal experience with collagen.

But, it's cheap... and couldn't hurt.

I do think you need to stay leaner however.

Just my opinion.

OMG yes. Never, ever believed in it.
