My two cents on the big vs. smaller debate
I can't help but respond to this thread after reading it. I'm with Lee for the most part because looking like a beast with clothes on is a lot more impressive and it sets you apart. What I do is partially for girls, mostly just for my self esteem. I've been smaller and lean and didn't receive much attention. Now I'm 5'9" 215 and look like a hard ass with clothes on. If you're going for women, I must say I have more women trying to see the muscle I conceal under my shirts than I ever did when I was smaller. As for diet, slow and steady homie, patience will be better than crashing. CKD and TKD both work, it's just your preferrance.
