Maybe, I am a "Spornosexual" ?
I really want to look good. I really want to have a nice body. I am obsessed with my abs. I really want to be attractive to young women.
Maybe, this is because I am insecure?
I spend a lot of time working on these things. I buy healthy, fresh food. I spend time cooking and preparing this food. I workout almost everyday. I recently bought a whole new wardrobe.
I try to stay well groomed with my hair, skin, teeth, etc.
I just bought a few pairs of stylish winter boots.
Guys on this forum have helped me to find clothes that fit properly and colors schemes that work for me.
To be honest, it has been a lot of fun learning how to make myself more attractive to young women.
As a 39 year old man who primarily dates 18-24yo girls, I need an edge, I need something that makes me stand out from the crowd. I need major swag. I need to "pop"!
My body often gives me that edge which allows me to date women half my age.
You are probably not eating as well as he did.
He only had 4 "cheat meals" in 3 months.
That is DEDICATION and COMMITMENT!
That is not easy!
-- Keep in mind that this guy probably dieted specifically for this photo-shoot. He likely did not eat any carbs at all for a few days before this photo shoot and possible worked out before the photo shoot, on an empty stomach. These are some of the tricks that allow people to look good in their "after" photos.
Again, the difference is likely a very, very strict diet.
"Bulking and cutting" is only one strategy for getting a better physique.
Most guys don't have to dietary, nutritional, and exercise expertise to properly "bulk and cut".
"Bulking and cutting" is an advanced bodybuilding strategy that requires specific knowledge and expertise.
And, its often not very healthy. The huge swings in weight put unnecessary stress on the body, stretch out the skin, create belly fat, stress the internal organs, puts pressure on our back and knees, etc.
Guys who are not trying to be bodybuilders might try other strategies.
I must respectfully disagree.
If I eat a lot of healthy food (lean meats, fish, eggs, beans, oatmeal, vegetables, fruit, etc)
and, at the same time...
I work out hard. (consistently increasing weight and volume)
I gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.

I put on a lot of size, but it's slow going getting rid of the fat.
