Lose your Abs to Bulk up

I love this bodybuilding quote: "You can't sculpt a pebble."

What it means is that you need to pack on a lot of mass before you begin to chip away to reveal what's hidden underneath. Bulking up requires you to let go of your obsession with always having show-off abs. Most fitness models whine and complain that they can't get bigger, but it's because keeping their abs is the top priority. The truth is, it's virtually impossible to gain muscle size if you make the choice to stay lean all the time. But no, there is nothing wrong with that decision.
