dreamer bulk

Bulking to add muscle involves a caloric surplus leading to some fat gain. A dreamer bulk goes too far and the individual becomes fat as fatass with no muscle gains. Typically results from extremely high caloric surplus of junk/fast food and little to no training.

Dreamer Bulk

A bulk during which the weightlifter puts on enormous amounts of fat (often achieving over 30% bf) and leaves the fat on for an extended period of time (generally over a year). This is called a "dreamer bulk" because these people are living for a dream (e.g., a vision of an ideal-but-distant future state that non-dreamers cannot perceive and find difficult to understand). This often subjects the dreambulker to derision from non-weightlifters, amateur weightlifters, internet forum addicts, and other people who only understand aesthetics or the pursuit of short-term physical goals. What critics of dreambulkers often overlook is that the extra fat limits muscle catabolism, cushions joints during heavy lifts, and (most importantly) functions like a full-body weight vest that increases both isotonic and isometric exertion throughout the entirety of the bulk. Dreambulkers often make rapid gains in strength, as well as in endurance-against-resistance. Also, when dreambulkers do finally cut back to low body fat levels, they usually retain gains in strength and muscle mass in their lean state that are unparalleled in people who have not done similar bulk-cut routines.

dreamerbulker

A guy that pretends to be a permabulker but lacks the permabulker's muscle mass and ability to move weight, while still sporting a voluminous gut. Frequently trains chest, lats and biceps and avoids training legs or lower back in order to keep some semblance of what he considers a V shaped build but always shows a physique thats characterized by neither huge muscles nor low bodyfat. Benches and squats 2 plates and change while weighing close to 300 pounds. Loves to sport close cropped hair and wears extra smedium shirts, often likes tattoos

Most people who consider themselves permabulkers are really dreamerbulkers.
