I just looked through Paulie’s profile pics. Nothing in there even remotely could be described as ‘very fat’. I admit I don’t have a good mental image of Paulie beyond those pics, so if he was much fatter, then maybe there’s something to that description.

Why is it such a big deal if I, or others wanna ask him why he’s not continuing?
He said he isn’t as lean as he wanted to be, and he obviously did the cut for himself so if he personally isn’t where he wanted to be its understandable to ask why he’s stopping short of his goal.

I will tell you why:
Paulie was very fat.
Yes, he was big but was carrying way more fat than he thought and admitted to himself.
He has been dieting for 18 months and needs to give his body a break from the continuous caloric deficit.
He bulked up to fullhousedness but had to “cut” MUCH more than he thought to strip away the fat.
He looks awesome now.
Needs to give his body a break.

Cool, cheers for explaining the time frame he has been dieting in
[/quote]
No problem.
I am almost positive he has been dieting for 18 months (give or take a couple)
That is too long to be dieting.
Slow and steady is the way to go but that’s a but too long lol

I am unable to view his profile pictures.
Are any of those photos shirtless?
I will wait until he posts a before and after.

Yeah, there’s a couple from around July 2012 with no shirt. Nothing that remotely comes near ‘very fat’. Again, maybe he was before those pics. Don’t know.
Even if he just started from there, his ‘cut’ is pretty impressive and well executed.

Naw I do remember seeing one really old pic of paulie where he was pretty darn fat (sorry paulie no offense!). But he had a lot of muscle under there, and after a pretty huge cut he has been looking fantastic for a while now. I mean look at his current profile pic, his arms look enormous now that his torso is leaned out.

Good work, Pauliedude.

July of last year was at least 6 months into his diet IIRC.
EDIT:
what Csulli said.
Very impressive transformation.
Paulie is the man.

Oooh! I feel so honored I have a dick rider chasing my posts now!
That pic you posted isn’t in his hub profile as of this post that I saw (just went through it again). I was referring specifically to what I saw in his hub.
But, thanks for the clarification!
PS: You win at Internet tough guy! Now that we got that out of the way, we can save a lot of future posts where you chase me around!

Steely, I like you but come on man.
You know that isn’t helping.
Aren’t you close to 40? (If I’m way off I apologize
Be the bigger man and don’t perpetuate the nonsense.
Plus, who over the age of 25 says “dick rider”?
That’s so lame lol
Rise above it bro.

Don’t flatter yourself, responding to a stupid comment you made in a thread that showed up directly below the other thread I was reading isn’t “chasing your posts”. Unrustle your jimmies.
I know Paul from outside of T-Nation, threw the picture up before the inevitable “how fat is not fat” argument got started and derailed this thread.
left 252 In December about a month before starting my cut. Right couple days ago the day after a binge meal that put me up to 292 for a couple days.
Edit: 192 on the right.
oh and a lot of people are leaving comments about me appearing bigger.
just to put the size difference of a big cut into perspective I went from having 19 inch cold flexed arms to arms just under 17 inches cold flexed and from a tight XL shirt to a tight medium

OK, big guy. Trust me, I don’t need to flatter myself or get bent out of shape over e-shit. LOL.
Why don’t we leave Paul’s thread alone and let him enjoy his accomplishments.

Awesome, Paulie.
You’ve come a long way and lost some serious amount of lard, there whilst preserving your size.
You even look bigger and I’m not sure whether it’s just due to you being leaner or leaner and more muscular.
Care to elaborate on that a bit?
If you’re putting up comparison shots, please do so wearing that old “down to fuck” tank of yours.

DUDE WTF YOU ARE LOOKING RETARDED BIG in your avi.
Freaking sick man.
Glad you could drop in as well man, you’re a favorite poster of mine.
and sad to say back when I lived in NC me and some roommates had a falling out and the girl that bought me that shirt stole it back and I didn’t even realize until I moved to another state.
First of all I’d like to thank everyone for the kind words.
Secondly, I’d like to address why I stopped cutting.
Like others have mentioned I’ve been cutting for a long time I’m kinda just ready to get back on the gaining side of things.
My coach actually recommended that we start on the off season. His reasoning was that my calories were getting awfully low and that he could diet me down better later on when I am eating more. Also even though he didn’t say so I got the vibe that he could tell dieting was beginning to take a big toll on me mentally.
Like I said in my other point, dieting was starting to take a toll on me mentally. It was getting harder and harder not to binge during cheat meals. Obviously there are solutions to this like home cooking my cheat meals but I guess I enjoyed going out too much.
I’m working around injuries. For the last month or so I’ve been rehabbing my biceps/forearms and my injury has me curling 20 lb dbs for my top sets. Also my tricep tendonitis is starting to flare up and I’d rather not diet any more playing around with baby weights. (more of a mental thing)
But anyways like I said I’m two weeks into reverse dieting and even though I’m enjoying myself a little more as a college kid should during the summer (a little bit of extra alcohol and food) I’ve been able to drop a couple pounds in the reverse dieting process.
