There's a guy at my gym who runs the comp team. He's fucking ripped and strong as fuck. Zero body fat. Pound-for-pound, strongest dude I've ever met. He doesn't do anything but heavy, Olympic-style lifting. He keeps telling me that that is why he's ripped. I keep telling him he has some crazy genetic thing happening that he can't see.
I think a mix is best. It's been best for me. I tell him (and myself) that I don't want to put on any more muscle* because my knees are happiest when I'm at my current weight or below.
