What makes the difference? Well, my metabolism probably helps quite a bit. But I do the basic ****ing lifts (with some variation for my personal preference but with deadlift at the core of it all) and maintain my calories. That's it. I'm not the most ripped dude in the gym (though I would love to look like Silock, I love beer way too much), but I look powerful.
The key (to me) of it all is... deadlift. That shit makes you look like a strong mother****er. It builds your yoke and makes you look badass. Just lift, and your body will come along at this point regardless of diet, not that there's anything wrong with watching your diet now, either.
