>I’m just talking about the utility of self-defense.
Absolutely, since this is /fa I'll tell you this personal anecdote which would be blasphemy on /fit.
I've been going to a swimning pool since two years+, one hour a day 6 times a week; before the lockdown I used to eat meat regularly, then I noticed to my horror that I started having difficulties to shove my arms into shirts and jackets, because I gained mass on my arms.
Since the lockdown -I live in Italy, the first western country to enforce it- the pool closed for three months plus one needed to print and carry a piece of paper just to get out of his house, I started shopping for food once a week/10 days, and I dropped the meat completely since I stayed home all the time.
I realized after 2 weeks already that all the 'new' strength in my arms was gone, so I decided it was the ideal time for a cut, which I did.
Since mid May the lockdown was lifted, the pool reopened and I added 4/5 bike rides a week just bsc I was so sick of staying shut it. I kept the meat consumption very low, and since December I've lost almost 20 kg, I can now wear clothes that stayed in my closet for YEARS.
That's to say I'd absolutely cut / slim down rather than acquiring mass, on the self defense bit it also depends where you live, I noticed in the anglo world there's a lot of punching, while where I live that's pretty rare, fights are most often takes and holds for some reason; in order to avoid being embarassed you'll just need to be strong in the pic related area.
But as I said I've got already a rather large frame, if that wasn't the case maybe I'll be on the bulk wagon myself.
