I have noticed that as well.



A 5'5" guy I know has said something similar. When he is heftier (not necessarily bulk muscle), he pulls more than when he is lighter.
I will agree with this. I am 5' 8" and about 180-185 lbs when in peak condition but I seem to do better around 195-205 lbs in terms of women.

Part of this is due to lifting extremely heavy weight for a long period of time(powerlifting weight) I have an exceptionally muscular base that doesn't go anywhere. I stopped working out for almost a year at one point due to surgery and injuries and literally still had massive shoulders, chest and back. Wasn't as solid but the size was still there.

At 5’7 and an ectomorph, I pull better during bulk season. I’m around 170 lbs whole bulking, 160-165 while cutting. I look aesthetically better at the lighter weight, but pull less women. Go figure.
Same...I am a cross between an endo and mesomorph with very broad shoulders/chest and have noticed when I am between 195-205 lbs I do better than when I am 180-185 lbs.

Why? I have no idea. However even if I get up to 210-215 lbs I have women tell me I am muscular so I am lucky in that I can carry quite a bit of extra weight well due to having a large frame.
