Steel - just an FYI but I've maintained abs for years, in my biggest winter bulking phase they've gone kind of vague underneath some fat but I've kept them out sharp for some pretty long times, even when gaining overall mass. My experience is that true 'bulking' and 'cutting' cycles work best for those using drugs -- natural lifters need to stay fairly lean, b/c they'll lose practically as much muscle as fat when they slim down for a show (toonces or Insex could give us some better info here, as I've never competed). And I've got plenty of energy, as I tend to do a few endurance-athlete type events (to be perfectly fair, though, I will use glucose packs for a 10k).
Being big (or at least bigger than most other people) and ripped isn't an impossible state to reach, or really even that difficult. But it doesn't involve a lot of sweets, and it doesn't involve much xbox, either.
