Bulking/Cutting
I have been trying to bullk from high 160’s to 180 for a while and had stalled out at about 175. With some props to JitWit and her friend Victor Dean, I’m glad to say that I seem to be back on track. Turns out that I had somewhat too eagerly followed advice that a 40/40/20 diet was the be-all-end-all, and with some help from Jean and Vic, I’ve ratcheted up the fat (good fat!) a little bit (probably closer to 35/35/30 now) and have finally broken 175 at my morning weigh-in. Now the trick will be to keep lifting hard and not go overboard packing on the pounds. I’m hoping to gradually get up to 180 over the next 4-6 weeks. Assuming all goes as planned, I’m hoping to have a good progress pic comparing the pre-bulking me at about 170 and the post-bulking/cutting me at 170+?
I would welcome comments from anyone willing to share experience with bulking/cutting in terms of how much, how often, how fast, expectations, etc.

thats awsome, its all about finding out what works for your body! I’m doing something a little different, trying to maintain the same weight (well ok maybe gain a little) while dropping BF, since I have no scale, well, I dont know if its working but I feel strong and big so its good
