That's right, just get used to the idea of lifting more. It will build muscle. also, read more on muscle building - become an expert. remember, BF% is a 2 part calculation the fat and the lean. work on building more of the lean for a while. this will alter the BF%. Do more rows, to build out the lats, this will shift the position of the middle body fat and maybe you'll be satisfied with that. see where I am going? Just get bigger muscles before going to the next weight goal. Work on you eating. also, when lifting, take a break every few excercises and go do 3 min of cardio. Get you heart rate up so that you are burning fat while lifting. all problems are solved that way. it's called HIIT training. you can read about that here on bodybuilding.com well, having been working with this decision for over a year, I will vote for - take a break from thinking about it, and just lift heavier.

I just broke my 175lb plateau as well. With eggs, perhaps? Usually bulking I just happen to do half whites and half whole eggs for the extra slow digesting protein and some fats and get them down pre-workout. I use 8 eggs total though with 1/4 cup shredded cheese and a couple spoon-fulls of picante sauce. Hmm, what a coincicense. I just broke my 175lb plateau as well. With eggs, perhaps?

Great job. By the way I bought some BCAA powder by ON. Disgusting stuff but I am sure it works and that's all that matters. Thanks for the advice. Have a great day!

Thanks for the feedback. It's great to hear. By superficial, more than anything else, I meant that it's not so important whether you lift one plate or two or whatever; it's most important that you're always pushing yourself to whatver limits you've got. I like seeing the person who's working their a** off with the 25s who cares about making themselves better more than I do the dude who's got tons of weight piled on for ego but only does half a reps with crappy form. Thanks again for the pat on the back. Xue (not sure how else to refer to you. Thanks for the feedback. It’s great to hear.
