Re-Reswitching gears
A quick recap of the situation:
I got down to 227 by Feb., where I could lose no more
I put on muscle for a few weeks in March, ~10lbs gain
I began cutting again and got to 222, where I could lose no more.
Obviously, my bulk had an effect. It allowed me to lose an additional 5lbs. But, the duration of only 2-3 weeks was too short to do my metabolism justice. I’m now ending week 2 of my second bulk. This time, I plan to continue my progress for 8 full weeks. Already I’ve seen significant gains in my lifts, accompanied by significant fat gain unfortunately.
Around Fall, I’ll begin cutting weight again. By the year’s end, I hope to be a leaner, more muscular man. If all goes according to plan, my weight will be around 210-215, my bodyfat percent will be approximately 25% and my bench press will be over 300lbs. I know that, given the timeframe, these goals may seem conservative. But, there is no telling what further complications may be in store for my metabolism, making rates of loss and gain hard to figure.
