why isnt there? Because consistency is way more helpful in terms of making progress. Switching up your routine daily isn't as productive.
Those are the things you hook up with a wire to the bar and they measure power output?

Im right there with you, I want to keep growing but at the same time I cant handle putting on anymore fat
When you starting your cut? I got about 25lbs or so to get rid of total, we can keep each other in check.

The thing with me I didn't plan this bulk I just got lazy with cutting and stopped counting calories but in the grand scheme of things I was bulking since I was at times eating over maintencne and putting on muscle and adding weight to all my lifts. Mentally I didn't call it bulking because I was still trying to cut but would say eff it some days.
There are too many events from May- to thanksgiving to be cutting and it not being part of contest prep IMO. Being that I am no longer obese (not shredded yet but still ) i still eat at a defict a few days out the week to offset my OD days (ie yesterday I had 5700 calories LOLOLOL)
I got homecoming in two weeks which is the only time out the year I drink (my boy gonna sneak me in his gym since they don't have LA fitness in savannah ga so I'm still gonna lift)
Pretty much after thanksgiving there is literally no reason for me to pig out until summer comes so so I can do a legit 5-6 month cut but aim for 1-1.5 lbs a week instead of the 2-3 lbs I was doing before. So me eating at 2250-2500 calories and going down from there won't be as bad as starting out at 1800-2000 and ending at 1500 calories by the end of my cut

Im literally in the same boat, I just hit a plateau in the new year and I couldn't get passed it. I was basically just skinny fat from cutting 50 lbs. Since then Ive added about 25 lbs and make strength gains out the *** so its been gucci.
I know I have my days where I eat crazy high, but you gotta tell me what you ate that day to get damn near 6k haha and how the hell you kept up with it. I don't regret it as bad if I don't keep up with every calorie and know Im going over what I wanted to take in for the day.
I think Im going to start and mine when I get back from chi town. I will start off around 2400 a day and see how long I can go before having to go lower. I refuse to go back to 1800 a day, that **** was for the birds. Plus with the amount of cardio I do from marathon training with my pops and playing ball, I shouldn't have to cut that low until I get to the 10% bf mark, which will be my ultimate goal.

Brah your recent calorie fluctuation has had me crackin up at times cuz of how strict u were.... but keep it up, your an inspiration to me.
I'm gonna get back on a super strict cut going as well but wait till after Christmas.
I cut most of summer cuz i got married last month and wanted to look decent and the past month i've been eating at maintenance and lifting between 3-5 days a week so I'm still losing some fat per week but not nearly what i was.
My body fat is still through the freaking roof but i'll get where I wanna be eventually. I've been on the slow road... but its been a lifestyle change for me.

What are some of you guy's bulking diet looking like? Just a lot of chicken breast? Trying to eat at least 4-5k calories per day about 4-5 times per week. That's why I asked about a mass gainer cause eating tons for me gets kinda irritating...

told you bro! checking these places out is way more fun than just going to the same spots or setting for the hotel fitness center with 30lb dbs and a tread mill.

You can't bulk without beef in my opinion.

bro MyfitnessPAl screwed me up, I was doing cardio lifting and cutting at like 1500 calories, sure I was losing like 3lbs a week but I think I screwed my Metabolism. I think doing what I`m doing while I am gaining fat is gonna help repair my metabolism because in 4 monthsI went from like 228-235 and right now I`m probably still fluctuating in that range (maybe 235-245)

word tried to start Labor day lol BAD IDEA. I've been using common sense and not just pigging out daily, but I have been eyeballing stuff and not counting calories. After Thanksgiving I`m gonna try to go Bodybuilding text book with my Macros and Micros, I figure if I get to 240-245 by thanksgiving and aim to lose 30-40lbs with a 5-6 month cut I will end up at say 210 and then reverse diet . I want to avoid any skinny fatness so I think the muscle I`m gaining now will make things look better when I finish cutting.
