Long story short, after I was done playing collegiate football as an offensive linemen back in may 09 I weighed 275, I took a month off and cut my calories to 2000 and tracked what I ate. I'm down to about 235, and have upped my calories to 2500, still tracking what i eat.
I've been stuck at this weight for nearly 4-5 months now, and I don't really want to start cutting anymore calories.
I work out 3 days a week, and play bball for cardio at least twice. My workouts are as follows
Monday
squats 5x5 (375 max 5 reps)
power cleans 5x5 (255 max 5 reps)
standing calves 4x8
front squats 4x8
ham curls 4x8
weight box squats 4x8
wednesday
bb bench 5x5 (285 max 5 reps)
db include 4x6
bb press 4x8
cable cross 4x8
dips to fatiuge
pullups to fatigue
6 sets of lat pulls (weak area)
friday
deads 5x5 (265 max 5 reps)
db rows 4x8
bent db raises
bent elbow raises
shoulder circuit
biceps
I'm wondering if I need to switch to a bulk because I've been restricting my intake since may 09, and wondering if I would benefit more so from a bulk. and then cut again.
Also should I consider that its the summer time and keep cutting until summer is over.

playing bball twice a week isn't going to cut it for cardio. On a serious cut you're looking at 30 minutes 4-5 times a week after your workouts or on their own if you want to see a difference. I also don't know where your calories come from (I would need to see your diet layed out) but assuming that they are very clean calories upping your cardio will definitely help.

By basketball I mean playing pick up games for at least an hour some times up to 2 hours.
My diet consists of
breakfast- 2-3 eggs, 1c brown rice or 2 slice whole wheats
snack- oats or sludge, fruit,
lunch- can of chicken or tuna, 1 tbsp mayo, w/ or w/o 1-2 slices of bread, fruit
snack- 1 oz almonds
dinner- 6-8oz chicken, salad, ff dressing w/ evoo, usually some avacados
usually that is my meal, and hit my macros about 90% of the time. It does vary a little from day to day but the first 2 meals are usually the same.[June] - 245
