    Going through some rough stuff at home these days.

    I'm going to continue cutting until the situation resolves itself, and then I will reassess.

    I may be in a better situation to count calories by the end of it. Which would be good, if I want to concentrate on a lean bulk... But bad in just about every other way possible.

    Suppose I did do a slow bulk - aiming for 0.5 pounds a week. From this point, how long should I do that? Obviously, until I'm fatter than I'm comfortable with, but I wonder at what weight that might end up being and how much lean mass I could build and hold on to at this age.

    I think that's hard to predict since it depends on the "until I'm fatter than I'm comfortable with" part, and you don't know how you're going to react when the initial bloating/weight regain occurs. I recall my first bulk seemingly going from lean to fatass in what seemed like a few weeks.

    Ideally you'd like a long bulk but I think you need to let your tolerance for fatness have a say in it.

    While there's logic in bulking (I can see the argument in it), I think you may as well continue the cut for another 3-4 weeks to set yourself up for a longer bulk period, provided that you're not facing any performance or adherence issues currently.

    Thanks for the comment...

    Yeah, I have no problem adhering to a calorie restriction. I'm still basically IFing and so I'm able to eat myself into the preferred stupor without overdoing the calories and thus I can continue cutting forever if I want to. I am fully aware that I need to eventually put some muscle mass on but I don't think I'm quite ready to do that yet. I'm guessing I'm sitting at around 15% BF. In another month I could probably lose 5-7.5 pounds without any strength loss, as I have backed off on weights and have had no trouble adding poundage and volume over the past could of weeks. 5 pounds would put me at 158, which would be my lightest scale weight since I can remember. I was probably lighter when I was starving during my move to Indianapolis, but that doesn't count because I wasn't lifting at all.

    Overall Impression: This went pretty well. I felt pretty strong all the way through except on the last set of Pendlay Rows. Probably due to a form issue. Weighed in at 163.2 this morning.

    Two of these are on the way... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    In a month or two, I'll get this guy... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00245TWWG/...=I58567YT8X72O

    So I'll be able to fit more weight on my bar and I won't have quite the fear of death that I have with my current bench.

    Workout A:

    Overall Impression: Went pretty well - a bit faster than usual due to my new plates living on the hamstring curl mechanism. Those went easier, too - I wonder if it's due to a greater concentration of weight in one spot.

    Bench Press 150 X 5
    Hamstring Curl 125 X 10
    Military Press 90 X 5
    Barbell Curl 75 X 5

    Bench Press 150 X 5
    Hamstring Curl 125 X 10
    Military Press 90 X 5

    Bench Press 150 X 5
    Hamstring Curl 125 X 10
    Military Press 90 X 5
    Barbell Curl 75 X 6

    Bench Press 150 X 3 145 X 2
    Hamstring Curl 125 X 10
    Military Press 90 X 5
    Barbell Curl 75 X 5

    Bench Press 145 X 5

    The nuts and bolts are so stripped that by the end of each workout, nine of the twelve fall out of their places and I have to put things back together for the next workout. This bench - an IMPEX model that was $100 about eight years ago - has been to war.

    Workout B:

    Overall Impression: Felt pretty good. I believe that the inch or so difference in height provided by the new plates is going to do me well. Not such a jerking motion to get things into place to start my floor pulls.

    Stiff Legged Dead Lifts 195X7

    Compared to your pictures of 2-3 years ago, your lordosis seems to have improved, or at least, you no longer look "forever pregnant".
    What exactly made it for you?

    I don't really know... I think that it's a combination of a few things... Weight loss, compound lifts, stretches, planks, IF, adequate hydration, and getting into the habit of tensing my abs and glutes so much that I don't really even notice I'm doing it anymore...

    It's nice to see someone noticing something... It has been so gradual for me that I don't notice it much.

    Tensing the abs and glutes all the time is a good habit I think, as it counters how passive they are while we're sitting (which is a lot of our time nowadays)

    Workout B

    Overall Impression: Still going pretty well and progressing. Enjoying the use of the new plates. I'm starting to think about picking up a weight vest for my pull ups and push-ups. I really love these exercises and would like to keep doing them all the way through training. Weighed in at 161.6 this morning. Slow weight loss is best weight loss, right? Spare all this muscle! All this, ha ha.

    Workout A:

    Overall Impression: Not a terrible workout. I finished it and went up in weights where I could. I did tweak my neck on the third set of OHP, which sucked... It hurt for the rest of the workout, but I felt stronger on the remaining sets. Strange stuff. I don't know... My wife has been gone this week, so I did crack 160.0 yesterday, but I gained it ALL back today. All the way back to 160.

    Bench Press: 150 X 5
    Hamstring Curls: 127.5 X 10
    Overhead Press: 95 X 4, 90 X 1
    Barbell Curl: 80 X 5

    Bench Press: 150 X 5
