Age 41
Height 5'9"
Weight 162.5
I had cut from 173.5 back in Feb thru Sept.
I started a bulk and I really messed it up for past 2 months. Wasn't working out on program and diet was not clean (tough with kid's snacks around and holidays).
So, I cut down to about 150 and now back to 162.5.
I have plenty of gallery shots. Not completely updated as I have gained about 2-3% body fat in past 2 months.
I am mostly disappointed in arms. Barely 13"!
So, should I just get on track with clean bulk and lifting routine and continue clean bulk, or should I go back down to about 153 and start clean bulk over?
Thanks

Based on your most recent photos, I'd cut to about 145.

I agree, cut down and then bulk again. I've been tempted to start a bulk because everyone has started their winter bulk, but starting a bulk too early means more fat.Originally Posted by screwnuts

Thanks
I hate the fact that I really messed up first bulk and gained 10 pounds for nothing. But, would rather cut again and get lean.
I am a believer in wanting to feel good about how I look before the bulk.

Why are you blaming snacks, kids and holidays? Those things are not the problem, you eating too much is the problem. Snacks, kids and holidays will always be in your life I would imagine. That being said, learn to diet and train in a manner that allows you to have your cake and eat it tooOriginally Posted by alewisdvm
"Everyone thinks they're on their way to single digit body fat as soon as they see a blurry four-pack in the right lighting.Your final body weight at 5-6% will be a lot less than what you think.Talk to me again when you get in contest shape." I'd be willing to say that 95% of people on this forum accomplish nothing in years, don't be one of those people. It's sad,they seem to have the knowledge many don't but can't utilize it.

This is 100% accurate. Just got weak minded and lazy. Hurt wrist, and used going off a nice clean bulk because of the injury.Originally Posted by th3pwn3r

I am cutting again just to get body fat back down to where it should be and will retry and nice slow clean bulk.
