Why risk losing all the gains that you have worked so hard for? I mean unless you prefer to eat that way I don't see what the point is.

You want to be able to push your muscles to the max as you lean out.

If you have to cut all the way down to 130 again you may quit this game completely. I don't want to see that. I need more competition not less to be able to stay motivated. 😛

It should only be possible if you're still learning a new lift, powerlifting vs. bodybuilding, or are a beginner. I did it recently but only because I optimized my protein intake. So you'd fit into the powerlifting vs. bodybuilding slot.

If you would have kept your routine the same, you would have gained more strength. But more strength doesn't always equal more muscle. Going higher rep should be superior for bulking.

I just read your post again...weaker on a bulk?! Like you're actually getting weaker as you go? No, never should that happen. Pound for pound weaker? Maybe, but you should definitely be and feel stronger in a surplus. There is a reason the strongest people are big and fat. Your training really shouldn't change when you cut. Maybe fewer total sets but the rep ranges and weights should stay the same unless it isn't possible because you're getting weaker as you get lighter.

Well, you aren't tracking everything unless you rested 9 hours on top of sleeping 8 yesterday.

Idk about the deloading, I've never done that. If I have, it came naturally.

I guess I just eventually break through. Like a big dumb muscle head, stubborn as all get out. :P

You know what happens to people who over think around here. They delete all my posts and think protein or 🌽 causes fat gain. Imagine avoiding fruit and veggies and doubling down on bacon and pork rinds. Is it logical? Who cares, eat fat to burn fat man! This isn't rocket science and you don't need to unlock some obesity code or some muscle building puzzle. Hard work and consistency is all it really comes down to. Oh, and don't forget CICO as it's 60% of it. Resistance training and protein intake make up the other 40.
