Explain to me exactly how to do a bulk/reverse diet to achieve my goals. I’d eventually like to lean out and increase my maintenance calories to about 2400-2500 per day. Walk me through exactly how to achieve this.
I would like to gain significant muscle and get stronger in my lifts. I have been doing your programs for about 2 years now, mostly at maintenance calories, and I have gotten a little stronger. However, I know I need to do a reverse diet or bulk. I have been eating around 1700-1900 calories per day (maintenance or slightly below) and weigh about 120 lbs.
I have a question about this episode How Strength Training & Cardio Promotes Younger Skin | Mind Pump 2379 and this Strength and Body Fat. I've completed a bulk at 3000 calories for nine weeks. I started at 232lbs, went to 238lbs in 5 weeks, and for the last 4 weeks, I've stayed at 238lbs. Should I start a cut seeing it seems like my body has adapted to the 3000 calories? I was planning to cut to 2500 calories for 6 weeks, then have a week of maintenance, then another 6-week cut. Is this a good approach?
