I've bulked up from 155 to 165 pounds and increased my calorie intake from 2500 to 3200 over about three months. Then I cut down to 2700 calories, increased my steps, and have been at this level for a few months, but I'm still hovering around the same weight and haven't gotten much leaner. Has my metabolism caught up? Should I re-bulk for a week and try again?
Has my metabolism caught up after bulking up from 155 to 165 pounds, increasing my caloric intake from 2500 to 3200 calories, then cutting down to 2700 calories, increasing my steps, and maintaining the same weight for a few months while probably overtraining and not getting enough sleep? Should I re-bulk for a week and try again?
