I have a question about the episode Working Out Like THIS Is The BEST WAY to Get An Incredible Physique | Mind Pump 2006 and the clip Bulk Strategy Insights. I've bulked up from 155 to 165 pounds and increased my caloric intake from 2500 to 3200 over about three months. Then I cut down to 2700 calories, increased my steps, and have been at that weight for a few months but still hover around the same weight and haven’t gotten much leaner. However, I am also overbooked at work, probably overtraining, and not getting as much sleep as I should. Has my metabolism caught up? Should I re-bulk for a week and try again?
I have a question about this episode Use Fast Reps For More Muscle Growth | Mind Pump 2399 and the clip Bulk vs. Cut. 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 now that 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?
