I am a 28.5-year-old male, 8-13% body fat, and weigh 142lbs. My goals are to master compound lifts and achieve hypertrophy. I am unsure if I want to be tracking calories my whole life, and I don't know what it will be like to maintain my weight at 145-160lbs without an app. What should I do in my situation: follow a more distinct bulk phase right now, adding .5lbs per week / .35%BW per week, then cutting and repeating; or a moderate bulk at .2-.3lbs per week / .15-.21%BW per week and then maintain at 145lbs or 150lbs?
I am 35, a father of two beautiful girls, and I've been working as a mailman in a delivery service for the past year. I am 185 cm tall and weigh 96 kg, having previously weighed up to 155.6 kg a few years ago. Is it possible that I'm eating too little? Should I eat more now that I have started anabolic training, or should I stick to a deficit? I'm just a little afraid of getting much heavier.
