Pretty happy with what I'm seeing. If I stay at 3000 calories a day (yes, I edged up) I should hit about 182 by the end of May. Then I'll cut for a couple of months and see where I'm at. I feel like i have this under control. Just playing with the macro quantities and qualities now.

Good to see another 50 plus strength trainer on this forum. The difference being that you are bulking and I am on a cut. In your last thread there was discussion of devices to measure body fat. My advice would be get a tape measure and do the US Navy measurements. Also, go by the way your clothing fits. Pants getting snug, time to cut. Shirts getting snug, pants a little loose, you are on the right track. What kind of weight training are you doing? Body building style, powerlifting? Or maybe a hybrid of the two. I have personally been into poewrlifting, and now need to cut as I have been on that powerlifting "SEE"food diet and gained a little too much fat.

Geezer. I am completely aware of the 'see'food diet. I was on it for many, many years. It had nothing to do with lifting though. Well, nothing heavier than a loaded fork. Now I've got the main weight loss exercises down. You know... fork down and table pushaways. At the moment I'm not trying for massive strength gains, though I have seen steady progress in that area. I'm training all body parts twice a week. the bodybuilding 'progressive' approach is working fine for me, and it allows the old aging bod to let the sinew and cartilage adapt to the increased demands. Everything is controlled. That said, I love the squats and deadlifts.
I agree with the 'fit of clothes' technique. I'm in 32" jeans and if they snug up, I will consider buying a pair of 34s though I may not get there. I'm using calipers and also the tape measure to measure fat. Everything is wrong - Something in the middle is right. My goal is to cut any time I hit 15% body fat. I'll cut to about 10% and then start the whole process over again. I'm not looking at competing so I have no reason to go to 6% or something ridiculous. Besides. I believe it's those 4% that are likely to see you do something stupid and lose muscle mass.
Good health to you.
