calorie reduction seems like the way to go:

I have been limiting my calories, eating three normal size meals a day instead of the usual 5-6 meals that bodybuilders eat. I only weigh 150 at 5'9" and I think my body composition is improving. I have held onto the muscle I had at 175 and even added a little. My strength has actually increased as well (I pulled a 2.5X bodyweight Deadlift, 375). I'm sure most of the responses I get will be "monster bodyweight" or something similar, but I just thought I would put this possibility out there for everyone to consider. It is possible to get stronger, look good, AND BE HEALTHY.

I felt terrible while bulking, and looked terrible, too. At a bodyweight approaching 180 pounds, I was just too heavy. Lighter does feel better.

I admit I am not that big. And I was only 180 with a ton of food and water in my stomach

But later I bulked up to a fairly lean 174 with abs.

I firmly believe that bulking too much isn't productive..you feel like shit, can move normally, and aren't healthy...
--In a "bulking phase" don't get too heavy...just go up to where your bf is around 12-13%...that should be just fine...

180 lbs is "crackhead skinny" at 5'9" so I can't imagine you at 150. Are you on some crystal meth right now? If so be careful not to leave any friends in the trunk of your car, set it on fire and run accross state lines to get a pedicure. Just a suggestion.

Actually I weigh 160-plus, with abs. I don't want to get too big because I also like distance running. I did a half-marathon length run last summer and I would like to work my way up to marathon length. I am 5-9 1/2.

I don't see how it is gay. It is a great test of aerobic endurance and mental strength.

I tend to agree with SS. I bulked to 235 and was miserable. My joints were sore....knees and ankles. I tey to stay at 210 now and fell much better. I never really enjoyed the bloated look I had. Unless you are training to compete, what is the point of bulking. Very few people on this board will ever step on stage. Hell, the gas is the worst part of when I was bulking. I was farting all the damn time.
