I don`t know my weight. But I will tell you that bulking up to a high bodyfat is not too smart to do unless you know how to lose the weight.
Most people never make it back down to ever see their abs again and just get stuck and are relegated to to being a fat ass. Then the delusionality sets in. That whole mantra, eat big to get big is a bunch of shit.
I do not plan to ever bulk up again, I can confirm that there is no benefit to doing it. However, if you love food and just want to see how much weight you can push, then it is fun. But in reality, it is a waste.

You will pay for it for a few months, that is if you ever plan on seeing your abs again.

Yep. The "strength" you do lose is not from lost muscle anyway, but more from completely depleted glycogen. You know you are fueled by that stored fat when this happens. It is a good feeling.

The "strength" is also relative. When you go down in weight your lifts may drop, but so is your bodyweight. You will find that your lifts, although maybe lower, you will in fact be stronger in that your power to weight ratio is way better.

The "strength" you had when you were fatter is also due to fat and water making better mechanical levers and stabilization. It is easier to squat with a thicker waist and thicker legs from fat.

The "Strength" you lose comes back in about 3-5 weeks after finishing dieting. What happens is pretty cool. Your bodyweight increases slightly but your "Strength" from your old lifts catches up and may perhaps even pass your old fat level. Thus you are lean with the same strength levels and poundages that you were using.

Monster Truths that always get left out.

This is true, im living proof, and going through hell for it now/paying the price...but im getting there.
Your abs are the best gauge to monitor your conidtioning..if they fade out, adjust your eating habits..if they are good keep dong what your doing, just keep protiein intake high..cant wait to be in great shape year around..

Muscle is HARD to lose in actuallity.

This is the truth. Imho you don't even need to keep the protein high, the only reason high protein (say higher than the USDA recommended amount of 70 grams) is important is that it helps to avoid hunger.

Looks very good.

Anything TA's posted up to this point isn't even close.

This pic actually shows a very impressive physique IMO.

You're on your way TA.

I told you so.

Bulking is a myth created by the supplement industry to sell more MRP weight gainer and protein powder, and then thermogenics when you want to cut. The trick is they convince you that you need to eat 6-7 meals and of course no one can eat that in whole food so you have to buy the protein and MRPs. Then you get so fat you need to cut, but they tell you that you still need to eat many meals just smaller ones so you still need to protein, but you also need the thermogenics now to lose the fat.

The worst part is that bulking doesn't even really help naturals to gain muscle. I can't speak for juicers but I'm guessing it's the same thing with them. They might need more calories but it probably isn't necessary for them to get fat either.

I think Adonis is a dick but he is the only guy who gives the truth about training. Doesn't just spout some BS he read in one of those stupid ass magazines or the crap info that Drugged up pros give. I really like reading his advice. You should consider writing articles on the "real truth" about natural bodybuilding.

I am experiencing this now, as I have been eating pretty clean for about a month. I like being cut, but I feel smaller and I don't really like not being able to lift as much. I am doing it just for the mental challenge, and it is amazing how leaned out you can get in just a few weeks. I am going to keep it up a little while longer and see what it looks like. I am pretty used to not eating crap at this point.
