THis is what I use too. Love them and so do my hips

So I decided to give you guys a little insight into some of my offseason diet strategies today. When increasing bodyweight in the offseason there seems to come a time where it becomes very difficult to keep gaining...this point is different for each individual based on many variables but this point occurs. I'm at that point where I'm eating to the point of nauseousness and still the scale does not move.
WHAT DO I Do at this point? What i do and have many clients do is..........start a strict cut for 2 weeks. I'll likely lose 6 to 8lbs (including water, glycogen, fat) then i jump back onto my mass meal plan using the short term rebound effect.

What kind of results do i see from this?
If I'm stuck at 220lbs (i am) i will likely lose 7lbs during my 2 week cut then rebound in my mass phase up 9 to 10 lbs. Giving me a net increase of 2-3lbs per month.....or if repeated monthly over a period of a year an increase of 25-35lbs with a bodyfat level pretty much the same as month 1.

I know this a non-standard approach to mass gaining but it does work.

What is your theory as to why this stalling occurs DK?

Hope everyone's having a great New Year's Eve. I celebrated with an insane arm workout with one of my training partners... chilling out with my family watching movies and eating all kinds of junk now. Just enjoying the blessings I've been given.

As we start a new year and people start new resolutions, remember that its unlikely that when you're looking back at your life as an old man or woman that you wished you worked more and played less. It's unlikely you'll regret being a better friend, a better Dad or a better spouse. So get your priorities straight folks. Love more, give more, do more for others without expecting anything in return.
Make 2013 memorable!

Well said!

Can't rep you or I would - nice words :)

So I just finished my 2 week cut. Sitting around 210 now but abs are very visible now and I'm primed for a nice rebound. Starting mass up phase again today. Strength wasn't affected much by the keto in fact earlier this week i had one of the best days in year's.
I'm breaking new ground size wise now (for me).
Anyway time to eat some cream of brown rice and eggs before killing arms.

Weight is coming back again...back up to 212 and increasing daily. Had a good chest day last night.

Flat bench 135 x 15 warmup, 135 x 10 warmup, 225 x 5 warmup, 315 x 6, 295 x 8, 275 x 10
Incline bench 185 x 10, 275 x 8, 295 x 4
Flat hammer strength plate loaded bench 3 plates per side x 10, 4plates per side x 7, 2 plates per side x 25

nice benching!

Crazy delt workout last night... the burn was so intense that simply standing without supporting my arms on a machine was painful. Anyway weight rebound up to 214.5 this morning. Appetite is good and conditioning is better than 3 weeks ago. Lol so many guys at the gym think I weigh 240lbs
