What is your question?
stats
5'10"
170lbs / 77kg
waist at navel 29.5"
squat 140kg x 16
weighted chins +57.5kg x 6
incline bench 115kg x 6
flat bench 140kg x 4
standing press 87.5kg x 5
ez bar curls 65kg x 5
i've been doing the kinobody 3 day split for years now and my last bulk i put on minimal muscle/strength so i guess it's time to tweak my programming
for the last few years my bulk/cut cycle was
135 (cut down to this at a waist of 29") -> 200 -> 155 -> 200 -> 165 -> 200 -> 167 -> 200 -> 170lbs - > 200 -> 172lbs
i stopped each cut when i got down to 29" waist at the navel so i guess i put on 37lbs of muscle

No deadlift?
Rack pulls instead. I had coaching with a SS coach a few years ago and he told me to do them instead.
He was wrong.
I've been doing rack pulls for years and not touched a deadlift. I tried some today and worked up to 197.5kgx4.
Then why are you wasting your time posting on this board?
This is not what Raghavan said seven years ago:

Someone was just talking about overprescribing rack pulls, who was it?
(Sorry, I've been picking apart another expert's report at work and my hair trigger for disproving invalid claims is going off.)
I wanted some advice on appropriate programming to put on more muscle mass/strength. I've been using the same programming for years and my last bulk I put on minimal strength even though I went from 170-200lbs. It's the kinobody routine I've been using (a 3 day split):
Monday = chest
Wednesday = back
Friday = legs and shoulders
