Thanks Mark have read it, I'm also halfway through practical programming right now and really enjoying it.
Guys you're right I need to gain muscle and get stronger. I have some fat to lose as well. I'm eating at a 1000 or maybe a bit less deficit right now (I know it's extreme I just want to get the job done). I might even be above 20% bodyfat. I don't care about abs and have no ambitions of being a bodybuilder, though my midsection is like a balloon, if I ate my way to 270 it'd be spherical. Is there any reason why I should start eating like an animal now when my deadlifts still go up 10lbs every time (at 375), and my squats still go up 5lbs (270), if I'm losing fat and getting stronger without failing reps, why eat more now? Why not just start eating more when my deadlifts and squats stall?
