Bulking Advice

[pavstar619]

Hey Robert, I just recently finished a 2.5 month cut and Im pretty happy with the results. Now I was thinking of slowly bulking up again. Should I stay at maintenance calories and let my body adjust for a few weeks and is it possible to maintain my waist size and not get fat again? Should I add some HIIT cardio for work capacity?
I was thinking of setting my macros up like this:
Carbs/Protein/Fat
60/25/15% adjustable
Total Calories:2400 per myFitnesspal app
Its easier for me to eat carbs.

Age: 21
Weight: 65>61kg (Current)
Height: 5'3"

Lifts(estimated 1RM):
Squat 140kg
Bench 90kg
Deadlift 150kg

Training: Currently running linear periodization(higher reps to lower reps) for main lifts on an Upper/Lower split 3 training days per week.

Are you missing lifts? What are you currently lifting? Are you male or female?

Are you missing lifts? What are you currently lifting? Are you male or female?

I missed lifts a few weeks before because I got detrained using HLM(lowered the volume too much). So I changed my routine up a bit.
Current Lifting stats:
Squats 94.5kg x 13reps
Bench 62kg x 12reps
Deadlift 102kg x 13reps

I'll run them out till I get to a 3RM then repeat the cycle hopefully.

I'm male.

Explain how you detrained.

Explain how you detrained.

I started missing reps on squats on heavy day. So I thought I'd switch from 3x5 to 3x3 which I did for afew weeks. Then I felt like the stress was too much so I lowered the volume of Medium days from 3x5 to 1x5. Then I started missing reps for 2 weeks.

My bench was consistent. My press stalled. My deadlift stalled too after I hit 140kg for a 3. Couldnt pull it from the ground for 2 weeks.

How big were your jumps?

[pavstar619]

How big were your jumps?

2kg per week on squats, bench and deadlifts. 1kg on press.

2kg per week on squats, bench and deadlifts. 1kg on press.

You called it corectly. Insufficient stress in this case
