A few years ago when I got on a good dedicated program I was able to jump from 145 lbs to 175 (I'm 6'2"). I like my weight now but i'm trying really hard to lose this li'l muffin top i've somehow managed to acquire. gunna really try to up the cardio this year.

this is a great thread, though and it def helps me stay informed and motivated.

In an earlier post you stated you weren't looking to get huge, just stronger and leaner.

If you are looking to get strong and gradually add size. Read and learn from the strongest gym in the world, bar none.

Or follow an "old way" of training where you work up then start over. Why on earth would you want to start over when you can just keep progressing, week after week, year after year, indefinitely.

For the lean part regulate your nutrition and do some high intensity cardio...don't just go through the motions.
