Week three on I will keep cardio to 25-30 minutes and end up with about 3000 calories and eat like the above plan with 4 carb meals. (200-250 carbs)

Will this be ok or will I put too much fat back on.

I will be stacking the following and continue for 8 weeks and adjust from there.

Just keep the bulk clean as possible and do cardio 2-3 times a week for 45 min and you should keep fat at a minimum.
Good luck man!

Thanks. It seems my sweet spot is around 3200 calories for good gains but with that NO2, I willbe hungry as a bear but hell, I am hungry all the time no matter how I am eating so who cares.

I do not like lifting in the evening due to being a little tired but I love morning cardio and my coffee so that is the way it has to be. The 5 day cutting split could be making me tired, might try a 3 or 4 day routine.

ya, just up the calories as you see fit. Once you are at your maintenance I would jump up 500 calories, yielding 1 lbs. increase each week etc.
Keep foods fairly clean and you should see excellent gains!!

Thanks again, will try it for a while. I get sick of dieting 7 months out of the year. The closest thing I will be to cheating is oats and plain yogurt for every meal on Sundays.

Either cut or bulk, don't mix it up, cause you won't get neither big nor cut that way...

you're going to put water back into your system and glycogen will replenish in your muscles. so you won't look "as" good when you start eating again. but it isn't fat, just get mentally prepared for eth bulk and HIT IT!
