Some history about my diet. I elected to increase my daily caloric intake to around 3200 calories during the winter (50%pro/30%carb/20fat) and go heavier with my lifts. I did gain strength and some size, but I have to admit that I did not feel that great. I then cut down the calories to around 2700-2800 just before the beginning of Spring using the same macros as before. I've leaned up some over the past month or so and feel good at my current weight (163lbs at 5'8). So do I feel that I accomplished my goal of gaining a few lbs of mass? I think so. I've just come to realize that my body mostly consist of slow twitch muscle and I'll never be a very big guy. I'm 100% natty and always will be, so I guess I should stress more on definition and remaining lean moving forward.

Please critique.

Grace and peace,
Mavsluva

Great definition, like you said go with your strengths. I definitely think your frame could retain about 15-20lbs more. You've got some room to grow in your shoulders and back.

I've had a few folks PM me inquiring about the small hole in the middle of my back along my spinal region. That's a scar that resulted from having a catheter installed in me for a number of months back when I had cancer. They actually took a small chunk of skin from my backside to help fill in the hole. I could lie and say it was a gun shot wound, but a bullet to the spinal cord would have left me for dead!
