Haha that is true and right on! Thanks again! And thanks for the Q and A

Hey Mike! Been doing bls for the last 2 years and loving the program.

So I cut down to 11.5% before Christmas break, then on my vacation I went on a week and a half bender for the most part. I think I just went up like 2-4 actual lbs (11 in water weight right after lol) but now I'm at 12.5% which is a bit discouraging -_- And geez... It seems like every bit of the weight gain went to my waist. Prior to the blow out it was my stomach was almost like pinching my forearm. Now I got it all jiggly and folding on top of itself. It sucks... I also went from a 29.5 to now a 30.5 waist.

My question is.. should I just go onto bulking due too the looong period of time I've already been cutting and to put back on muscle to fuel my cut better? or just go into damage control, keep cutting till I hit my goal of 10%? I ask this because I feel like losing fat is definitely harder post-bender and now I'm back at 2200 cals and I'm ready to go back down to 1900 as I plateau.

I also feel like I've lost a good amount of strength and Muscle throughout this cut just from how long it's been (6 months) deficit>maintanence>deficit>maintanence going from like 18%. But I also weight like 30 lbs less so I guess my PRs are just harder for my weight class now.

Thanks Mike! All the best.
