@holistic.hev: Here's my plan to put on 5-10 lbs. of muscle over the next couple of months. Obviously, putting on muscle takes more time than losing fat. It's a slower process, but I believe I could do at least 1-2 lbs. of muscle a month if I'm eating properly and timing my carbs really well around my training to maximize muscle gain and minimize fat gain. I'm also training heavier, harder, and longer because my recovery is better due to the excess calories and carbs I'm giving my body. I'll stay with this surplus for a couple of months. Once I put on around 15 lbs. total, I'll start my cut and then cut all the way back down to around 205-210. That'll be the final weight and probably the last time I ever do this.
