What are your plans after this cut Troy? You planning on bulking some more? Or maintaining?

I'm thinking that I need to cut more right now.
I'd like to get to a 34 inch waist (new wardrobe!) and see how that looks.
Right now I am wearing 36's and tightening the belt more.

I think if I get to the 34, I'll feel better and like the look and probably just try to slowly grow lean muscle from there with no type of bulking cycles.

Who knows - in a year or two I could pick up another 1/2 inch on the arms and another inch on the thighs and chest without gaining any gut!
That my friend would be SWEET!
(Especially for a 45 year old)

Nice. Approximately how much are you losing weekly? I know you don't do cardio, so you'd be burning less muscle..

Honestly - if I stick to it and avoid sugar I can knock off two pounds a week, but I almost always have a cheat day and accept a pound a week in general. By the scale I have lost 10 pounds in 12 weeks, but I pay more attention to how I feel as far as energy and recovery and eat according to that.

Update - no new photos and have just been maintaining the last month and a half. Strength has increased while I've kept the weight and fat off.

Will try to get a couple photos in the next four to six weeks.
