i ate at maintenance, lifted 5 days per week, and did cardio 3 times per week. that was pretty effective for me.

That is what I am doing at the moment, lifting for hypertrophy @ maintenance with some good cardio, and am undergoing surprising recomp especially at my age and training experience and almost no supplementation.

perhaps for some. My body is weird though. If I bulk and go straight into cutting, I lose almost all of my gains.

whereas, my body responds very very well to re-comp type stuff. I have the rare quality of being able to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, but only at certain points (which is right after a bulking phase).

a friend of mine who I call my brother (he isn't a blood relative, but he might as well be), is the opposite. If he does a "recomp" phase the way I do, he just stagnates, and then can't kick his body into gear to bulk or cut. It is odd how that works for him.

Then again, a lot of the things I do are unconventional, but they work for me. Maybe you have to be a genetically altered mouse for my training/dieting habits to work for you.

oh yes, it's true!!!:yes:

Being 38, I don't have super-duper results at recomposition unless diet is plain GREAT. It has not been. Still, since the beginning of the year, my measurements have changed like this... [Opens the Excel spreadheet]...

Hey Grunt ... any chance we could see what your diet looks like on this recomp?

Actually, yes. As I mentioned, it's been pretty crappy, but I keep a fairly detailed log @ fitday.com. I also log my activities and calorie expenditures.
