Wow, tons of advice! Thanks guys.
First off, BiggT. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a huge issue with my weight and I don't think I'm obese. I just began to wonder whether it'd be better to lose some fat before bulking again. You're right though - sticking to this weight for a while and recomp'ing would be better than cutting right now. Bulk-recomp-bulk-recomp rather than bulk-cut-bulk-cut. I can cut when things get really messy. Long term, I want to be a lot bigger, say 240.
Sarge, my diet's been pretty clean for a long time and I do eat a lot because of it. There is nothing to clean up really. It's funny, people think I have a bit of a gut because I'm lazy and don't eat well, but it took a lot of effort to develop
CS, I'd like to add cardio but I'm usually too tired. I've worked most weekends this year refurbing a house, which means Tues and Thurs have been my only rest evenings. The house is done now, so I might add something in again. I definitely feel better (more alert, etc) when I do some kind of cardio.
Ok, starting next week, I'm going to do another high volume loading phase like the Korte.
Mon: squat, bench, row
Wed: squat, bench, dead
Fri: squat, bench, row
Less deads to make sure I don't bust my shoulder again and because I want to row. I'll do that for 4 weeks, which will take me to my holiday. Reps will be something like 5x5 in week 1 up to 8x5 in week 4. I'm not going to obsess over food, but I'll keep my weight around 180. Sound like a plan? I'll make another journal too.
