Still bulking as always, and my waist size actually went down. About 35 3/4 down from 36+. Deadlifting definately adds some of the waist thickness. My diet has been cleaner lately though, mostly homemade stuff and less fast food. A few changes in diet and I can keep it manageable. Its cheaper to eat this way anyway, and has been real effective. More protein shakes, peanut butter,bread and cheese. I made a pound of ground beef in tacos with sour cream, cheese and salsa the other day. I ate some fast food today though, 2 double quarter pounders w/ cheese for breakfast with some fries. Time for more food!!
