coldo u sound like me 5years ago your eating loads but finding it hard to cut... U answered your own question there bud. My diet is more than good enough for what i do at mo and minus the shakes its the same as yours! There's no point in lifting big if u cant do a Minimum of at least 8- 10reps otherwise you basicly just pump your muscles up rather than tear them. I dont listen to all the science just the bits i've found to be correct
