    I ran CBL Density Bulking last summer to gain strength for sport, I was very successful with it in gaining weight and strength with minimal fat. I am going to start CBL again, but wondering if i should do Prep phase or am I okay to go right into it like i did before. I am pretty lean, abs are really visable. So i was thinking i could follow just like i did before and start right up. Also what is suggested macro split for lean muscle/strength gains. im 6' 170lbs trying to get to 185 by july.

    You'll be fine to just to about doing SA. I would keep protein at that target BW. The fats should be worked with that target BW as well as carbs. Use the Charts as a good guideline.

    So from what I remember, I haven't tapped back into my book yet. SA backload on workout days, or back to back off days for next days training. And ULC on off days. Fat & Protein 1:1 ratio? Should total calories be lower on off days compared to days with carbs (training days) I would assume so.

    On SA, i have tried to keep cals on off days near what they are on training days by ramping up the fat intake.  Naturally, the CBL days have turned out higher as ive been hungrier after training.  I only did this as i've had problems with not making much progress when my cals were far too low on off days

    So your taking in more then 1 g per lb of fat on off days? Hows your success with this?Also If im doing HIIT and a small muscle group like calves (tonight i plan to do some HIIT and calves) I wouldn't need a backload right?
