Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started.
Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE:
If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point. [Reply]

That is about where I was at for my cut cal wise and you are 10lbs heavier. I cut a bit of cals every month and also had 6 weeks of clen use in that 12 weeks. [Reply]

No offense to Billay but I'll bet you had a lot more lean mass at the same weight when compared to him. No reason he probably shouldn't be around 2k calorie wise. [Reply]

Sure...but he will lose the weight although our body comp wouldn't be the same if he repeated my process. He would likely be happy none the less Id bet. [Reply]

I am just saying based on what I would guess to be his lean mass, there's not reason not to just be around 2,000 calories and start cutting some weight if that's his main goal. Once he's lost a decent amount of fat he could actually add some calories back in (100-200) for a small recomp. That's how I'd attack it anyway.

Well I was going to try 2,300 then assuming at some point when I stall go down to 2,000. I don't wanna just go down to 2,000 and then have to cut below 2k didn't think you were supposed to? [Reply]
