I completely agree that it is easier to bulk then cut, that's been my intention. It just happens that it works this way. My strength gains have slowed down a lot and I don't feel like I'm getting bigger just more dense. I didn't get my bf% before but I would assume with a smaller waist and more defined abs at 30+ lbs heavier meant I wan cutting fat but still gaining weight. Which would only make sense if it were muscle.
I am on a beginners routine just because I like it, I'm not adding weight according to SL. I've been back in the gym for a good 9 months, I did miss a month or 2 due to surgery but it only took me a few weeks to get back to where I was. I guess I didn't think that would put me back to the starting fresh category, or that 1 year would still be considered just starting but I guess it isn't all that long when you think about it. I would think if taking a few months off would do that it would be more popular, that or I'm a genetic oddity which is completely possible.
Either way I'm not going to complain about my results and your advice is typically spot on, I just disagree with that statement. Anecdotally speaking only, what happens in general or to other people I don't have experience with.
