Review
Higher mass, stable waist, and subjectively I think I look a bit leaner.  I did not control my intake as much as I should have.  I have been rather crashy all week, and therefore not controlling my intake as much as I should have.

Food
Going to try running the same plan this week as last, without the spine issues.

High:  200p + 250c + 50f (five @ 40/50/10)
Medium:  200p + 150c + 50f (three @ 40/50/10, two @ 40/0/10)
Low:  200p + 50c + 80f (one @ 40/50/0, four @ 40/0/20)

2 Med, 2 High, 3 Low

Weekly total:    1400p + 950c + 440f (.42/.28/.30)

Supplements
Creatine + 10g BCAAs peri-workout.  1 HotRox in morning

Routine
Shelby Lean
Cardio on non-lifting days

Routine plans
  1. Shelby Lean (4+ weeks) - get waist below 35", get back into shape for more intense lifting
  2. Roman Superhero (12 weeks) - get waist down and add some better aesthetics.  Diet will depend upon starting point, but I will shoot for dropping inches while maintaining mass or increasing a few pounds. 
  3. ABBH (6 weeks) - hypertrophy, including mass-gain diet.  Goal:  add 5-6#, with minimal waist gain.  36" is upper limit for waist.
  4. Thib's Superhero (6 weeks) - tighten up, including peri-maintenance diet.  Goal:  slightly smaller waist, possibly a bit of mass gain.
  5. FPFL (6 weeks) - tighten up, including below-maintenance diet.  Goal:  10-12# drop.  Hopefully will end this phase at over 210# with a sub-34" waist.  Maybe try Berardi's "Get Shredded Diet"
The above should bring me to around mid-June, barring any slip-ups or down time.  Then I can determine if I need to lean out more or not.

Trying to be a bit more precise/on-point this week.
Well, failed on being on-point with the diet.

Routine
FPFL did not work for me.  I was unable to complete most session.
Going to try Thib's Super Hero instead.
4 day cycle:  Lift > Lift > Cardio > Off
Well, sort of.

Mass Gain 
Start with ABBH
Why?  Because I remember really liking it.  It is also the routine that got me doing DB Bench with 115# dumbbells for the first time.  Easy, straight-forward, and fun.  Plus, being on a hypertrophy-phase, it fits well.  Roman's Final Phase Fat Loss, or possibly Super Hero Workout (http://finalphasefatloss.com/shw/), will come after ABBH.

The above should bring me to around mid-June, barring any slip-ups or down time.  Then I can determine if I need to lean out more or not.
