Lou,

I don't really fit into any of the different types of guys that you listed in your New Rules of Lifting.  (This is a great read, by the way.)  I'll give you a little info about myself and perhaps this will help.

I am in route sales which means I am quite active throughout my workday.  I typically work 48-52 hours per week.  My workday consists of loading and unloading product on the route truck as well as merchandising the product in my accounts.

I am a 37 year old male.  I am 5' 10" and weigh 180 lbs.  My body fat is 10%.  I would like to gain some muscle and keep my body fat in the 8-10% range.  I don't necessarily want to get super huge, but I would like to add about 10 lbs of muscle.  I have good muscle definition  now and would prefer not to lose what I have in that area.

I've lifted off and on for 10 years now, but I've consistently lifted for 18 months now.  I only became consistently strict with my nutrition at the end of March.  I did the Making the Cut program by Jillian Michaels and lost 19 pounds in 22 days and got ripped.  I've maintained the definition, but I don't seem to have added much muscle mass since then.  The last program I did was last month's Men's Health monthly program which is a total body giant set type of workout.  I lift on MWF, and I do intervals similar to the one in New Rules on T,Th, and S.

I am currently in week one of the the Break-In Program.

Thanks,
