Building a Monster Upper Back

A huge and thick upper back is the hallmark of the alpha strength athlete. Only those with the fortitude and will to train with the requisite intensity will achieve the kind of upper back that literally intimidates and inspires awe in all who see it.

If you truly want the biggest and strongest back possible, it is necessary to combine the best of both the powerlifting and bodybuilding worlds!

Cutting Diet - What do you think?

First off, I wanted to say Hi to everyone here, as this is my first post to the forum!

So, here is the deal. Back in June of 2008, I was 19, 5'5" and 178 lbs at about 24%bf. I caught a horrible flu of some sort which lead to me dropping about 3 pounds. That flu triggered a 4 month motivational diet, in which I lost nearly 30 pounds (most fat, some muscle). I began to hit the gym harder than I ever had the previous 3 years and am still gaining some positive results. However, my weight has gone up a bit. Some of it is muscle, but some is not, as my face has gotten a little fuller :/. It is now November of 2009. I am 19, 5'5" and 158 lbs and at 15-16%bf. I am determined to make it to 8-10%bf by January so I can start building more muscle for summer, with gaining the smallest amount fat while doing so (I believe it is called clean bulking?). I really want to maintain the muscle I have made the past 6-7 months. My cutting diet follows a 40/40/20 scheme and as for lifting, I am following the P/RR/S program. and I would really appreciate as much input as possible!

I'd say that diet looks spot on as long as you're still losing weight.
