Question about nutrition
Im always trying to read/learn more about nutrition as this (least for me) plays the biggest part in this lifestyle.
How have you figured out your nutrition needs (carbs/Protein/Fats) percentage? Has it been a trial and error, hired someone, read a book? I would think there are some basic "standards" but even these will not apply to all the same. How much of each are your currently intaking?

Bulking:
2g protein per pound of lean mass per day
200g EFA's/day
Carbs as needed to grow (ave. 2lbs/week gain)
Cutting:
1.5g protein per pound of lean mass/day
150g EFA's/day
Carb cycle as needed to lose fat. (=/< 2lbs. week)
Carb amounts are determined by the individual through trial and error.

Good information. I log all my meals based on my trials and errors as well. But there are "gurus" who claim they can design your perfect nutrition plan. I have to give that a big "Hmmmm"....

Bulking: 1.75g protein per lbs (if you're lean)
0.5g fat
1-2+g carbs.
Cutting:
1.75g protein
0.25 fat
1g carbs
Ish. Try it all out and see how you respond. 15 calories per lbs of lean mass for maintenance, 10-14 for cutting and 15-20 for bulking. Ish.

I think Ricks high fat totals are a derivative of Keto:
Bulking for 180# lean mass guy -
180 x 2 = 360g pro x 4 calories = 1,440 calories
200g fat x 9 = 1,800 calories
150g carbs (estimate) x 4 calories = 600 calories
3,840 calories for growth.
