sound advise. Appreciate itYou can't keep growing forever! I think bulking "in the traditional sense" is the stupidest fucking thing EVER anyways so let me get that out of the way first.
When trying to gain size, going by the scale alone is a disaster waiting to happen, you must visually analyze what is going on with your body composition, it is also wise to track your fasted morning BG levels. When BG levels start getting high it's time to back off and reset! You can either go low carb higher fat for a while or simply do a bit of fasting. I like fasting better as not only does it increase insulin sensitivity but also gives your digestive system a much needed break, so when you go back to your higher calorie/carbohydrate diet you are partitioning a lot more toward muscle and less to adipose tissue.
Just my 2 cents. Once again choose the red pill or the blue (Morpheus)

In the same boat, man. Love love love GH. My muscles respond so well to it. Unfortunately, heart issues prevent me from using it now.I liked the provider black tops better than serostim. Serostim didn’t give me the full 3D look of the provider black tops. The black tops were my favorite. I haven’t used HGH in a long time though. It makes my blood pressure go up, and my bp is extremely high right now. I’m on several meds but it’s still terrible. I need to drop weight but I love being big and strong.
periodic caloric restriction puts the body back into an anabolic-state. You can't perma-bulk, you just end up being a fat fuck. In my experience transitioning the focus between getting leaner and adding muscle is where the best changes occur. There may be a sweet-spot for younger guys working in the middle. But I always grew bigger after every prep.
Absolutely! I'm glad more people are realizing that 'bulk and cut' is such a silly concept. Guys rationalize eating until their blood pressure goes through the roof and they look like a water buffalo, then spend six months in a teeny, tiny deficit and say bye bye to any gains in the interim. Fuck that. Eat at a reasonable surplus while still staying on top of things, train your ass off and grow. Notice a little fat? Keep your protein intake up, take a couple weeks and drop into a mini cut. Cut back on volume a little. Doing this for a week or two (or four) should put you right where you want to be unless you're just a fat pig. Increase calories again and get right back to growing. With the improved insulin sensitivity, you're going to fuckin rock it in the gym. And guess what? You get to look good year round instead of having to to reach for those fat pants you keep in the back of the closet.

Agreed.
Question, when you come off a mini cut, how do you go about increasing calories from there? Do you slowly build them up again or do you go right back to where you were before the mini cut?
There is nothing to cheat yourself - on a certain dose of androgens you will reach a certain level of muscle mass that you will not skip or change in training or diet and you will simply have to increase the dose aas to further progression and become larger. Just like with calories, let's say you have 220 pounds for 5000 kcal so you probably have to reach 240 pounds to eat 5500 or 6000 kcal - no miracles are a simple rule
