I have been lifting for over 3 years now. While I admit that I've been struggling with and fighting flab gain recently (due to getting older - 39 - and stress), I've also just gotten bigger even minus the flab due to bigger muscles. My ass has definitely gotten bigger, and I'm pretty sure that's not a flab issue (my stomach, otoh, yeah, that's a problem).

I am trying to find a brand that sells pants that will fit me better. I'm still a 34 waist (barely), but my rear and thighs are taking up a lot more space than it used to. Can anyone recommend a good brand? Banana Republic used to be my go to brand, but they don't make the cut I used to wear anymore and gone super skinny.

Why not just do the rapid fat loss diet for six weeks?

All my old high school clothes fit great now, like I'm actually saving money since I can wear all my old blue jeans.

All it will set you back is like 120 bucks worth of protein and supplements. Then you can buy all the nice clothes you want.

Dunno about brands but in terms of colours it helps to wear black.

Jeans for lifters are Levis 514 iirc

Who created that? Could you provide a link? I'm definitely willing to consider it at this point.

Lyle MacDonald invented it. Here's a pretty extensive write-up of it.

I would just get the ebook (it's only thirty pages or so) so you can get access to his online calculator (it makes programming the diet very easy. It's a pretty cool cutting diet. I plan on using the diet again in the fall sometime, it's awesome.
