I was specifically talking about Steve's example. He said he hit 205, then he was like whooops, time to back pedal and diet because you can't hardly see the abs. So basically I was wondering if in that situation if it's acceptable if he could have stopped at 200 pounds then dieted for a shorter period of time before building again. I didn't know if doing this vs. longer term building and dieting if it would produce the same results.

Basically I'm asking all this because I really don't want to pack much fat on at all since I just busted my ass all winter losing it all. I think I'd rather have smaller size gains before I got too much fat back on but I don't know where exactly the magic number is, I don't know what the minimum amount of time or whatever could be and still actually have gains.
