deficit: Good there and that's being completely honest with myself
muscle growth stimulus: My Tuesday and Thursday sessions are only 30 minutes but a lot of work gets done. Saturday and Sunday are longer but not overall as intense but it's usually 50 mins to an hour. I follow a routine and increase weight each weekend workout so that should be good.
protein:
I'm just mind fucced with the entire process right now. When you go from dropping pounds left and right and that becomes he way you (me) identify improvement, breaking away from that to something non-tangible like "appearance" doesn't quiet equate. I won't really know anything concrete until Thanksgiving in my estimation.

well even in my guide
i say the only things that will be true to you are "The mirror and tape measure"
monthly or bi weekly progress pics and various body measurements are alot more accurate
IE i weighed 153 in this pic
yet i also weigh 153 in this pic
the change in weight between those photos is nil(lost down to 149, then gained back up to 153)
its a strange thing, but like i said the mirror doesnt lie. And the goal of this strategy is not weight loss but fat loss. Trust your gym progression is the best piece of advice i can give you. You have to meet those goals and not be worried about reaching such and such numbers scale wisewell even in my guide

Indeed, the last time I stopped paying attention to the scale I gained some stupid amount of weight and got paranoid. After this week (Sunday check-in) as long as something wacky doesn't happen I'm packing my scale up.

I'm just now reading his guide but I've completely ignored the scale my last two months of working out. Just been measuring looking in the mirror at results. I've completely cut out liquor and cleaned up my diet some (still room to go on that). I have no tangible weight goal. Overall goal is simply to change lifestyle so I don't plan to even look at a scale for a while.
im definitely liking how im looking in the mirror and fitting in my clothes if that makes up for any of the talk about the still being 150lbs, i think i was just used to losing weight and once i saw i stalled i got 
but i def like my physique better. but i must 
on.

Officially down to my goal weight of 230. Think I might let myself get back up to 235-237, I liked the feel of that weight on my frame. So as of today I've made the journey from 6'6 265 to 6'6 230 in a little under 4 months. My weight 3 years ago when I was in the best shape of my life was 218, but that seems too light to me now.
Doing heavy weights at 5-7 reps for two straight sessions followed by light weights for 15-20 reps every third session. shyt got me cut the fukk up. Doing 4-7 miles of low cardio every other day.
Diet consists of smoothies with fruit, veggies, and yogurt in them and a scoop of protein supplement when I feel I need it, fish, chicken, an occasional steak, cous cous, avocado and almonds here and there, lots of fiber, 120 ounces of water a day, feeling great and - as usual - the don's hair is
Keep on pushing my dudes.

150 is down from what?
175
chest, mid section, hip, shoulder
went back to the basics today, doing stronglifts again, felt good.
only question is with me cutting i know eventually im not be able to keep putting on 5 lbs a week. im not new to lifting so my bench/rows/dl is relatively high, atleast when comparing to starting with just the bar or close to it, so will i eventually peak a lot faster than the guy who is new to lifting?

that depends on:
sleep
nutrition
ethic in the gym(form, intensity, etc)
starting light is necessary for new lifters, but for experienced you should set it lower, the idea is the lower you set, and the smaller the incremental progression the farther you should go before you peak
but it has diminishing returns
