Which NRoL program for me?

Lou,

I don't really fit into any of the different types of guys that you listed in your New Rules of Lifting. (This is a great read, by the way.) I'll give you a little info about myself and perhaps this will help.

I am in route sales which means I am quite active throughout my workday. I typically work 48-52 hours per week. My workday consists of loading and unloading product on the route truck as well as merchandising the product in my accounts.

I am a 37 year old male. I am 5' 10" and weigh 180 lbs. My body fat is 10%. I would like to gain some muscle and keep my body fat in the 8-10% range. I don't necessarily want to get super huge, but I would like to add about 10 lbs of muscle. I have good muscle definition now and would prefer not to lose what I have in that area.

I've lifted off and on for 10 years now, but I've consistently lifted for 18 months now. I only became consistently strict with my nutrition at the end of March. I did the Making the Cut program by Jillian Michaels and lost 19 pounds in 22 days and got ripped. I've maintained the definition, but I don't seem to have added much muscle mass since then. The last program I did was last month's Men's Health monthly program which is a total body giant set type of workout. I lift on MWF, and I do intervals similar to the one in New Rules on T,Th, and S.

I am currently in week one of the the Break-In Program.

Thanks,
