Physique Update from November 22' - August 23'
This is a physique update from last (December 22' through Early March 23'). That being said, I had to try to overcome several obstacles, such as a wedding, (yes I got married in June) I marked the date as I'm sure it will be the death of me. Wedding and Honeymoon in Cabo, MX surely didn't aid in the cut phase of things. Still reached a new high on my bulk @ 6ft weighing in at 223lb. Ended the cut at my lowest recorded bf% ever as well at 8-9%. Felt like a reasonable season considering all variables. Currently, I'm tightening things up a bit, running TRT at 180mg/wk and HCG at 250iu 3x/wk. Will start a solid and dedicated growth phase by the start of the new year. Would have liked to start sooner, but work amongst other things have kept me sidetracked from really putting in the focus I want to in order to attempt a phenomenal off-season phase. Hoping to break at least over 230lb with eyes set on 235-240, hopefully leaner than last years bulk peaking at 223lb.

-5th photo is a few weeks into the cut
Last 3 photos are peak cut at 8-9% bf around 188lb @ 6ft
Any criticism welcomed. I played soccer throughout Junior High, High School and College. Won state title in High school my freshman year. Been working hardest on legs and calves. Have definitely made progress on both and will continue to do so. Squatting lower 400's for 6-8 reps depending on number of sets and goal of the day. Deadlifting PR of 485 per 2 reps clean. Benching 285 for 5-8 reps depending on CNS drive and day to day strength fluctuations. Most of the time driven by food intakes. Looking to Improve all lifts this year and grow substantially. Cheers to all and good luck on everyone else's journeys.
*Cycle listed below is likely not 100% accurate, but compounds used and dosages are for sure in the ballpark of what was ran. Would like to run HGH year round; maintenance dose off cycles and in between and raising doses accordingly when on. This is just the jist of what was ran. Feel free to comment or ask any questions.

Greatest job
Ahhh getting gains at planet fitness.. fond memories
Seriously rad. I know. I spend the majority of time at a free-weight gym, but also have a Y membership and the PF for the wife.
Nice gains bro!! What did you push your calories to in the offseason and what were you at for the majority of your cut?
Most I was pushing at the tail end of the bulk was around 3800-4200cals/ed. Slightly less on weekends when activity was lower, but would tweak if activity remained high on the weekends. A little carb cycling here and there. Really just playing around with it, as I'm fairly new to carb cycling. Started lowering cals slightly during the short off phase to slightly higher than maintenance, which for me at the time was around 2800-3000cals. Started actual cut at 2800cals (clean) w/ staple BB foods. Progressed down to around 2400cals by week 4-5 and decreased by 200cals from there on out w/ some intermittent carb cycling/cheat days occasionally on the weekends. Usually Saturday and would get back on track Sunday. The increase in carbs was much needed in order to stay strong and feel full. I believe I ended the cut at around 1950cals/ed but also ramped up cardio ever so slightly throughout the 12 week cut as well. Hope that helps. Feel free if anymore questions or advice for this years upcoming challenges and opportunities.
dang! thats awesome, thanks for sharing!
