Since you guys bumped it, here is the end result of my 4 month reverse dieting/ bulking.
My starting reverse diet weight was around 172-173, currently I'm around 178. It's hard to tell in the photos but I'm about 2-3% fatter than I was, so maybe if I'm lucky 1lb of muscle gain. Been focused on bring up my chest since a lot of people said it looked a bit flat - which makes sense since I had a shoulder injury in 2013. According to measurements that has come back up a bit.
Macros started at around 225c / 260p / 30f and now are up to 350c / 230p / 55f+
This has been the most successful reverse diet I've ever done and I would attribute at least some of that success to not totally eliminating HIIT from my offseason programing (still doing 2 hard sessions a week).
Plan now is to do a mini-diet for 4 - 6 weeks, and then go through another 4 months calorie surplus phase.

Yeah people always over judge how heavy they should be. Like my buddy is shredded and he's 6'1 165lb. But looks way bigger than my fat ass and I'm 203 right now. So i need to lose like 40 lbs to look where I want.Originally Posted by VocelLoser

Thanks man. I make up my own programs. Right now I'm on a six day split using RTS style rpe for the big 3 and then added accessory work since I respond to high-volume.Originally Posted by Sweatyteddytaco
Thanks man, yeah once that started coming through the two months I realized how much it had been lacking before. Biggest thing I change was adding in chest fly and doing only incline barbell pressing (but still flat on dbs)Originally Posted by ChristianMR
