Good to hear and congrats! Hope I can do the same

Hopefully those photos give a better overview of where I'm at. I'm cutting down my carbs from 450g a day to 300g a day starting yesterday :)

Pic of my back, not great pic but you see it is fairly wide (at least compared to a year ago!)

Side angle, not slumping like the original photo

Here's some photos that better show that I have definitely gained muscle. Bear in mind I am 6"4

I don't mind being called fat, I know I have gotten fat. The part that annoyed me was when someone essentially said that I have achieved nothing for a year. Understandable?

Also I realise that I...

You 'don't gaf' what my lifts are. You're an idiot if you think you can go from a 40kg squat to 140kg while gaining 'a minimal amount of muscle', or any other of my lifts.

My goal when starting...

There is no need for a reality check... I know I got fat. My friends/family tell me it often, and I am not an idiot.

And telling me that I have achieved nothing in a year is just plain rude and...

I have definitely gained a lot of muscle too. From looking in the mirror, from other people telling me, and from the fact that it is not just fat that moves 400lb off the floor...

The photo I...

Dude... look at the comments I got. Someone told me that I have achieved nothing in the year.

Weirdly my bench press has still been going up even though I haven't eaten well over the last week or two, but I will have to see how it goes after an extended cut.

Thanks for the civil reply.

Yes I was basically wondering the rate at which I should cut.

I am 6"4.

If I cut 1lb a week, will I lose all of my strength gains though?

Not sure about the...

Just so I know I'm not losing it here...

315 squat x5
400 deadlift x5
210 bench x5

Is not bad for about 10 months right?

(I'd actually wager these numbers are probably better than most...

Excuse me pal, have you looked in the mirror?

The reality is that I am smashing my strength goals.

Weak everything? My numbers are in KG, and if you don't think those numbers are at least above average for under a year then there is something wrong with you.

Yep I got a bit fat.

I didn't screw up anything... My number one priority was strength and I have gained a lot of that.

400lb deadlift x5, just under 225 bench and 315 squat in under a year.

Now I'm asking about...

I've been bulking for just under a year, gone from 187lbs to 240lbs...

As you can see, my belly is pretty big, and I think I have an anterior pelvic tilt which adds to this.

The thing is, it...

Not true at all. If you overload your muscles too much to the point where you need longer than usual recovery, you will get less growth than progressive overload with shorter recovery cycles.

I can only lift the weight explosively, if it slows down I burn out very quickly and often fail if I let that happen.

Quite a few people spotting me on bench have said 'That looked easy, you can...

Yeah I know that, my question was regarding whether my body type would be suited to squatting high bar, or should I just stick with it lower.

It just seems that because my legs are so long, in...
