    Don't feel even a little bad upping those cals... and I don't mean that in a hippy, "love your body" kind of way either.

    Getting to stage condition is an elite-level task, if you think about it; few other people will ever push their bodies so close to the limits of leanness while still fighting to retain muscle and show up looking good on show day. So once you've done it, like has been said in here, everything else feels sub-par.

    Reality is: You've bounced back from this show really nicely. Most competitors would kill to do the job you've done keeping your bodyweight in control post-show. And it's starting to pay off... keep increasing those cals at the appropriate rate you have been, use it to build some quality size and strength, and enjoy feeling more and more "normal" again.

    I love following this thread... you continuously stay on the straight and narrow, and you're reaping the rewards.

    Happy to have you guys around. Every bit of reassurance helps. 2450 and no cardio is feeling great. Hoping to continue with the dietary compliance! Actually going a bit slower than I would have originally thought. Metabolism is doing better than anticipated as well.

    Upon weighing 155.8 this morning, weekly BW is still sitting at like 155.2 (less than the last two weeks despite the increase in calories this week). Not to be such an eager beaver, but if I don't see at least an average of 156, I am increasing to 2550 cals/day. Originally planned on averaging out to being like at least 160 on average by the four weeks post-show mark before tapering down the surplus to about 0.5-1 pound gain/month, but we're going WAY slower than anticipated.

    ^This. With your structure and discipline, you'll be a great BBer. That's awesome about your reverse though man! You were at 1500 at your lowest and now close to 1000 more cals and hardly any gain? Impressive to say the absolute least. Idk if you follow Corbin Pierson on IG or not, but he's in a similar boat. He's at 3500 or so with very little gain from the stage. The human body is a crazy thing and that's why I love this sport so much; there's so much variation from person to person and there's no true one size fits all approach. Figuring your body out and what makes it click is a lot of fun IMO.

    You kind of just put things into perspective for me...lol. Metabolism is rebounding better than anticipated. And I do actually follow Corbin. He's actually inspiring me to try pushing the calories just a tad more. We'll see how it responds to a bit more food. Will not allow myself to get sloppy by any means. and my general rule is that no more than an increase of 25 g of carbs/100 cals per week.

    Just the food focus is so bad still. Like my hunger is still hardly ever satisfied. Still a bit irritable as well. Slow weight gain is good, but I'm still at a place where my body isn't too happy with its composition. I'd like to be 160, on average, by the end of July. 165 by the end of the year or so. May maintain around there but it's so hard to know where I'll end up at this point. But thanks, dude. May be thinking that I'm naive, but I want that pro card.

    Sorry to hear that, man. You're doing an exceptional job though of staying the course and having faith in the process; no question it'll pay off in a huge way.

    Keep upping cals at this rate and you'll be at some decent numbers for when you start actually bulking again. Stay pumped for this, it's gonna be fun... lots of good foods, improved hormones/mood, strength/size, etc.

    Still staying pumped. Motivation is still off the charts. I will continue to stay structured, of course. Refusing to allow impatience screw up a successful reverse. I don't bodybuild for external reasons, but I've been getting a whole lot of positive reinforcement from those around me which is more beneficial than one would think. Every time I go into public, I feel like I see someone who I haven't seen in a long time and I receive some sort of compliment about the contest. Word tended to spread quickly about me competing in a small town. Not letting it get to my head but it does feel good!

    HS Oblique Crunches:
    45 + 25 x 14, 13

    Crushed it. Weighed 0.8 lbs. less than I did on stage for whatever reason. Guessing because of variations in sodium intake but I cannot say for sure

    Going to be cool to see how weight changes in response to the increase. AGAIN. My adherence to the caloric prescription is pretty close to 100%, so the data that I collect in the coming weeks is going to be valuable in figuring out how my body responds to changes in food intake.
