I'm in. I'll start from April 1st though. I was smashing my workouts, stopped counting calories, and had a total food binge. Creatine bloat added a fair bit as well - I seem to really pack on weight when I am properly dosing creatine. I am going on a beach holiday at the end of the Month, and also representing my company at a show the weekend before, so I cut some weight over the next 4 weeks at a minimum. Sub 100kg at that point would be great.

Going out for a Friends surprise Birthday party tomorrow so ironically it will be my first drop of Beer this year and my last for a while too.
Fully expect to be the same weight on the scales next friday.
Having a week at maintenance towards the end of May to break it up a bit.
Goal is under 88kg but again not too concerned about what the scales say so main aim is to keep my strength where it is and rip off some bodyfat
All the best everyone ❤️

Weekly average has sky rocketed this week as expected and thats how Beer can inflate the numbers on the scale ⚖️
Luckily for me now its a free run with no planned Birthdays/Christmas/Births/Deaths etc
Apart from my own Birthday on June 19th but that feast will be offset by me climbing a mountain for it.
Really looking forward to getting leaner again and seeing what progress I made in that bulk 👍👌

Looks like I'm hitting maintenance
Performances are still good in the gym
I'll drop calories another 250 and up steps to 12k a day average then see how we get on next week 👍

Is there room for one more? I dirty bulked for a while and just have to pay the prize for it. Made some good strength gains but inevitably gained mostly fat. Waist is 32 inches, love handles are 35 inches (measured at April 15th). Will cut 2-3 inches off both before considering focusing on mass gaining again. Ideally I hope to get to 180 lbs and then go on a long bulk but may choose to stop before I reach that point.
April 15th - 201.7 (starting weight)
April 22nd - 196.8 (weekly average)

At this point gains are so slow that I may cut an inch from my waist in a year if I am lucky.
And frankly I am not sure I would be able to push for serious gains at maintenance right now - I am dealing with shoulder issues and recurring bicep tendon issues and my main goal for now is to fix these issues while making modest improvements in strength until I can do a serious bulk again with enough volume to grow without adding mostly fat or having a major setback.The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

Yeah rear delts and rotator cuff is in focus in particular as I think the shoulder issues are down to a combination of bad external rotation and bad mobility. I cannot even externally rotate my sholders until I hit the wall when standing against a wall lol
Pressing is down to a minimum (and I've flipped my grip to a reverse grip) and I've swapped lateral raises for lu raises for the time being.
Turns out you can get shoulder issues even when the overall push/pull ratio is good. I think I am prone to internally rotating my shoulder both during a lot of exercises and during everyday activities so lots of potential for an imbalance to develop. I did do facepulls regularly before but never treated them very seriously.
And yeah I guess there's a lot of growth potential for calves when I usually do 1 set weekly for them lolThe first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.
