Hey guys,
I'm back on the boards and ready to get cut up again for summer! I bulked really hard this fall and winter and put on 27 lbs, but a lot of it was fat. I started cleaning up my diet about 3 weeks ago and started doing some cardio again. I just started my Helladrol cycle about 3 days ago and am running it for about 5 weeks. I've actually been slacking on cutting for a while and am a little behind schedule. I just want to cut really hard before I go home for summer in May (off at college now).
Current stats: 6'3", 197 lbs, about 14-15% bf
Bench: 235
Squat: 300
Deadlift: 345
Standing Overhead Press: 125

I would like to point out that this is the fattest I've ever been in my life and I can't stand it. haha. This was actually about a month ago at 202 lbs, so I've probably leaned out a little bit since then. I'll try to take some progress pics tomorrow.
goals: below 8% bf
Bench: 245
Squat: 315
Deadlift: 360
Standing Overhead Press: 135
I doubt I'll be able to hit that low of a bodyfat % within the next 5-6 weeks, but I'm going to get as lean as I can by then. Afterward, I'm probably going to run PCT then take a few more weeks off before running some osta for a little strength boost while I try to lean out even more. I'll really just have to reevaluate things after I finish my Hella cycle.
Diet:
Not counting calories yet, just eating clean and using cardio to burn some fat.
Training:
I've been doing the 5/3/1 BBB routine for like 7 months and have really enjoyed it. I've made fantastic gains on my deadlift and have hit failure on squat and overhead press. I dialed it back to 90% of my max for those lifts and have started working my way back up.
Mainly just adding in 30 minute LISS cardio sessions about 2-3 times per week. Might play basketball occasionally, but haven't done much sprinting or HIIT work.
