It’s gonna happen. He’s a foodie, his drugs are high enough and he’s got muscle/fat cell “memory” in his favor lol
Yes, I love food, in fact, there are few things in live I value more then a good meal.
As far as the muscle/fat memory, your also correct. I can get to about 215 and maintain some abs on muscle memory and then the fat piles on.
So to avoid this il probably do a mini cut (which I'm kinda starting today 15 days to drop about 7-8lbs. I got some tricks up my sleeve and my little mini cuts always go well and I think I finally figured them out in a way that works best for me.
So I would do the bench at 198, then probably keep eating at maintenance or slightly less and kick up cardio and get back to where I feel I look my best, not biggest but my most complete look is probably around 192-194. Then I would start the "bulking"
Rocking a full set of abs @195 I think I can put on 20lbs while staying lean.
I also started metformin a few days ago and I gotta say, it does some recomping. I'm the anti recomp guy but metformin makes it happen.
After the next 15 days if everything works out il lay out exactly what I did.
In the meantime I'm just gonna keep training as I was with a little bit more cardio
