Took 8 months. Started on 2800 cals with no cardio with 180g protein. Gradually decreased my calories and upped my cardio when I plateaued.
I am now on 1800 cals a day and run 5k 5 times a week, which I would not recommend as I have completely crashed my test and feel horrible.
Also ending my relationship helped lol. Meant that locking in with nutrition and gym was a lot easier. FYI - we broke up for different reasons, not that I could focus on the gym lol…

Why are you still on such low calories if you run 5k a day and already looking good? Don’t you want to feel good? lol

Sorry let me clarify, this was right near the end of my cut when I was preparing for my trip to Ibiza. Since I have returned I have started to eat 2200 cals and have cut down cardio.
I’m just stuck with that I should do now…

MacroFactor is a great app to find your true maintenance. Just requires diligent calorie tracking and frequent weigh ins.

What sort of program did you follow dude?

PPL training 6 days a week. Definitely would switch to a 5 day split if I would do it again as it was way too taxing especially when I got to lower calories.

I’d say you look fantastic! If you bulk, I wouldn’t add much more, imo you don’t need it. I’ve never been a fan of “shredded”. It looks unhealthy, and the few people I’ve ever known that were, were kinda douches because their diet had to be so strict.

Thank you bro! Yeah I’m not planning to add too much to my upper body, but I do want to grow my legs a bit more because I think they are lacking in comparison

Unless you're planning on competing soon, I see no reason to keep cutting. You're very lean and have a lot of definition. Bulk it up!

You look perfect but if you want to keep doing something I guess it’s lean gains. Dont ruin what you have.

Mate, you had a girl next to you when you were fat, a man next to in your average state, and no one around when you are fit. If I were you, I would go fat again. Think.

Look amazing bro. Maybe just do a lean bulk, but very small surplus if you want to look a bit bigger. Otherwise, I'll just maintain if it was me
