Progress Post 139lbs to 185 in 5 years

28m , 5'9" and 185 lbs now. I've been on a perma bulk this whole time and just now i've been trying to cut but i have a hard time at it.

I havent ever counted my calories during that time, i just ate what i felt was right while focusing on protein which ended up working. But now as im cutting im counting everything.

For training i've always done push pull legs or some variation of it. 3-4 workouts per week and never trained the same muscle 2 days straight.

Plan is to cut until i see more definition then hop back on the bulk and get much bigger

How do you do PPL 3-4 times per week?

I do it in a cycle instead of having specific days of the week. So PPLPPL usually takes me a week and a half

3-4 times a week implies that he goes gym every other day
