    Long story short I used to be 6’0, 190lbs.
    Due to financial problems and a few other things in my life I now weigh 150lbs

    Yes I went from 190lbs to 150lbs in less than 6 months.
    I wasn’t training, eating or sleeping. I would have been lucky to eat 500 calories in a day or sleep for more than a few hours.

    I am currently a walking skeleton and if I’m honest I look like I have never touched a weight in my life.

    It is not as depressing as it sounds, I am actually extremely motivated to regain my physique instead of mourning over the one I lost.

    What is my best course of action here. Should I cycle back to being a muscular god or should I train naturally to a certain point?

    On a side note it is weird how such a rapid change can affect you. I still walk around like I’m a god among men even though my Grandmother has 10lbs on me and could probably squat more too.
    It’s like part of my personality was lost along with the muscle.

    The progress has been unreal though, its without a doubt that muscle memory exists. I’ve been doing 5×5 St07ing on the big 3 lifts and have been adding 15-20lbs to the bar every week.

    Right on! Where you at now Brodie?

    I was in a similar position. I was an absolute mess. I cycled even though everyone said not to. Only time will tell if that was a mistake. After that I used GHRP-6. It was the best decision ever. If you’ve been eating bugger all and sleeping bad the hardest thing is pushing yourself to eat a lot again and get good sleep. GHRP-6 will make you want to eat more, help with your sleep and give you a shot of good health..

    I weighed in at 182lbs yesterday, so a 32lb gain since I made this thread which is amazing. Been eating like mad, a minimum of 4000kcals per day from oats, whole milk and dark_sidecken lol. Still been doing 5×5 although the strength and mass gains are starting to slow. Currently thinking of changing to Layne Nortons PHAT routine as a way to get the gains coming again.

    UPDATE: I hit the 200lbs mark on the scale in the gym today, it feels good to be not only back to the physique I had but actually 10lbs heavier. Got another 5 weeks of bulking to go and then a solid cut before my holiday in the summer

    I’ve been bulking on between 3500 and 4500 calories per day so I can’t wait to cut and stop eating all this food.

    Muscle memory is real… But you know that now . Its inspiring to read about others who have experienced what you have. I’ve been there too. Good job on doing something about it instead of just talking about it. May the gains keep coming !
