    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.

    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.

    Cheers lads, looking to bulk back up to 190 then cut down for the summer. Got a feeling the next 20lbs isn’t going to come as quick.

    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.

    Thought I would update this and say I decided NOT to cycle.

    I managed to go from 150lbs when I made this thread and I just weighed in at 170 a couple of days ago. It’s all coming back quickly and I seem to have stayed the same bodyfat percentage. At this rate I should be back to 190lbs just in time to cut for summer

    That’s what I’m hoping for mate. I start back again tomorrow, I’ve got a 3800cal diet and program sorted.

    My goal is to be a minimum of 175lbs by Christmas. So a 20lb gain roughly, sounds impossible and I’d be inclined to agree but I am literally skin and bones atm so we’ll see what happens.

    6’0 I’m actually between 6’0 and 6’1 have been for ages. My bodyfat was about 15-17% I couldn’t see any abs or major definition.

    I’m trying not to gain as much fat and get up to a much cleaner 190lbs. I’m the most stereotypical ectomorph though so I need around 4k to break 180lbs.

    I was out of the gym for seven years with a back injury and lost a ton of muscle. Plus, my body fat was up to 36%. I was finally able to get back to the gym at the beginning of last year and the muscle came back much faster than I expected. I attribute it to muscle memory…but I have no idea if I am right, or if "muscle memory" is even a real thing.

    Hang in there. It will come back.

    I hope to god muscle memory exists. It took me 6 years to go from 134lbs to 190lbs all natural when I first started training. It may not sound like a good attitude for a bb’er but I really cannot be bothered to do it all again.

    It’s amazing putting on T-shirts and finding them hanging off your body. I think "how the **** was this tight on me!? I must have been huge." I have to wear belts on all my trousers just to stop them falling down.
