220lbs @ 10% BF by May 2023

Sounds like a solid plan. I don’t think it matters too much what you do, so long as you do it consistently.

What you are doing is really close to optimal (only because perfect doesnt exist).

Compounds >>>>>>>> any thing else
Frequency > Volume (with in reason, maxing out singles 6 times a week probably wont build as much muscle as doing those same lifts 3 times a week with a significant amount of volume)

In short, train as much volume on the compound lifts as you can as frequently as you can. I am more than a little jealous of the program you are able to run. Hopefully I can build up to that in the coming months/years.

Loool the syringe got me laughing! It’s nice to have some self-depreciation humour!

Most people using gear have no business doing it. You’re clearly not one of these people. You’re dedication and work ethics is amazing, gear or no gear, and it pays clearly, seeing your incredible strength as well as weight loss and physical transformation!

I’m probably in the minority here but I think a good PPl à la Renaissance Periodization or Mountaindog is the best way to go for aesthetics. Yeah 5/3/1 is good for gaining muscle, but not as good and the development won’t be as complete than a pure bodybuilding routine.

This is obviously my own personal anecdote, but among the many, many different kinds of programs I did, the best aesthetic gains I got were either from Mountaindog PPL or Bro split with CT (this one I don’t recommend in a cut though, but with gear, a bro split might be less suboptimal than natty).

There’s a reason bodybuilders do this.
