After 2 years since knee surgery (meniscus), I started training again. Before that, I had trained for 12 years. My current situation is the following: I went from 120 kg (265 lbs) down to 100 kg (220 lbs) in 3 months, then took a 3-month break from training, and now I have started training properly again. My body weight is still around 99–100 kg (218–220 lbs), with the first row of abs already visible.
My goal is body recomposition — I definitely do not want to gain additional body weight. I am 30 years old, 185 cm tall (6’1"), and as mentioned, I weigh about 100 kg (220 lbs).
I would like advice for a first cycle. For context, I trained judo recreationally for 10 years, worked as a soldier for 4 years and as a police officer for 6 years. I am no longer in those professions, but during my training years I performed real functional training — a combination of powerlifting, strongman, and CrossFit-style workouts.
