Missed this thread first time, and glad I did, love jumping into a thread where the OP asks for advice, gets advice, uses advice to absolutely smash it and comes back with results.
You look awesome, and looking forward to seeing future updates.

How tall are you? Love this post also. Iām 37, so 3 years behind you and your mentality that I aim to have when I hit 40. Right now I donāt mind the extra size (fat). My goal is to hit numbers I hit previously before a couple of bad injuries - but I am very much growing out of my ātrying to be bigā phase, and entering the āI just want to feel goodā phase. Mobility, being leaner, being more well-rounded, feeling happier with my top off etc.
My previous cuts have been ātake off as much as possible as quickly as possible so I can get back to gainingā. Itās interesting to hear your lifts actually went up during your much more grounded, healthy longer cut. I bet your mobility training helped towards improving numbers too. Itās crazy what little compensations we can make when NOT doing mobility that blunt force production.
Congrats on your journey. Looking great!

What does your training look like OP? What you are doing is def working so donāt listen to anyone trying to knock you down.
You look great, bro. Incredible transformation, I would say. You look good where ur at, and I recommend just keeping on that weight. Eating ur maintance calories to maintain where you are at should help. Goodluck man!
Thanks a lot, man. I just love all the positivity. Im 5"11 and I weighted before like 190-192 and im right now at a comfortable 165. Im just in awe on how I look and how I feel. I started off the first 2 months doing a chest- tri- shoulders, Tuesday Biās and back, Wednesday legs and repeat chest/tris on thurdays and repeat Tuesday on Friday. I felt like with the One meal a day diet I was doing that the workouts were causing me to lose steam by Friday so I switched it up to just Monday Chest and back, Tuesday just mobility so train hips, stretching, ton of core stuff and lower back, Wednesday legs, Thursdays I repeat Tuesdays and on Fridays I do all arm workouts. I really started liking the Mike Mentzer approach and I thought it would help me continue to keep going. Iāve done the previous approach before where I train hard 5 days and I would get a lot of pains and aches.
