Looking forward to the pics. I can’t believe you have such a low rating - clearly have a good amount of muscle on you.
I think people see the fat…and the ass pics and just run screaming. I’m not worried. I’ll get to 8% bf and I’ll post the results here. I’m not worried about rating. I’m hoping people can get some ideas from my log on here, and what I’m talking about in this thread. Pardon the delay in pics. Had to take care of some stuff last few days, and I’ve been doing 2 a days.

Would you say you have any regrets about the “infamous” manner in which you chose to bulk? In retrospect would you do things differently?[/quote]
LOL Infamous. I love it!
Regrets from Previous Bulk: NO MORE WHOLE MILK lol. What I’ll do differently next time:
Next time I bulk I’m keeping the fats down. I peaked at around 250g of fat per day on this bulk. This next time I’ll keep it to around 125g of fat, maybe 150 if I feel like eating an avocado. Even if a lot of the fats I had came from Coconut Oil, EVOO, Walnuts, etc., at some point you take in so much fat that the sources really don’t matter. When you couple those “healthy” fat sources with the milk it just lead to a ton of adipose tissue gain.
To make up for the less fats, I’ll be adding carbs in more. But whereas previously I just had them all the time with every meal, and also from the shit ton of milk, this time I’m going to be tactical with them. I’m going to have some carbs in the morning in my shake, most of which will be from blueberries, with most of the remainder from the 12 oz. of milk I use. From then until pre-workout I’ll have only trace carbs, probably none, or however much is in an oz. of walnuts. Pre workout will be a quick converting carbohydrate. I like apples & bananas, so probably will come from that. Post workout I’ll get the bulk of my carbs, probably in the form of brown rice, with occasional post-workout pasta.
Overall I’m just going to be more precise with my nutrition. This past time I took a shotgun approach, and clearly hit my target. This next time it’s going to be more like a sniper with an m95. The way I did it this past time was carbs most meals, a half gallon of milk in the hours leading up to bed, and a half pound of peanut butter with my 3/4 lbs. of steak for dinner. Will NOT be doing that again.
I also rapidly added calories during the previous bulk. I went from my base of about 2800 calories per day to 5000 in the space of two weeks. This next time I’ll add them a bit slower, and I won’t go to 5000 again. I’m at about 2200 right now on this cut, which is probably right around where I’ll be for maintenance. I’ll probably go up to 2700 the first week, see how that goes for a while then go to 3200 or so. I can’t imagine going higher than maybe 3500-3700 next time.
Good progress mate!
I’ve been interested in this thread from the beginning. You’re making great progress, but jesus christ I can’t take those ass pics man.
In any event, keep up the good work
I have also been watching this thread from the beginning. Your attention to details of the bulk and current cutting process is fascinating. Looking forward to you pics!

Yeah, AQ pretty much has everything planned down to the crossing of his tees.
The progress pics are truly astounding, awesome work AQ.
Thanks all…I shall now repay you with…>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSBOMB
I don’t have any idea what this pose is. I was trying to show back thickness, pec thickness, and the re-emergence of abs. Also my eyes indicate that when I herp, I derp.
Basically the same shot. I think you can see the lat thickness a little better here though. I don’t have a palsy or anything, the camera just caught me flexing my lats unevenly.
ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSBOMB!!! It doesn’t look a WHOLE lot different from the last ass pic I posted, but it actually is smaller, I measured. I think there’s less cellulite too. My hips will probably always be that wide with how hard I hit them at the gym, so if anyone’s waiting for them to dissolve, it ain’t happening.
AH, almost forgot…I’m about 208 in these pics. I will say that recently the Bruins playoff run slowed down the cut, on account of how much beer I ended up having by the Garden. Not too worried, I’m cutting out all alcohol until I’m 201 lbs. This past week I also began training twice per day, since I don’t have to go to work til 11.
Here’s my macros:
Regular Weight Training Days:
Cals: 2323
Fat: 67
Sat. Fat: 15
Carbs: 144
Fiber: 33
Net Carbs: 111
Protein: 290
Conditioning Days:
Cals: 2324
Fat: 92
Sat. Fat: 23
Carb: 36
Fiber: 15
Net Carbs: 21
Protein: 329
Typically my conditioning days are Wednesday (Sprint Day) and Sunday (Regular conditioning stuff), but since I’m trying to wrap this cut up I’ve been using the conditioning days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday. We’ll see how that works the next couple weeks. I’m also pulling walnuts out of my diet, which I eat an oz. of each day, on account of the fat content. Don’t get me wrong, they’re a great food, but for cutting they’re my last main source of fat right now. I’ll add them back in immediately after the cut is done, along with things like avocados, evoo, and coconut oil. My protein will also end up around 250g per day when I switch to maintenance mode.
Probably my favorite thread ever. BTW great ass. Oh and great progess.

LMAO fabulous.
So is the plan to still go to 200-205? Are you holding as much muscle as you thought you were? You said that you wanted to get to 7/9% ; do you think you will achieve this at 200lbs?
Great progress. I was very impressed by your strength gains.
