Very impressive man! Were you able to increase lifts while cutting?

My deadlifts were still increasing , but my pushing movements like flat bench press and the over head press went slightly down.

You look amazing, but what did you look like before your bulk?

This was my end of my first cut in July 2012.

Nice progress. Any estimate of how much lean mass you gained as a result of the bulk?

I'm defiantly bigger. I would estimate maybe 5-8 pounds.

Dude, whatttt!!! I am 5'5" and that is so encouraging to see. That much muscle for being so small is amazing! I have a question then: I am starting a clean bulk in late August. Currently, I am 5'5" 132 lbs. with 14% body fat. Hopefully, I will be 130 and closer to 12% when I start.

In your opinion, what point should I bulk to? I wanna know how long and how much weight you would consider to be normal since you are so close to my size. BF% goal? Weight goal? Any insight would be appreciated--you are an inspiration for sure!

It' all depends on how much muscle mass you already have. My suggestion is to gain weight slowly no more that .5 pounds a week. I say don't rely on weight go by how you look in the mirror. If your gaining to much fat go on 1 month mini cuts.

I dieted for 5 1/2 months. I started at 2300cals with 40/40/20 ratio carb/protein/fats. Got all the way down to 1900. Threw in some low intensity cardio at first then when weight lost stalled I through in some hitt. For the first 4 months I had 1 cheat day a week. On the 5th month I cut out the cheat day and threw in a refeed day.

Can you share what you went through the final week out from your competition?
Did your dieting change?
Did you manipulate water intake/sodium intake?
Did you deplete --> carb load?
Did you do anything uniquely different compared to the previous weeks?
