    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.

    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?
