    Currently bulking to 180 (unless I still see abs there, and I'll keep going), then cutting to <12%; rinse repeat until 200+ at ~10%. More of a long term than a 2017.

    By the end of the year:
    Deadlift: 495+
    Bench: 250+
    Squat: 375+

    Other than that, I am just planning on making myself stick with 5/3/1 for a full year at least, which ends on my birthday in December.

    I really want to gain at least 4 more lbs by April/May .. then start recomp (or maybe a really small cut). I have physique goals so hopefully by July/August I get closer to where I want to be.

    I want to increase in all my lifts (I don't care about numbers at this point, as long as they go up over time) and also improve my chin-ups and pull-ups #s.
    What about you OP?

    Cut to 160 lbs and then go into a recomp or slow bulk to gain muscle.
    Deadlift 405 lbs
    Bench body weight (could do this easily if I can maintain strength during the cut)
    Squat 2x body weight
    Compete in at least 1 power lifting meet (have one planned for April 1st)

    To be honest, I'm not entirely sure! - there's a lot of conflicting info out there. I've reset my macros to 50 carbs/30 protein/20 fat. Hopefully that'll help. Maybe I'll change that goal to "meet daily protein target" because im always under.

    I think you should go 1.5 - 2.2 gr protein x kg of bodyweight. 0.3 - 0.5 gr fat x lbs of bodyweight and the rest fill with carbs :smile:

    That's the plan. Will be the leanest I've been and the highest LBM I've had.

    11lbs to go by my calculations and aiming for 8 weeks.

    My goal is to learn to eat better so I make more muscle :)
    Mostly in the upper body... I'd like to kill 50 pushups without a blink by the end of the year!

    I have been sick for the past two months with stomach flu, followed by several harsh colds, because of this I lost seven pounds and have not been able to get back to my regular workouts. My goals are to get stronger and look stronger, focus more on weights rather than cardio.

    Hmm, good call on the last one. I think I'll add that to my list. It will be a good way to close out a year on 5/3/1 in December, and will give me a better idea of where I stand after nearly a year and a half of lifting again.
