Thanks, back and shoulders are strong point for me, upper chest still refuses to grow Though
Looking great yourself
I find giving shoulders priority over bench
Gives the best growth along with perseverance1 -

How much volume you pushing a week on your chest?
16-22 sets depending on exercise selection for the mesocycle Separated over 3sessions
With more focus on incline movements
Incline bb press is 315 for sets of 80 -

Well then lol. You would think that would be sufficient volume.1 -

This new workout program is very different. I am not used to doing so much accessory work it almost feels like I am doing nothing. But my glute medius is killing me. I know DOMS doesn't mean much but it's nice to feel certain muscles working (not quads taking over haha). I kind of miss my squats and regular deadlifts but it's good to try new things and switch it up now and again.
Also I still don't now if I am in a deficit because my weight is a disaster. I dropped about 3lbs after my lifting break. I am glad I took a week off otherwise my weight would have dropped from the new program and less volume and I would have freaked out. Hopefully it climbs back up to normal soon so I know if I am actually losing or not.

I’ve gained quite a lot. I built a full gym in my spare room and I’m actually sticking with the home gym. I’m fed up with teenagers in groups around the kit I need and all they do is gossip and play on Facebook.1

I'm kind of unsure of how to take that. Are you guys good at trampoliney-type-stuff?
Some people who skip/jump rope for the first time also complain of calf soreness...nothing to worry about, really, your body will get used to it (conditioning) if you keep doing it....like anything....I cycle so it takes a lot to get my calves to react...I don't do anything trampoline based.
My cut is still slow...have maintained 159 lbs for 4 months and looking to head downwards again now gyms are open in the UK.

It really depends on what your ultimate goals are. Do you feel like you want to get leaner? Is it worth the sacrifice? What would be your plans when you get to that point? Would you run a gaining cycle? Maintain?
I would say maintaining/recomp you can still build a bit but also lean out a bit too. So that's my vote. It's totally up to you though and your goals2 -
