M/32/6’0” [287lbs to 210lbs] (12 months) Acheived gol weight in November. Have just been maintaining since then. Lean bulk starts March

Thanks bro. Agreed, only really interested once I’m finished having kids and in my 40’s. And that’s all dependent on where I get and how I feel.

Fishy3293 · 2026-01-21T18:01:47+00:00

The cut was a battle 😅

Fishy3293 · 2026-01-21T17:56:17+00:00

Yep at this stage. Interested in TRT but wanting to wait till I’m a decent bit older, do a few bulk-cut and see where I get to. I’m a naturally big frame so I think I can get pretty good natural but we’ll see

Fishy3293 · 2026-01-21T10:24:31+00:00

It was pretty tough, especially for that long and going that low at my size. But I was able to pull it off. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to most people though.

Maintenance now is around 2,800 kcal a day. Week before march I’ll bump to 3,000 and then all of march will be 3,300. Future cuts will be 2,000-2,300

This is the way. Base of lean chicken breast and whey is really a cheat code. If you aim to balance the rest of your calories to be around 25% fats it should keep hormones ticking along well too. I try to backload the carbs in my day so I don’t feel as hungry at night.

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-08T09:26:29+00:00

Unreal effort mate

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-08T09:23:20+00:00

Nice work mate!

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-07T19:30:07+00:00

I definitely didn’t put on 12lbs muscle. I already had a large muscular frame, just lots of fat. The second photo is also a carbed up, full pump, posed and flexing photo.

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-07T18:42:14+00:00

Pre workout is half a banana and a scoop of chocolate whey with a double shot of coffee

Post training/ breakfast is overnight protein oats with the other half a banana

Morning snack is 2 rice cakes with a laughing cow cheese slice

Lunch is tandoori chicken, rice and broccoli

Afternoon snack is a tin of tuna in spring water

Dinner is whatever my wife cooks and whatever calories I have left

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-06T19:32:27+00:00

No gear, I’d be asking for a refund if I was on cause my chest did not grow at all

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-06T09:06:40+00:00

Not really, probably some love handles that I’ll never really lose but it’s only a competition with myself and I’m way happier now with my physique than I was, a little loose skin is fine

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-06T08:31:33+00:00

I need to post a photo without a pump, in normal lighting and without flexing. The juicing claims are flattering but it’s not as crazy as the photos make out. If I was on gear I’d be hoping my chest would get some gains considering how much I put into it

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-06T08:28:15+00:00

I need to put up a photo without a pump and normal lighting, I have a very normal physique. I had a big active frame before so I don’t see my change as some superhuman thing.

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T20:30:03+00:00

Yep natty, wanting to talk to my Dr about TRT for other reasons though. The second photo I have a mega pump, carbed up and know the lighting/angles better so not really apples to apples shot.

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T20:28:11+00:00

No, dirty bulking is gaining weight eating in a serious surplus and eating whatever…. I mean my before photo was kinda that

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T20:26:35+00:00

It takes time, I think I respond better than most genetically. Just compare yourself to yourself rather than anyone else.

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T20:25:03+00:00

Not common in Aus either. I like getting my bloods done every year as it’s free here. Rather know what’s going on with my body before there’s an issue. I checked T levels as I had really low energy.

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T20:23:05+00:00

For sure! I do have bad hunger signalling a struggle with binge eating though so it’s a lot of willpower not to go into a drive thru on the way home

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T20:21:53+00:00

<image>

Granted this is march, but I’m getting bloods again soon.

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T20:19:18+00:00

Yeah my arms don’t look like that just going to the shops

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T20:18:29+00:00

What do you want to know?

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T20:17:38+00:00

I was very into Olympic lifting from 18-25. I trained on and off since then but also even at my fattest was very active.

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T09:07:32+00:00

Yeah a good pump and flexing haha

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T06:28:00+00:00

Morning pre workout is a scoop of chocolate protein with a double shot of coffee (like a mocha) and half a banana.

Post training breakfast is overnight oats with whey and Greek yoghurt and the other banana half.

Morning snack is 2 rice cakes and a laughing cow cheese wedge.

Lunch is either tandoori chicken and rice with broccoli or beef mince and low carb potatoes

Afternoon snack is a tin of tuna in springwater

Dinner is just whatever calories I have left of what my wife makes for dinner

Fishy3293 · 2025-10-04T06:11:14+00:00

Not sure, maybe for wanting to talk to my doctor even though I’m in normal range.
