Quick food related update, but I have decided to suspend all weekly cheat meals indefinitely for the time being. I am really starting to hit my stride on my current cycle and I don’t want anything to fuck it up.
So all tightly controlled caloric intake and macro splits for little ole me until further notice, or until I go insane.

and know you will go insane after a while of no cheat meals, i just have started eating more slowly, i been in deficit for over a year with great results 25% bf down to 12% without use of glp , only test c and good hgh, cardio and lots of willpower lol, i am really looking forward to this winters bulk,,, i love to eat, but increasing food intake is actually a chore as i get full so fast , im sure my stomach has shrunk, obviously,,,,
It definitely has shrunk. When i was in my last stage of deficit i was struggling to finish my weekly cheat and after that it was like having a brick in my stomach and that day with my cheat meal included i was eating like 3600 - 4000 kcal total which is not that much. Now that i'm in off season with the same weekly cheat i'm eating 5500-6000 kcal that day and honestly a couple hours later i feel i can eat again lol. And i'm not significantly heavier, i only got 5-6 pounds up since then.

Give or take
That's where i am too, 4500kcal. 680C 70F 280P. What's your macros? Thankfully i don't have any issue with appetite. My digestion sucks though and i'm on PPI for a decade.. But i'm having 180C, 10F, 50P like an hour before training + an intra shake. I think i could go up to 900-1000 carbs easily with some fruits, dates, raisins and other dense carb sources. First year now i'm avoiding cereal completely, besides the oats.

I am split 30/30/40 with the exception of my carb heavy days (my least enjoyable days).
To be perfectly frank, I fucking hate bulking. Hate it. I hate living my life like this, but a little man's gotta do what a little man's gotta do.

7 pound pork butt. Put it on the smoker last night and took it out this AM. Nothing fancy on the seasoning. Simple whiskey marinade then dusted with black peppercorn and lawry's all purpose seasoning.

On the flip side cutting is a thing of mental fortitude, hard on the mind at times as is eating in a surplus as like you said "what a little man" has to do , lol no easy way , just hard work all around

You my friend, cutting for over a year straight, get the balls of steel award for MESO IMO. That is some hardcore shit. I would think I would be on the verge of pure lunacy if I was in a deficit for that long.

Abs are my biggest issue also. They just don't seem to respond like the rest of my bod does, and I beat them shit out of them on the regular.
I guess I just have poor genetics, but I dare say I am never going to have those ripped, defined abs that 'pop' like everyone wants, no matter how hard I train.
You could ponder surgery if it's a skin issue, but I am sure that would be a very expensive option.

You guys ever fuck around with diuretics? If you have low BF and it's just water under the skin, could give you a few days of 6-pack ab veins. Not a long-term strategy. Be careful they can be pretty harmful acutely.
Some coaches manipulate sodium and easily digestible carbs to drive subq water into muscles to give a more ripped appearance. Short-term, like 1-2 days before the show. Matt Jansen and Chris Aceto have mentioned this. Curious what would be Stefan Kienzl's approach.

Are you talking about loop diuretics?

Yeah like Lasix but 10 mg for a few days.
haha yes for beach day or to take some pics
Just be careful guys don't get carried away. It's not a long-term strategy. You might just have to live with a watery 4-pack.
