***First Post - 14/11/23***
Wasnt going to do this but have had a few requests to log my cruise in between my cycles, full details for my bulk are at the below link
Bulk Log - https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/log-macs-bulk-2023.89802/
The plan is to maintain my weight, size and strength as best I can throughout the next 8 weeks but without pushing myself too hard and having a more relaxed approach to diet and training. Physically and mentally I need a little down time and the upcoming holiday season seems the best time to conicide with this approach, so many events makes keeping a strict lifestyle so much harder and takes all the fun out of everything.
Weight Goal: Maintain Between 95-97kg
Body Fat Goal: Visually Keep Abs
Week 1 of 8: Still feeling really strong in the gym, dropped a few kg from my peak weight which was expected, cutting the diet down about 700 calories a day sucks, so hungry all the time plus going back to my morning fast will take a week or two getting used to.

Aromasin: 12.5mg M/T

Relaxed Saturday & Sunday
