180s looks good on you man! And not even in a gay way 👍🏿💪 

You're looking fantastic! 

@Supergainz, thanks! I'm trying to catch up to you! You have much more strength than me. Seems like my size is coming back faster than my strength. BTW, I saw some of your vids on Tiktok. I'm new to that place but I hit follow and it looks like it accepts it and then doesn't next time I open app. I should upload my ugly 225 squat yesterday. Omg, it was bad. Lower back gave on way up and I had to take a step forward. Lol 

Thanks, Shirfleur! I'm trying to get back on track after last month's derailment.  

😂 you don’t have a jailbreak phone do you? I can’t like or follow anyone while I’m jailbreak. But yea upload your vids I wouldn’t mind checking out fs lifters. It gives motivational energy that we could all use 

The bulk is what your body was waiting for. Nice! 

nice looking big 👍 My bulk looks nothing like that hahah but the strength is definitely improving every session. we will see what the results are in a few months  

I gotta say pretty fucking hot! Not in a gay way either. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Gotta work in Seinfeld quotes. 

@Supergainz, nah it isn't jailbroken. Maybe it's an Android issue. I'm on a Samsung. 

Great job, I read an article about muscle memory being a real thing! Just finished my first ever real lean bulk, it felt amazing to workout in a slight surplus of calories. I was really heavy when I started and after losing the weight was always nervous to eat in a slight surplus. Keep it up! 👍🏻💪🏻 

Thanks, Diablo! F$$k the 160s. I won't be going back there again. All my XL shirts are fitting well again and it feels good.  

@OTB, my first big bulk was almost 6 years ago. It was a "dirty bulk" only because I started bulking before I was lean. I went from 17ish to 23ish BF. I ended up at 212lbs and only stopped due to the tendon rupture. So this quick growth is clearly because it is regrowth. I don't know when it will slow down because I'm still smaller than I was but I'm leaner. It will probably slow down after another few pounds. @Kenny, look into the muscle memory. I haven't found a good source to cite yet. But I've read some online articles stating you can rebuild muscle in as little as 1/10 of the time it took to grow it originally. That would be insane.  

1/10 the time that's awesome for you to be able to catch back up on all the previous time put in. 

Lol, I'm not counting on 1/10 of the time. But even 1/3 would be cool. The downside is that my quads were lacking even back then. So not much muscle memory for those little guys.  

Muscle memory is totally real, the last time I quit lifting and got chubby I actually ended up heavier and way leaner once I got back into the routine. 

So my calves are 1" bigger than upper arms. And my forearms are same size as upper arms. According to online genetic potential (hieght, wrist & ankle size), my calves and forearms are already more than maxed out. My quads and upper arms still have another 2" & 1" to go. Lol 

Back looking at your 11/30, 1/2, and now this pic your size came back quick! Veins! 💪
