End of the bulk, sitting at 74kg and 1,68m.

Now 2-4 weeks of maintenance (at 3700 kcal on training days, don't ask how) and then finally prep till late october for WNBF🙏

I suspect it is quite high. What do you think?

Tried to keep the pics identical

how can i achieve this back? it ain’t much but cool enough for me what exercised or muscles should i focus? and realistically how much time would it take for me to achieve it?

first pic is the goal rest pics are my physique

I am 24 years old 6'0 tall and I walk about 12k steps every single day, I am trying to get down to around 200 pounds, my calories so far have been 2200 calories but it seems my weight is starting to stall, should I cut my calories down to 2000 or keep at 2200 and see what happens?

I am basically 6 foot (5’11.75) at 147 pounds morning fasted weight. I am currently cutting trying to get to a lean base in order to bulk for a long time and put on some actual weight cause my weight for my height is embarrassing. I plan to only cut for 3-4 more weeks then find maintenance for 3 weeks and then I’m going on vacation. Am I close to my goal or 12-13% body fat? I don’t have a picture of my legs but they are not as lean as my back but leaner than my mid section so do with that as u will.

Started cutting back in early November and have maybe two more months to go for my goal. I split the cut up into two parts for a metabolism reset. My doctor tried to diagnose me with a thyroid issue bc of my blood test showing hyperactive something or another but she didn’t understand that I was 3 months deep in the cut with no meaningful refeeds. So I took a Month to be at maintenance cals. I’m guessing I was at 20% and now 12% body fat but wanna hear what others believe

Dear followers of the GregDoucette thread!

Let me guide you through my weight lifting journey!

First pic: 2014.04.05 -> first time ever joining a gym, probably most of you would consider this as an ectomorph build (sadly I don't know exact weight)
Second pic: 2021.06.13 -> graduated, now working, years went by and now MORBIDLY OBESE most of you would consider this as endomporh (weight was around 132kg)
Third and fourth pic: 2026.04.22 -> a week out from my first bodybuilding competition, most of you would consider this as mesomorph (weight is 77-78kg)

Been following Greg and took his advices, that's how I've achieved 20-25kg weight losses year to year in the last couple years, and this year I've decided that I'm ready to take it up a notch and try my best by stepping on a bodybuilding stage. My height is 177 cm by the way.

It's been a long journey, I've learned a lot and still learning, it is an amazing experience. Feel free to ask any questions I'm happy to answer.

My upcoming competitions:

- Wabba Hercules Olympia (05.02)
- Irondiva NPC Natural Regional (05.09)
- NaturAllStars INBA (06.06)
- INBA World Championship (06.20)

Started weightlifting for the first time in April 2025 at 301 lbs. After a year of lifting and dieting I’ve gotten down to 250. The diet fatigue is crazy and the random aches and pains due to lifting heavy while in an extended deficit has gotten annoying. I’m happy with where I’ve gotten since last year and now I’m gonna spend the next 6-12 months maingaining to try and start actually putting on muscle before I aim for to get actually lean. I guess I’m around 20% but I’m probably just delusional.
