What are your current goals? Short term and long term?
I started my cut aiming to get down to 180-185lbs. I've now got down to 185lbs slightly ahead of schedule, so I'm going to keep on going until I reach 180lbs (or maybe even lower).
Since I've almost reached this, I'm obviously starting to think about my next target. The simple answer is "clean bulk" - especially since I've always had weight issues, and also had an eating disorder a few years ago - it's going to have to be a spotless bulk.
Less simple - I'm thinking 20lbs of muscle gains in the coming year. Now, since this is my first "clean bulk", I'm not sure if I'm cutting myself short here, or if I'm being too ambitious. If I target 2lbs a month then I think I should keep most of the fat off.
My last bulk was dirty. I didn't even realise how dirty it was until I ended up looking in the mirror and thinking "That guy does not look like he hits the gym!" It's fair to say I won't do that again - but we learn from our mistakes.
If I'm being too ambitious, or too conservative, then let me know your opinion.
What's everyone else's current/future goals?
