Brehs help me figure out my physique

[King]

Aight so here’s where I am - I took a long break in my training and pretty much stopped all of my periodization and structure.

My question is if I gained muscle, lost muscle, or have the same amount. I’m about to start my cut and really wanna look like the below pic when I’m done. But idk if I have the same amount of muscle since I’m not lifting like I used to and if I need to bulk up some more.

As of right now I’m 210, complete flabset titties and love handles

Spoiler

This photo was taken in late 2019 - I believe I was in the 190-185 range.

I’m not tryna waste time dedicating to a cut if I’ll turn out smaller than if I would’ve bulked for a few more months.

It’s a lot of factors here, for example I’ll assume the lower weight picture was post workout pump influenced.

It looks like most of the structure was there but the reality is likely that if you went off the reservation then it’s a combo of muscle loss and fat gain. Point being it’s unlikely that by simply cutting you will look the same as the lower weight pic.

Lastly I wouldn’t bulk anymore too much abdominal fat to go that route IMO. Be clear I’m not judging but I wouldn’t add to that any longer.

Both are pumped. I tried to reproduce the pics, did the same workout in each.

Prolly gonna cut the bulk down to another 3 weeks, before the cut lowering my calories tho

You're over thinking it.

Cut to 190 and reassess.

You won't lose muscle as long as you're not dieting like a dumbass.

Bulking with less bodyfat > bulking with more.

You and me ain't even cool like that, but I'm not even coming at you sideways () right now: if you don't train legs "like that" your physique will always be shytty. (This applies to everyone, not just you.)

Folks really bushing legs and walking around like SpongeBob SquarePants.

Height is not an excuse. Hafthor Bjornsson aka the mountain squats and I doubt you're taller than him.
