No, there's not much point to to a reverse if you know your maintenance.
Instead of going straight to maintenance, you can slowly ramp calories and get leaner while eating more food, which is nice considering you're usually pretty hungry at the end of a cut.

All I want to do is go hard for another 2.5-3 weeks, then immediately cut out cardio and increase calories from there.
I don't have the mental fortitude to continue cardio after that point.. therefore I don't want to reverse

Ok just tried to squat lmao. I think I will deload until next Monday. Was a joke.
Also need some advice - I think that this 531 type progression really isn't working for my squats. It seems to really really help with my bench and OHP but squats kind of don't like it at all and deads are luke warm but not terrible.
What do you guys like to do for squats? I'm thinking of keeping the 531 going for the presses because they are progressing so well even now coming out of a 6 month cut
Also I think my bench is legit better than my squat at the moment. Not sure I could 245 for 10 squat which makes me sad as hell lol.

But that has to be a major part. Squats never feel the same week to week and I generally have no idea how they're gonna go even as I'm warming up. While bench I know after my first set with the bar how it's gonna go etc bar path feels same week to week etc
Open to all routines. My squat literally hasn't progressed in the time my bench has gone from 225 to 315+
I mean it's been up its been down but generally I'm at the same place I was 2 years ago

@ Elvis
Here is the program I used prior to working with hamza. This is the first volume block that got me from 350-370 on my squat in 4 weeks. Also upped my bench from 225 to 235, and my deadlift from 405-425 in those 4 weeks as well.
BoB also worked with Arian11 at one point i believe. This is his program (one that he gave out for free, and is just a template)
I also have the second volume block, and his AMRAP block that I also used before hurting my back last fall.


Added quality pounds to my lifts, with only a slight change in bodyweight, about 162lbs-165lbs beginning weight/end weight. This was before I used the cacao.
If you'd like the program excel sheets to use, PM me an email address and i'll send it your way.

As for the tech, nothing has changed. I've been steady cruising since post-show 2 years ago. I have no motivation to blast, I'm pretty pleased with my physique and lift 5x a week at lunchtime simply to kill time and be able to chow on more good eats.

Currently only flat benching once a week, and close grip once a week. The rest of my volume is filled with accessory work (lots). My strength has dropped a decent amount since lowering protein intake and dropping the other things you use pre meet though lol. I hit 3x5x230 today on bench, which would have been RPE 8 when i was prepping...now RPE 9, 9.5, 10.
