Due to years of changing my mind on cutting/bulking every few weeks, I just got fat, and stayed weak.
I am not joking when I say I have been lifting for over 4.5 years, coming up on 5 years soon.
I'm 5'7 82kg in pic related; currently cutting down to 70kg or so.
Is it possible to "reset" yourself lifting-wise?
Current lifts
Squats 3x8 - 70kg
Bench 3x8 - 80kg
OHP 3x8 - 55kg
Chin-Ups 3x8 - 82kg (bw)

>bench more than squat
My main question here is; is it possible for me, once I hit 70kg, to start my lifting from scratch all over again?
I don't want to reset right now because I'm fat and I want to be lean before I begin. I don't want to just begin bulking on a fresh/novice routine again right now while being high body-fat %.

I actually stopped benching/squatting at one point, and only did Hammer Strength Press machine and Leg Presses.
But I no longer have access to those plate-loaded machines and rely only on Barbell Bench and Squat now....

Did you just make a thread about this a couple hours ago? Or was that someone different.
Why don't you continue to lift on a cut? That's what I've been doing for the past few months and I'm making progress with a heavier squat than you.
Why do you want to start over from scratch? To work on your form?

I didn't say I want to stop lifting.......I'm just asking if after nearly 5 years of lifting, is it possible to start over again from scratch.
I feel like I lost the ability to progressively overload, even after despite the fact I'm lifting light as fucking weight (much lighter than I originally did in my 1st year of lifting)
