So I had to stop going to the gym for about 20 days and in those days I didn't really care what I ate and how much protein I took, work fucked me up. I started again last week.
>I'm 5'9" and I started to work out about 7.5 months ago and I was around 145 lbs when I first started. Work and school made it really hard for me but I was in gym 5-6 days a week in at least 6 months.
>On 22 may I was at 158 lbs
>Then I stopped working out till 13 june
>At 13 june I was 163 lbs
>Today I'm 167 lbs

I have kept about 90% of my strength for every group except my biceps and I kept 75-80% of my strength for my biceps.
I was thinking that I should keep bulking till it's 1 whole year. Then start to cut.
Bu is a minicut necessary(like 2 weeks)? What do you think?
