You definitely had more than 190 in you. Not much but 5-10kg certainly. Was just a lack of confidence and technique went to shit as you got heavier. The 190 was good though!

Nice transformation James, looking great!
Choose Pancakes. Choose a filling. Choose a topping. Choose a fucking glass of milk, choose butter, chocolate and electrical food mixers. Choose good carbs, low fat and protein insurance. Choose DYEL and wondering why aren't you deadlifting on a Sunday morning.

What kind of split did you use during your cut?

Don't want to go into too much detail because I'm thinking about starting my own blog. However, towards the end after some tweaking it involved 3 full body sessions always starting with a squatting movement, along with AM/PM cardio. Additional work was performed on other days.
My squat actually increased during most of the cut (in the last 2 weeks it decreased) and all my other lifts stayed the same whilst I dropped bodyweight so it seemed like an okay template.
