This is based on me increasing calories 500 above maintaince and 500 under maintaince this way I should be gaining about +1 lbs per week bulking and losing -1 lbs per week when I am cutting.

I'm extremely impressed that you've planned out what you'll be doing in 4 years time! Those macros at the bottom, what will that be in calories?

Looks pretty good I guess, providing you can stick to that plan though!
