Friday
deadlift 325 lb 5, 3, 2
deadlift 255 lb 8x5
press 115 lb 5, 3, 2
press 95lb 8x5
farmer's walk 60 lb kettlebells, 2 long laps
Weight (Friday): 180 lb
Notes: This is the hypertrophy-oriented program from PTTP. A few heavy working sets close to 5RM, followed by as-many-as-you-can-do-with-good-form sets of 5 at 80% of the working weight. And yes, I'm actually trying to gain weight. It's a very different experience for me, since trying to lose it has sort of dominated my mental landscape off and on since the age of 12.
Diet-wise, I ate very cleanly last week, just a ton of food, and my weight moved up 2 lb, without me losing a belt notch. That's my planned stopping point for bulking -- the belt notch. We'll see if I can keep adding lean mass, but I'm planning to continue this through the holidays or until my waist expands. My body had been demanding more food with the recent colder weather, so I decided to just go with it.
