So I just decided to start a workout log on here. I'm already 3 workouts into my 1st HST cycle EVER and hopefully it's progressively getting more and more challenging, which is good because the first couple of workouts were rather quick and painless. This is a bulk cycle for me as I'm looking to gain at least a solid 10lbs, and if I'm lucky, a few more.
In previous threads, I stated that I will be consuming 3800-4000cal to meet the bulking requirements I have calculated, so hopefully this diet treats me well. I'm eating all good clean food, no junk/fast food for me. Diet mostly consists of 3 protein shakes (all made w/ soy milk and protein powder), this organic grain/oat type cereal, tuna, pasta, honey, fruits/veggies. As far as supplements go, I'm only taking a multivitamin/mineral pill a day, and 3 fish oil capsules.
As far as the workout goes...here is what I did today for the 3rd day of Week 1 of the 15s (1 set of each exercise for 15s):
A routine:
Squat - 155lbs
Flat Bench - 105lbs
Chin ups - 12th plate on assistance machine
Dips - 13th plate on assistance machine
Pullups (Wide grip) - 12th plate on assistance machine
Military Press - 60lbs
1 legged Calf Raises - 50lbs
Triceps pushdown (rope) - 63lbs
Biceps BB curl - 45lbs
Still breezed through the workout in under 30mins as the previous two workouts. Only struggled a little bit on the pullups, as my next workout I will hit my 15RM (they are alternated with BB row, hence why I will hit my RM next Wed for pullups). Other than that, all the other exercises were performed well with good form.
Normally I do a core workout afterwards MWF on a swiss ball, which is about 20mins, but I felt kinda tired today so I'll post pone it till later today or perhaps tomorrow.
I couldn't say if I gained any weight this first week because the scale at my gym was broken so I couldn't weigh myself, so if it gets fixed by next workout, I will update that info.
I'm open to any suggestions or comments!
