Workout #1
I'm skipping the 15s this cycle in order to have a shortened bulk cycle that I'll be done with before basketball season which starts in mid january for me. Hopefully I get to 225lbs by the season, and I can use basketball as my cardio to do a cut phase after this third bulk cycle.
Squats: 225lbs - 2x10
Flat Bench: 150lbs - 3x10
BB Row: 105lbs - 3x10
Military Press: 105lbs - 3x10
So I felt solid on the squats but as soon as I finished my 1st set, the back of my legs along my hamstrings just got very sore/cramped and I could hardly walk after that. The bench was good, although I had to cluster the last set 8/2 reps cuz I felt like I was coming to failure on the 8th rep. BB Rows felt easy and solid, and same for military press.
Weights: 212-213lbs - I seem to have lost a few pounds during my 11 day SD but I think that's a result of not eating enough during the SD period. I'm gonna eat like no other for the next 4-6 weeks of this phase and hopefully reach my goal of 225lbs before my bball season.
