Great cycle whistledixie!
Keep up the good work—after your well-earned rest!
Are you planning on increasing your bw over the next few cycles? I would have thought that a lean 175lb would be a good goal for someone of your height. Definitely doable but maybe you don't want to get that heavy?
175 lbs would be awesome!
My weight has dropped a little the past month - I think, due to increased demand at work and the stress that accompanied it. Things are leveling out, though and I hope to add back 6 or 7 lbs in the next couple of months.
But I'm not going to be 'bulking' again until after I run a local 5k later this year that I've already committed to. I want to beat my time from last year and hopefully hit a lifetime PB.
I was thinking about trying the 20-rep squat (squats & milk) thing for bulking this fall. I have sort of batted the idea around of doing a squats & milk/HST hybrid. Since the squats & milk program has a few assistance lifts - I thought about programming the assistance stuff so it follows the HST 15 - 10 - 5 rep progressive load formula. Could be interesting.
If I can keep my bw somewhere close to 160 lbs between now and then, the squats & milk program should easily give me another 15 lbs.
