Torrential downpours yesterday meant no track...which is fine, I was going to be rotating in an off-day from my Tuesday track session soon anyhow. I like doing the overhead walks here...even though I can't use as much weight, it gives me something to build up, whereas before I was maxing out with the weight I have that I can put on the bar and not hit my ceiling rafters...
For this bulking cycle I think I'm going to focus on 5 rep sets, might as well take advantage of the extra calories and build some muscle. So for squatting, flat benching, incline benching, rows, and some other stuff, I'm going to do sets of 5. Seems like a good balance of strength and hypertrophy for a bulk. The idea is, once I do every set at 5 reps, I bump up the weights 5 (or 10) lbs. the next workout, and keep the weights static until I hit 5 reps on each set again.
