Not a bad session, weather was actually quite warm out. Jumps weren't terribly good, but I may have been holding a tiny bit back. So last week I had food poisoning early on, it cleared up pretty quick...but then we went to Maine for the weekend and I pigged out there and...I think re-aggravated things? My stomach definitely wasn't ready. It sucks to start off a bulk that way. So this week I'm re-starting, now that my appetite is back and stomach is feeling better. It's definitely not 100% yet, it feels almost bruised, but hopefully that clears up over the next 10 days or so.
For this bulk I'm going to focus on more whole-foods, and about 3500 calories. Usually I have a lag of 2-4 weeks before I notice my strength picking up during a bulking cycle. If it's closer to the 2 week number I may up that to 4000 and see if I can crush some PRs. For the cut after that though I'm going to put it around 2650-2750 calories. I go too low most years for the amount of exercise I do, so I think I end up losing muscle at the end. I don't do crash-cuts where I take in like 1500 calories or something, but 2400 over the course of 4 months means that at the end my body is pretty depleted. I want to avoid that this time around. More on that later.
