Have done 8weeks at 5reps - oddly, still seem able to increase weights every week or so (managed to get my squat from 80ish to 130, though don't think I was pushing as hard as I could have done before
) Getting hard, but no real pains (calves seem tight, but aside from that feel fine). Anyway, middle of next month I'll have to take a good week off (well, won't have to - holiday
) so would be good to time SD for then. Thinking of doing another week of 5s, then 10days to 2wks SD - that likely to be enough?
One more thing - trying to decide if it's worth cutting next cycle. Am 5'11 and up to 77kg. Don't feel like a fat bastard yet, but the weather's getting nice and it's be good to lose the gut
My concern is that I was under 68kg before (and pretty active) and still managed to keep the beer belly - my body seems to like storing any fat there
If I've put on 10kg by the end of the cycle (since late last year, doing weight training all that time) am I likely to have gained enough muscle to make any difference when I try to lose some fat again? Anyway, at least the gut looks a bit more in proportion now I'm a bit bigger
