Another thing I would like to point out is that this is a bulking workout, but as long as you go heavy enough for all the pyramid sets of each workout (usually compound lift in the beginning), you will gain strength a lot too. For example, on my back&leg day in the first week, this is my rep and weight for deadlift:
warm-up:
2x10 135 lbs
work set:
2x10 155lbs
2x8 185 lbs
1x6 205 lbs
Today, I just did my back&leg day and this week is week six, the last week of this workout. This is what I did today for deadlift:
warm-up:
2x10 135 lbs
work set:
2x10 185 lbs
2x8 225 lbs
1x4 275 lbs
Though that last set of 275 lbs was really hard and painful, I got solid four reps without bouncing the weight or anything. So I'm definitely pretty satisfied with the progress I made in the past six weeks.
Also another important thing for this workout is that you will have to EAT a lot. Get plenty of carbs, protein, fiber, and vitamins. During those heavy lifts, you'll definitely need energy from carbs. Since I was pretty free in the beginning of the summer, I cook almost everyday, salmon, chicken, steak, asparagus, green bean, brown rice...... So my diet hasn't been quite successful as well. Session C just started, I'm getting busier, so I don't know if I'll be able to keep it up haha.
