Strength is way up! I'm not at Tank999 levels or anything, but pretty good for me. Had to change up my HST schedule though, when I realized that what used to be my 5 rep max wasn't gonna cut it. Just a few examples, DB Incline bench was 70's, today I did 6 reps of 85's with no spotter. Single DB row was 85, today I did 6 reps at 100. Every lift went up by the same percentage, except seated shoulder press, which I'm still taking it easy for another week, probably. I also did some squats today, with plates under my heels to shorten up the stretch on my Achilles tendon. When I get out of bed in the morning I'll find out if it was a good idea or not.
Weight finally seems to have stabilized. Been at 204 for the last few days, which is surprising considering that over the weekend with our celebration I was not following any kind of diet. Totally happy with the strength gains so far, and am hoping that trend continues. Definitely not happy with the weight gain though. Most days I walk around feeling more like this.......

I know it's not that bad. But it is kinda in the back of my mind.
That is awesome brother. You are what I call over responding to HST. Go ahead and increase as it allows. This has happened to me only a few times in probably 5 years. Oh fu ck you!
