Done.

Ok, so I treated squats like it was a meet. I smoked 475, 520 was easy as hell, and 545 my form kind of broke down getting out of the hole but I arched my back hard and was able to make the lift. My goal for 3/27 is a 555 squat, and I just hit 545 on 12/31, so I should be able to put 10 more pounds onto my squat. Last weeks squats was definitely an off day since I struggled with 515 with wraps. No more wraps for me for awhile.

[poopoo333]

Day 4 of training cycle

Today: Smolov, Day 2

I could barely walk yesterday or this morning. Walking on campus at school was horrible. Walking into the gym was tough without looking funny. I could barely hit depth without being majorly uncomfortable with the bar. Then something funny happened....all my soreness went away right before my first working set after my warmups.

I have not yet struggled with a rep on Smolov.... yay
Squats cure sore legs.

Today was awesome. I don't even feel like I just squatted right now. I didn't struggle with one rep, and I can feel my form is improving heaps and bounds for some reason. I don't loose form or get loose at all on any rep.

[poopoo333]

Day 7 of training cycle

Today: Smolov, day 4

Squats-10 sets of 3 with 440 lbs

I am getting really used to all of this squatting, I don't even feel like I squatted today. I only had trouble with one rep, and that was on set 7 I think. The 2nd rep wasn't so smooth because my form broke down a little bit just for that one rep. All the other reps felt fine.

[Coke]

Wow man, training program is killer!!

[poopoo333]

Wow man, training program is killer!!

Yeah, just trying to get this squat up to 600.

It felt too heavy coming down so I just told my spotter to take it instead of straining for a failed lift, 275x3 ..this is my first time going heavy on decline bench and I suck at it. So 340 is my decline PR but I will probably never try to beat it again

3 board press-275x5, 285x5, 295x5, all easy

Thanks.

Squats-barx5, barx5, 135x3, 225x2, 315x1, 5 sets of 7 with 410

BB curls-5x7 with 95 lbs

Some squat notes:
Squats were easy as hell today. 1st set felt like feathers, 2nd set and 3rd set was fine, 4th set I kind of just jumped into it and it felt a little difficult, and the 5th set was perfect. By perfect I mean every rep was easy, and as deep as I could go. On the 2nd set, the 7th rep messed me up. I basically lost concentration and lost tightness down in the hole, and somehow while I was just sitting there with the weight on my back I tightened back up and squatted the weight up no problem.

[Coke]

Props on those squats, 5 sets of 7 with 410 is no joke.

[poopoo333]

Props on those squats, 5 sets of 7 with 410 is no joke.
