Been Squatting 4x a week for the last 9 weeks, and benching in between 3 days per week. Week 10 for squats starts this comming Monday. Feeling good,  no real niggles. Much stronger in this area now, definitely 180-190 there in the next 3 weeks or so.

Squat.

95x1x3

 

110x1x3

 

125x1x3

 

Belt and sleeves.

150x2x3

 

Benchpress

60x4

 

80x4

 

95x7x5

 

Top set on squats felt fairly easy, was never going to fail any of these, tbh if any of you are reading this, i`ve been doing Smolov  for the last 11 or so weeks and am 3 and a bit weeks into intense mesocycle. Body isn`t too bad, apart from a sore calf which ive been strapping, and little bit of shoulder pain but meh.

I believe my squat technique has improved a lot since doing this, also with frequency it has helped me moved more weight.

I`ll go back to 5/3/1 after this.

 

Peace yo!

Squat (kind of a deload I guess).

All Beltless/Sleeveless.

 

120x1x3

 

135x1x3

 

125x3x4

 

Was supposed to do this at 5:30am but instead had 10 hours sleep. Good thing is though I have my weights and rack here at work. So did my workout in between, doing invoices and ordering stock lol.  Don`t normally do this but oh well still got it done. :-)

 

Peace.

Squat: test 1rm

Warmup

120x1x3

 

140x1x3

 

150x1x1

 

160x1x1

 

170x1x1

 

182.5x1x1 cut it a bit high

 

 

182.5x1x1  ( did 4 sets of singles).

 

Last 3 sets definitely to depth this is a pb for me and im just stoked. 4mins rest between each set.

It felt a bit daunting to have that much weight on my back for the 1st time aye but I just treated it the same as the 160, except braced  even tighter (those popping out eyeball feels;lol). 

 Definitely felt the extra 20kg or so. 

 

Peace yo!

Hello.

Starting up this log again after having about 5 months off doing no training at all.

Good to get over Xmas,  New years etc, now its back to normal.

It`s suprising how much strength you lose when you don't train.

 

My lifts are done in the morning at about 5:30am.

Easing into it lol.

Squat:

 

60x1x10

 

80x1x10 (sleeves)

 

100x1x10 (belt and sleeves)

 

120x1x5

 

140x1x5

 

140x1x4

 

Better than my last squat session, so strength slowly coming back, just have to be consistent, and train harder. I don`t have any aspirations to do a comp as such, just want to become reasonably strong.

 

Cheers.
