Smolov - Second Run, Day 8

Sat, 29 Mar 14

Squats: 45x10, 135x5, 235x5, 260x3, 290x2, 320x1, 355x2x3

Bench: 135x3x5, 150x5, 165x5, 185x5 , 205x5, 230x10x3

Couldn't finish my squats, my heart wasn't in it. Too heavy. Shoulder is still a little tweaked from the snowstorm, but bench wasn't a problem. I'll try the squats again tomorrow or Monday.

Squats: 135x5, 225x5, 245x3, 270x2, 300x1, 335x8x4

Bench: 135x3x5, 145x5, 160x5, 180x5, 200x5, 220x8x4

Outside, it's SNOWMAGGEDON! Inside, it's Smolov's revenge!  Decided on a full session since I took the day off and haven't had to head outside to remove the snow yet. Squats were pretty hard. Bench wasn't too bad, but you can feel it getting heavier.

Smolov - Second run, Day 6

Tues, 25 Mar 14

Bench: 135x3x5, 150x5, 165x5, 185x5, 205x7x5

Started to consider adding weight. Looked at the last day of this cycle which has me doing 240x10x3.  Decided to stick with the plan as I want to push those out flawlessly.

Squats: 45x2x5, 135x5, 215x3, 240x2, 265x1, 295x6x6

Bench: 135x2x5, 145x5, 160x5, 175x5, 195x6x6

Took a vacation day today, had a nice breakfast, chilled for a bit then hit the gym.  Nice, "easy" workout.

Smolov - Second Run, Day 4

Wed, 19 Mar 14

Bench: 135x5, 145x5, 160x5, 175x5, 195x5, 215x3x10

Easy, but like I said, its more important for me to properly execute this lift without butt lift. I have to be flawless at my current level of strength.

Squats: 45x2x5, 135x5, 225x5, 250x3, 275x2, 305x1, 340x10x3

Man, squats were a lot of work - but not soul crushing. Time limited today so I'll bench heavy tomorrow instead of taking a day off.
