working out with DOMS shouldn't be dangerous. you should be able to overcome enough of the soreness to at least do some productive work, even if not at highest quality. this is why a lot of those programs have transition or introductory blocks -- smolov sure does. maybe try extending your warm up a bit and doing more paused squats with light weights once you get under the bar.

fair enough about triceps and the fact that you do a fair amount of CG pressing. for curls, i'd drop the heavy sets and do more volume with less weight. so like 3x12 with the same weight across all sets.

for kroc rows, if you feel them mostly in your arms, you're doing it wrong. they're designed to hit your upper back. you could also try wide-grip rows, either inverted with your bw or a weighted vest or DB in your lap, or seated cable rows. just focus on using your lats to initiate and then complete the movement. if i don't do that my traps tend to take over. ymmv.

for curls: more volume. sets of 10-12. also add direct tricep work, either DB kickbacks or rope/cable pressdowns.

for lats: pull ups have more lat involvement than chin ups, so maybe switch to pronated rather than supinated grip. i also find that kroc rows are awesome for the whole upper back: lats, traps and posterior delts. and good for grip, too.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: low back a little
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up
extended hip opening sequence, felt good. peroneals are really tight on my right leg.

- shoot around and jumps x 30 mins
had to leave because gay* dodgeball is renting out the gym on sunday afternoons now until march. good to know. nothing really ME but lots of drop-steps and SLRVJ. felt okay, shot was all over the place.

guess football isn't happening, i haven't seen anything about it since a couple days ago. oh well, probably for the best.

*literally, it's a league sponsored by a gay sports bar and made up almost completely, if not truly completely, of gay men.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none. left shoulder actually feels better than it has in...a year? like maybe 85%.
MENTAL STATE: annoyed

- warm up

- SVJ x 3

- DB jump squat @10s x 3

- SVJ

- MSEM squat 295 x 5
dude came over to tell me i was making it look too easy. warm ups felt very smooth and solid, minimal twisting and very even. felt very solid, later reps stronger than earlier reps. AELS was all that was between me and three plates.

- superset x 2
-- DB OHP 50s x 8,6
-- pull up +15 x 8,6

- inverted row x 5
- push ups x 35
- kroc row 80 x 15,10/each
- inverted row x 5

- stretch

tomorrow will jump and play touch football in some order. gonna take it easy on the football, last time i played i was sore for a week. maybe cap myself at an hour. at least it'll be above freezing tomorrow.

^^^getting down in weight is not to be underestimated. witness the success, for a time, of adarq's athletic anorexia quest. i'm pretty lean but i wonder if a dedicated cut wouldn't have me jumping higher, or if the cost isn't worth it.

it is cold as buhjeezus outside. reminds me of college.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings a little
ACHES/INJURIES: none

Maybe you both just need more volume, after listening to layne norton? i think thats his name, I increased the number of sets from a warm up set then 3-4 working sets ex. 135, 225, 275, 315, 325 to multiple sets.  Ex.  135,185,205,225,250,275,300,315, 325 etc etc etc.  I've had a 440lb bench before so if you guys need advice on it then lemme know, sadly enough the best thing I know how to do is increase my bench.

seconded. moar volume.
