from what i'm reading sounds like you're headed towards something similar to the old school squats & milk routine.  there are several variations out there if you want to google it but the one i'm familiar with would have you following up your squats with a set of pullovers w/25lbs and then 2-3 circuits of dips, pullups and situps.

Something like that wouldn't actually be too bad. Realised I have to squat today and tomorrow, but I'll definitely keep this in mind for Thursday.

Thanks mate. Yeah, I was thinking that I could just do a light upper body session on my off days to maintain what I have. Just compound exercises like push ups, chins, etc - whatever I can do around my house I guess. As you said, I don't want to go too hard out.

And yes, I am determined to complete Smolov, whether it's 100% suited to my bodytype and experience or not.

Alright, cheers.

Thanks. Do you think it'd be wise doing upper body with Smolov? Or would that be over training?

Do you know if one can adopt a LR plant or is it genetic?

It's definitely progress if you're hanging on the rim. There is actually quite a large difference between grabbing the ring and hanging on it. You can't hang on it if you only have the upper half of your fingers around the rim. You need the whole finger - well done on achieving this.

Is he left or right handed, do you know?
