4/24 - Lifting #6: Smolov W2S1
BS:
265 4*9 (+10lbs)
-easy, a little winded but legs good for at least 3-4 more in the tank, but I think that's the point of moderate intensity/high volume. Back soreness. Program calls for adding 10-20 lbs depending on how last week felt. Will add 20 for the other 3 sessions.
Rows:
170 3*9 (+20lbs)
-struggling, might have done partial the last couple reps
BP:
140 *9, 145 3*9 (+15lbs)
-Noticing my back is more arched when climbing stairs or bending over to pick something up. expecting decreases in speed+athletic measures because of too much squatting, bad timing cause club tryouts are here. Not gonna make Truck so not too worried about it. Planning on doing smolov for around 6 weeks total, then starting to cut, doing an aerobic focused cycle and then going into triphasic cycles.
4/25 - Lifting #7: Smolov W2S2
BP:
155 3*7 (+15)
-almost failed, cut 2 sets off
BS:
295 5*7 (+20)
-hardest squat sets ever goddamn. Back really feeling it
4/28 - Lifting #8: Smolov W2S3
BS:
315 6*5 (+20lbs, -1 set)
-first set was bad, clearly not fresh despite 2 days rest. by the end my wrist started acting up dangerously so i cut off a set. Quads are feeling reaaaal tapped out an hour later.
BP:
165 6*5, 1*3
-weird. set 6 felt fine, set 7 almost failed. My bench movement efficiency is not too great so that's probably why
4/30 - Lifting #9: Smolov W2S4
BS:
335 10*3 (+20)
BP:
175 4*3, (+10)
180 6*3 (+15)
-nervous about week 3. I should, according to the program, be squatting all-time PR level 4 days a week for high volume.
