How tall are you?  You don't "look" 195.  Bayesiangangsta?  Are you a statistician?

Squat
4x4 117.5

Set #3: http://youtu.be/G1pxbsVm8-k

I was happy with all but one rep of this workout. Happy to have put the GM movement out of the bottom behind me - so to speak. Feeling good about the last smolov session next workout - i'm gonna go for 125kg for 3 triples.

Feeling energetic after only doing 4 sets, i could have done another 4 easily but i'd rather let supercompensation occur instead. I tried Lyle's slow deep breathing (for heavy compound lifting) today. Made me super calm and allowed me to get my reps in without any psyching up which is good news for the CNS. I'm also still stimulant free thankfully for my poor CNS. I think i'll continue training this way. The hardcore chaos pain thing is not a good way to train long term - i'm with Pavel on that.

Might go shoot some hoops and test my vertical .. maybe it's improved? Lets see.

Back. Just as I was warming up for some running jumps - my toe started complaining. Guess it's not fully healed yet. So I took a standing jump and grabbed the ring with both hands. Which is as good as it was last time. Maybe slightly better. dunno. I think I need to take my squat up and bw down to 150x5@80 to see improvement on my jump to be honest.

Jump: video was practically pitch black. I'll take a better one later, sorry about that.

Bodyweight: 195

Lol, no.  I just didn't assume you were that tall.  195 looks about right for that height.  I'm the same weight and 4-5 inches shorter and struggling to get 25 pounds off.

Fair enough bud. Good luck with taking those 25 pounds off!

I wasn't sure if i'd bench today but in the end decided to take wed off to rest and i'll bench the final smolov session on thurs and friday for squat.

Today was a really good diet day until the evening. I had 3 eggs and a shake for breakfast and a banana. Nothing all day. Then in the evening i lost the plot. Ate 3 lean sausages and a steak. That was ok. 3 small bread rolls. That was fine. But I opened a bag of crisps and ended up eating the lot (think its about 1000 calories/bag).

I'm a little annoyed with myself messing up the very first day of the diet - but rationalised it by saying it's all for recovery & supercompensation so I can smash the last smolov session - which truth be told i'm pretty intimidated with. Bench Press is my WORST lift and i've sucked at it badly. As an adult I started benching 30kg a few years ago. I mean benching 90kg for reps is kind of insane when you consider my 1RM has been less than 90 forever. In fact just before starting smolov in December it was my max (with a handoff mind).



TLDR: Tomorrow will be the the most challenging day mentally. If I can move 90kg for triples i'll be EXTREMELY happy.

Bench
3x90 (PR), 2x90

Got a triple but it was shaky. Gonna stick with this weight until I can do more reps.

Then tested my chinup - and I found i couldnt even do one (was doing about a dozen for sets prior to smolov). So my lats/bis have atrophied. Next tested press - found warmup of 50kg heavy - i was using 65kg for worksets prior to smolov.

BW: 195.6

just one workout left now - squatting tomorrow.

lol nope.. i only did squats and bench. my deadlift is just as bad as my squat was before this program so not doing it might be better than doing it wrong. im a good chinner tho, i'll add them back next week in a big way. i'm not sure how to go about learning the deadlift which is high on the list of things to do
