10/30

Squat
10x3x315

Bench
8x4x190

Various Gripped Pull ups
6x6xBw

Notes: Currently running a cycle of Smolov for squats and Smolov Jr. for bench. Assistance work is kind of taking a back seat since the squats are so draining, but I've been working on form for the snatch and clean as well. Previously I'd been doing Westside schemed training because everybody knows Westside is best side.

Not much. I'm eating a lot of tofu and skinless chicken right now because I've got a big Db fly workout planned for tomorrow.

11/1

Squat
4x9x275

Bench
10x3x190

6x15
1x10

Snatch
15x1x100

Face Pulls

Notes: Squats started off bad, but eventually got better in the last two sets. Bench felt reasonable strong for having squatted beforehand.

It varies usually. The 10x3 days take about 30-45 minutes for the squats. The 4x9 and 5x7 days are hellishly long because it takes forever for me to recover from them and I usually have to go walk at the track for a bit to recover from them before doing anything else. Bench doesn't take long at all, no matter the sets and reps, maybe 20 minutes.

11/3

Squat
5x7x295 (Didn't take enough rest after the first set and the second was 5 and 2 with about a 30 second breather)

Bench
6x6x175

Snatches
Lotsx95
5x115
3x135

Ring Dips
10, 8, 8, 6, 5

Notes: Two jack nobs in the squat rack next to me were being gomers the whole time doing quarter squats, checking out hot pieces of ass and what have you. They were sort of stocky fellows with dark hair. You guys have probably seen them in the CRWC before. Thankfully I was able to buckle down and hit my squats. Bench seemed easier than the previous weeks and at the end of this week I'll be at the end of the cycle and ready to max on it. Snatches are starting to feel really comfortable at 95 and 115; 135 wasn't quite as pretty.

You seem to have been checking them out a lot. I will do my best to steer clear though

At the end of every workout I'll spend a good half hour or so rolling out, stretching, and doing mobility work. My diet is pretty disgusting too. Tons of fat and protein and I eat to the point of feeling sick. On top of that I try to get 8+ hours a night and massages from my girlfriend (sometimes with happy endings) to heal up and promote recovery.

The eccentric portions of olympic lifts are sort of minimalized too, so it's easy to get away with doing them often.

11/5

Squat
7x5x315 (Belted after second set)

Dips
10x10x Body weight

Notes: I. Am. Tired. Weighed in at 157 without my sneakers and my butt is looking bigger, so that's progress. Legs felt kind of sapped from standing from 7:00 to 4:00 even after a five hour nap.

Pretty sure it was Prilepin who said that a happy ending increases protein synthesis.

11/6

Squat
3x10x330

Bench
7x5x185

HS Rows
70lbs/side: 24, 18, 14

Notes: Hit all my squats relatively easy. Some sets were faster than others. Can't wait to max out on them in a couple weeks.

11/8

Squats
4x9x285

Ring Dips
6,5

Notes: Felt kind of weak and tired going in today. I might be getting sick because even the ring dips were hard. Left hip and quad were kind of stiff so I rolled them out with a barbell. It was agonizing, but then it hurt so good.

11/10

Squats
5x7x305

Bench
2x3x200
2x2x200
1x200
Fail

Notes: Still not feeling 100% from whatever I had earlier in the week. After about the second or third rep on squats, each set started to be real grinders. Bench as was supposed to be 3x10x200. That didn't happen. I need to get better by Saturday when I squat again.

11/12

Squat
7x5x320

Bench
8x4x200

Notes: Legs felt reasonably strong for standing all day for the game. Whatever was bugging me in my quad went way, so that's encouraging. Bench felt good for not having done a full work out on it a while.

11/13

Squat
3x10x340

Notes: Final day of the Smolov base cycle. Felt really strong today. None of the reps were in question if I was going to hit them or not. I felt like I could have done some assistance, but I ran out of time.

Hopefully four plates or more. I'm going to take a few days off to gorge myself and get plenty of sleep (I'm pretty much mentally checked out until Finals roll around since all my mid-terms are done) and do some light lower body stuff in the meantime to stay fresh and then max out this weekend when everybody is gone and won't be here to distract me in the gym.

Best of luck, 4 plates is a big achievement. Make sure to take a video

I didn't lift last night, but I did manage to eat eight country-fried steaks smothered in gravy last night at Burge for supper. I felt awrful. Hopefully I'll be over 160 by Friday when I max on squats. After that it's a full week of nothing but sitting in my basement playing MW3, eating, lifting, eating some more and sleeping 10 hours a night. I'm coming back from Thanksgiving large and in charge.
