Squat:
warmup
325 9x
325 9x
325 9x
325 11x PR lol. I was thinking about how my PR at this weight was only 10, and here I was doing sets of 9, so I decided to just go ahead and beat my old PR here for fun on the last set.
Close Grip Bench:
warmup
245 9x
245 9x
245 9x
245 8x …
245 1x Didn’t quite get that last rep. Shoulders were way too fatigued from yesterday. I should take Smolov for bench more seriously.
did some pullups
1/26/2015
Squat:
warmups
345 7x
345 7x
345 7x
345 7x
345 10x PR lol. I kind of liked the idea of hitting a rep PR on my final Smolov set, so I think I’ll keep doing that. Also 345 for 7 was probably itself a rep PR before today.
Close Grip Bench:
warmups
260 7x
260 7x
260 7x
260 7x
260 7x paused last rep. Had to assert dominance over the bench program. Today was super easy. I just need to not destroy my shoulders anymore till I’ve finished this round of Smolov.
I love how 3x8 of one session for me is a lot of volume, but two days in a row of basically 2x the frequency I did is seemingly casual for you.
You’re such a volume whore.
Thop it!

I am on that road, and I can’t squat for shit. Did you give up on the feet up bench?
Chris, things like squats, deadlifts, bench press, etc have definitions and when anyone claims an illegitimate feat of strength on something, it cheapens the accomplishments of people who actually worked hard enough to get there.
Raise your hand if you’ve ever been redlighted for depth in the SPF

Yea I decided to go with feet down, but pausing is feeling really good. I’m still trying not to arch so much though to keep the strain off my lower back.

OUCH!
I get the feeling you literally are not allowed to bench with a shirt on at your gym.
