Got light head towards the end of the third squat set. Thought I was going to voimit towards the end of the fourth set. This was pretty freaking rough. Need to ramp up motivation to finish strong.
Sonofabitch Joe! PR after PR. You got some serious stones running Smolov, very intense.
Ive come to expect a PR at least on each page…awesome work Joe keep on pluggin…
Thanks guys, I’m hoping, well honestly I have to PR tomorrow and Friday to hit my numbers but then I’m goign to retest and the two weeks after that will be PR free.
pr storm in here.
didn’t expect anything less.
Ah noze!! you’ll be testing those maxes while I’m traveling. et merde. the epic reading will be done the minute I return.

Frenchie, I thought you would be interested in this little tidbit I figured out this morning since we’ve been talking about Sheiko etc.
I did my calculations on a 1RM of 355 a little over there weeks ago.
On Friday I have to do 10x3x330 which is 93% of that 1RM
Today’s training is trying to force myself to eat enough so that the Thursday/Friday combo doesn’t crush me.

That’s a hell of a problem to have. Sounds like pizza buffett for lunch and Golden Coral for dinner. Lucky!!!
I think you are up to the eating challenge. Some good BBQ ought to do it.

Crazy how that works out, isn’t it?
I’m so torn on what programming to follow when I come back. Reading your Smolov. Frenchie’s Sheiko. Fischer’s palatable (to me) version of 5/3/1. Or just linear training for awhile. Probably the latter.

My advice would be to not attempt Smolov on a comeback but get back into your groove before you try it, if you ever do.
Progress Report
Today is the first day I’ve had a rest day between lifting and still feel beat up. Its not bad, it just feels like I lifted yesterday instead of Tuesday.
Only today and tomorrow left in the base mesocycle so I’ll get a bi of a break.

Westside. Obviously.
try doing some kind of restorative activity while eating your face off today.
tomorrow will be nothing less than EPIC

Well today I have to squat 7x5x315 as well. The day 3/day 4 back to back combo is this part of Smolovs worst bit.
Good luck today Joe. Go get it!
