LiE's Strength Training Log

New log time.

Started Smolov Jr Bench (3 weeks) and Russian Masters Squat routine (9 weeks). Goal is to get stronger. Deadlifts are being deloaded in favour of working on form.

21/10/13

Bench
BARxmillionsx2
60x10
80x5
105x6 x6 - not too bad, tomorrow should be more challenging.

Squat
BARxlotsx2
60x10
80x10 - so tight and my hamstrings were still fatigued from Saturday.
100x7
120x3
150x1
160x2 x6 - much harder than it should have been, but with non-existent glutes and hamstrings it could have been worse.

Ez Curls
30x12 x3 - short rests, sickening pump.

Smolov Jr has given me a love bite...

Serious SnM going on with these new programmes!

Awesome!

Looks like a fun program, warm up to the big stuff? I swear I thought you posted a vagina for a second.

Zefan · 21 Oct 2013 at 21:36

Didn't you post a few weeks ago saying "Time to make some size gains (not powerlifter size), I'm no spring chicken" or did I just imagine that?

Maybe it's just in my dreams that you go full hypertrophy.

He's an indecisive phaggot that's why

Still subscribed for all kinds of sickening strength gains

Basically this. Ultimately being strong is more important to me.

Welcome back

Freefaller · 22 Oct 2013 at 11:35

I reckon you still need to do some HST for your calves though

Welcome back to it. In for gains. :cool:

Just front squat on your toes.

Maybe some seated raises while in the 'hole' too? :cool:

There actually is a snatch drill that involves back squat -> snatch grip OH press whilst in the hole for reps -> overhead squat back up.

It's pretty unpleasant.

Looking good bru

Syla5 · 25 Oct 2013 at 22:19

Paused bench or t&g? I am guessing not paused, if so that's gotta be brutal!

LiE · 25 Oct 2013 at 23:09

TnG, paused just wouldn't happen with Smolov Jr.
