11/8
SQ 185x3x8
BP 115x3x8
Well that was tough but I made it. Definite progress from a couple months back when I only did 115 for a single.

SQ 157.5x6x6
BP Rest
Wanted to do an extra week for the BP but was just spent. Resting up and testing 1RMs later.

Re: Alphagamma's Smolov Jr Log
SQ 167.5x4x8
Light BP 100x2x6
Was wondering why the workout was easier than I thought, just realized I did 4x8 instead of 5x7...so yeah. Welcome deload I guess?
Will just skip the actual 4x8 workout and do the 3x8 one instead.
BP slowly regaining strength.

Re: Alphagamma's Smolov Jr Log
23/8
Squat
200x1 210x1 220x1
Going into Friday, it was clear that I crashed and it was just impossible to do that 3x8 workout. Just decided to take a break for a week while doing some doubles @ 80%.
Managed to equal all time PR. Depth was better than that 210x1 few weeks ago too. Last time I did 220kg was 8 years ago at a 125-130kg BW.
Bench
115x1 120x1 125x1 130xFail
Yeah that made no sense and am kinda pissed. The 125x1 bar speed was way faster than last time (2s vs 4-5 seconds). Maybe I just ran out of gas from grinding out the squat.
Will try again this Friday/Saturday.

Re: Alphagamma's Smolov Jr Log
26/8
BP
115x1 120x1 125x1 127.5x1 (all time PR)
Well, a PR is a PR. Im still putting my 1RM as 130kg next cycle. Its clear that I am still fatigued. I recently did 115x3 @ 9 as well.
Given that my Squat did way better than I thought despite not even completing the program and with way less rest, I'm thinking the heavy triples are the issue here. Perhaps I might continue with Smolov but with no triples for now.

1/9
SQ 175x4x3
BP 105x4x3
Still fatigued. I could technically complete the 4x8 workout but am just going to drastically cut volume for this cycle.
