ouch no belt. i normally go no belt until my higher weights, then it just kills the lower back to much.
i feel ya on the pullups. days i do them first i can get into the teens with reps, and when i do deads first its a miracle if i get to 10

Nice pic there, looks good. Great inner thighs, and the glutes are well developed.

All I saw was va-gi-gi... :linedrunk:

Smolov Jr wk1, day 3

Deadlifts
8 x 4 x 155kg
Still no belt or straps used, I'm wondering how far I can get without them. Tomorrow will be the real test with 10 sets of 3. My lower back is feeling extra tight tonight.

Bench Press
6 x 6 x 105kg
This was surprisingly difficult, especially the last set. I attribute it to being exhausted already from deads. I might try and split the 2 exercises up tomorrow, deads before work and bench on my lunch break, and see how I fare then.

Underhand Chins
15 x bw
10 x bw
10 x bw

Superset
Crunches
40
30

Weighted Leg Raises On-dips-bars
15 x 10kg
12 x 10kg
