Thanks mate, it was a very big ego boost after the piss poor deadlifting!

 

[El Freako]

Congrats on hitting 4 plates!

Now aim for 6.

 

[Skeptic]

Hehe, lets get to 120kg first!

 

[El Freako]

120...pfft! What type of goal is that?

 

[Skeptic]

haha, the goal IS 6 plates, but intermediate goal is 120.

 

[El Freako]

I want 8 plates.

 

[Skeptic]

Haha, I want 8 plates on my other lifts

 

[Skeptic]

Ok, so I plan on starting Smolov Jr squats next monday... I am also thinking of running smolov Jr bench at the same time.

I think I can do it... is it a stupid idea?

 

[Xiva]

Stupid idea.. It will tear to much at your body and CNS. It's also advised only to do it in 1 lift at the time.

 

[Skeptic]

I might run 5/3/1 for bench and MP's then

 

[El Freako]

Stupid idea.. It will tear to much at your body and CNS. It's also advised only to do it in 1 lift at the time.

I disagree, with the Jr cycle it is easily possible to run 2 lifts at the same time, especially if you stagger one a couple of days after the other. I've run both deads and bench together and made pretty good gains on both. The Jr cycle is much less intense than the meso and intense cycles.

Skip: see PM.

I considered doing some ab work after this... but I nearly lost my lunch after the last set, so I decided against it.

I honestly forgot how much you think of dying during smolov.

 

[Pickle]

120kg*6 pretty decent. leaves room to be overtaken tho. xoxoox

[Skeptic]

Thanks Bulky, this cycle put on about 20kg on my squat last time, so I'm really hoping for something similar again... I honestly don't know what to expect from the bench!

 

[Zigurd]

Good luck with your death combo (bench and squat smolow)
