Skeptic's Smolov Squat Program

[Skeptic]

I always feel like shit in my workouts if I have too much fat in the 2-3 hrs leading up to the workout.

I havn't actually puked before, but I've dry wretched a bunch of times.

 

[miamiracing]

i puked one after 9 sets of heavy squats. everybody was just shocked and looked at me lol

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Puking sucks...

8@60kg
3@80kg
3@100kg
4@120kg
4@135kg
3@155kg
4@155kg
3@155kg----> Missed the 4th one.

I don't really mind too much that I missed the last rep... I felt strong, and I felt good. I was more concerned with keeping my form in tact than forcing the last rep.

[El Freako]

Go son!

 

[Pickle]

Smolov - Intense phase -Day 3 Week 2

Squats
8@20kg
8@60kg
3@80kg
3@110kg
3@127.5kg
4@145kg
5@155kg

0@155kg ---> I unracked the bar, but immediately felt dizzy. So I felt it best to rerack it and call it a day.

Did some trap stuff after this.

I am very much not handling these weights very well. I'm thinking of dropping the weight by 5%.

 

[El Freako]

Do what you have to do to get through the cycle mate. Your results will still be great!

 

[Skeptic]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I can't put my finger on what my weak point is... but I definately need a lot of work with heavier box squats.

 

[El Freako]

I'll put my finger on it in September... it might be an internal problem.

 

[Skeptic]

HAH.

I'm thinking its my posterior chain... I definately need to hit up the goodmornings hard.

 

[El Freako]

Yeah, I was thinking of your posterior too.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Nice effort there man, 155kgx5 is some strong squatting

 

[Skeptic]

Thanks PV! They are very hard reps haha

 

[Skeptic]

Was supposed to do Day 1 of week three yesterday... but I've been having epic sinus headaches the last couple days, so I decided not to... I'm just going to continue on with tomorrows

 

[Hypocrisy86]

Sucks man, wait till your 100%, and eat! EAT EAT!, lol then hit the gym!!!

 

[Skeptic]

Ok, so my headaches ceased... thank christ. I also decided to harden the fuck up today and not drop the weights like I said I was going to... with positive resultts.

Smolov - Intense phase - Week 3 Day 2

Squats
8@20kg
5@60kg
2@80kg

3@100kg
3@120kg
3@135kg
3@162.5kg

I did some back, trap and Bi work after this.


I dunno what it was... but I felt super strong today. Although the 162.5kg felt heavy, it was much easier than it has been in the past.

 

[Skeptic]

Training music.

 

[El Freako]
