Yeah I am, still doing smolov... but I think I am having shit workouts... I dropped the weight by 5% in the last session, and I failed miserably. I was also feeling a bit sick, and doing smolov during a uni day... where I have to walk up a fuckload of stars before I train doesn't help either.

One more week of death... THEN THE MAX!

I think you need a break.

I do very much so mate. I have just over a week left, and then about a week after that I go to Vietnam for 2 weeks... so I should be fine.

Unfortunate that you weren't feeling up to par. Hopefully you come out this next week and put up some great new numbers. If not, no worries. Do you see changes in the mirror at least? Afterall, that's what most of us seek more so than strength gains (although strength gains are always nice and motivating).

Enjoy Vietnam, you taking the trip off from training? I think it would be wise and well deserved.

Despite having to drop your numbers a bit you'll still have made great gains by the time you finish the cycle. Go hard Skip! :xyxthumbs:

Yeah, I won't be training during the two weeks. I think it is a much needed break haha

Thanks mate! I do admit that 20kg addition to my max is a great effort, but I can't help feeling disappointed.


I've desided to fuck 180kg right off now. My goals are set at 200kg.

Final day, was there a break of a couple of days prior to it?

If not do a max squat day. You'll nail that 180kg or more, mark my words!

And a 200kg goal sounds like you want to take on Benny.

I had a taper day, and about 3-4 days between that and the max day. I think it was my lack of care for my body with all the other aspects that fucked the attempt.
