Fucking pumped about the max. I was hoping for 160-165kg, but 170kg is brilliant!

This 180kg goal is definately going to be smashed.

To Smolov or not to Smolov, that is the question. I want to totally murder you in our squat off, but I don't want to let my deadlift suffer in the meantime. Oh the dilemma!

That sounds like a challenge! :weightlifter:

You're about 5 weeks ahead of me at the moment. We'll see what I can do.

Smolov Timbo, Smolov.

After my ME/DE program. I need to bring up a couple of things (mid section, hammys) before I can tackle a specialisation program.

Besides I want to see you and Kurt do some C&J's and Snatch's.

Wait, you want to see me jerk and clean? And the only snatch I do belongs to my missus.

I'm considering messing with the Smolov program and adding in deads once a week or every 2nd week maybe.

It might be suicidal but I want my deads to keep on moving forward also.

I would like to do some snatches and C&J's... but I'm pretty sure my gym doesn't allow olympic lifting?

Ha :e5cdunno: I guess the funny hasn't come around again yet.

But given that excel sheet I think we should both give the Smolov a go.

You've joined the big leagues with that squat. They won't argue with you doing some O'lifting. :gaysign:
