| 9th February Squats 5x 160, 165, 170kg (w/ belt) Bench 5 x 130, 140 Short session! Very pleased with the squats, they are a PR at my new, lower bodyweight. | |||

| 5th February Squats: 5x5 150kg Bench Press: 5x 130, 3x145, 3x5 135kg (widened grip, pinkies on insie of outer ring) Weighted Pullups: 5xBW+10kg, 4x5 BW+15kg Chins: 2x10 BW, 9xBW, 8xBW The new squatting style is beginning to feel a bit better, I'm confident this way will ultimately lead to bigger weights. Also have switched to benching with a wider grip, reduced range of motion but feels slightly awkward. | |||

| 1st February 2014 Dieting quite aggressively so weights aren't as high as they would be usually. I'm also attempting to transition into squatting flat footed, as I think that style will eventually allow me to recruit my glutes and hamstrings to a greater degree, and so hopefully move more weight. Session Today (1.2.14) Squats - 140x5, 4x5x145 Block pull from below knee - Up to top sat of 5x200 Yesterday's session (31.1.14) Shoulder press - 2x10x60, 9x60 Stiff leggeddeadlift - 5x5 150 | |||

| First day back training after the Christmas break Decided to see where I'm at and go up to some relatively heavy (for me) weights Squats 5x170 Bench - Up to a single of 160 Deadlift - Up to a single of 230 Rows - 3x5 100 Strength is a little bit down, but that's OK - I'm cutting and a slight loss in strength is to be expected I suppose. | |||

Post Edited: 07.12.2013 @ 14:56 PM by MightyNoodle Yesterday I decided to cut my smolov cycle short as I am now in an exam period at university and would like to focus on revision for 2 weeks. I tested my squat and bench 1RMs Squat (beltless) 1x 180, 190, 195 and then fail on 200 195 beltless squat is a PR for me. Bench 1x140, 150, 160, 165 New PR! dannyboy73 said:Nice lifting What are you studying Mr Noodle? I study Law, it's fantastically exciting! :/ | |||

| I've had two workouts since I last updated Saturday Squat - 7x5 160kg Bench - 1x4 140kg - I was supposed to do 7x5 140kg but after getting some pain in my shoulder I stopped after partially completing the first set. Monday Squat - 10x3 170kg Bench - 5x5 140kg I've never squatted 170 for reps without a belt before, so the program is definitely working! I think I'm going to have to be more conservative with the weight I am using on the bench press; I had intended to do 7x5 but could only manage 5x5. All in all things are progressing well, and I think I am still set to hit a 200 beltless squat quite soon and hopefully push my bench up closer to 170 (and on to the magic 180kg!) | |||

| 10 x 1 of 220kg must have been exhausting! I do a set of 4 and feel like I can't walk for days. | |||

| I did 14 the other day, but I lied when I told you they were dead hang; they weren't the strictest form if I'm honest, but anyway, a pullup is a pullup so it's all good. Smolov Week 2 - Day 2 Squats 5x7 150kg (all done without any trouble at all!) Bench 7,7,7,6,6 x 130kg (it was supposed to be 5x7 130kg but I was rushed towards the end as the gym was closing so my rest time and recovery suffered a bit) All going swimmingly - now on to day 3 of week 2, 7x5 of 160kg and 137.5kg for squat and bench press respectively. | |||

| Today went very well! I've bought a pair of 'Vulkan Warm Pants' (similar to the Rehband Warm Pants), they do a brilliant job of keeping my hips warm and make squatting an altogether more pleasurable endeavour. Today's Smolov sets were as follows Squats - 140kg - 4x9 Bench Press - 125kg - 4x9 Then to finish up, 5x5 of medium-wide grip pull ups with 5kg of added weight. All going smoothly! | |||
