Week 2 workout 3 complete. 8x4 w/125kg. This was probably the easiest workout so far, even thought it started kind of slow. I completed all 8 well within 45min. I know I could have taken less rest, but i waited till my breathing returned to normal and listened to a little Sepultura between sets. I think I scared the old people with that, but they will be ok.
I worked in front of the mirror today, after what I saw on my video from my Wednesday workout. Also, I moved my hands out to 1-inch outside the rings and my wrist were a lot more relaxed. With that, I was able to get the bar down about another inch, for a good low-bar squat.
Things to work on still: quads, hammies, and hip girdle are still fairly tight. The tightness is making it tougher for me to hit below parallel, so I’m going to have to work on that.
Five more sessions before the 1rm test and I am going to start thinking about how much of a “break” I am going to take between the Smolov Jr and Sr sessions. I’m thinking two weeks, so I can do some upper back and bench work and start the new year off right ;-).
