Great back workout. Happy to be able have full control of my scaupla movement :smiley: Finally feeling symmetrical when performing my exercises now, and will be working on building back my strength. Very excited for future workouts.

Deciding to run somlov jr for front squat and again for bench press. Loved the progress and energy during the program. Past attempts at following my own programs haven’t worked too well, I tend to overdo my volume and do too many accessories. Really hopeful for the next week weeks

You know the problem, now make the cuts :smiley: IMO cut accessories not volume. Eat more sleep more for volume…but I probably have the too much volume bug.

Also in for smolov intrigue and progress!!!

Smolov jr front squat - C1W1D1

Front squat - BAR, 95, 135, 170x6x6
Pull up - BWx8-10x3
Goblet lunge - BW, 50, 70, 80x12
Plate overhead side lunge - BW, 10, 20, 25, 35x10
Standing calf raise - 90, 130, 170, 210x8

Great workout. I find side lunges, without the step, is helping me realign my hip position. Since doing them, I noticing improvements with keeping the weight centered (left/right) and not drifting/shifting my weight towards one leg.

Exactly what i’m tending to do Boot. I’ll only add accessories that I think will fix a weakness of my main lift, or corrective accessories to compensate for increased volume on the main lifts. Even then, the accessory volume per session will be minimal and spread throughout the week.

Thanks for chiming in, maybe at the end of the cycles/year I’ll post progress pics and vids.

Adding cable laterals for the pump and hopefully a capped shoulder appearance. If this negatively affects my bench press it’ll be removed. Overall, good workout. Feeling much more stable and controlled on the bench press this time around.
