Hi,i just turned 23 and i train for strength for almost 1 year (november 2007) and i am training since october 2006.I’m not a native english speaker and if i make mistakes i apologize. First,some background:
I have 90-92 kg(~ 200 pounds),6"0 and i am training raw (with only a belt) and my best lifts are :
squat estimated max 170 kg (375 pounds ),i have done a 150 kg low box squat a month ago and this is the weight used for Smolov.I hope that i made the correct decision.I will see.
bench 125 kg (275 pounds june 2008 )
deadlift 205 kg (450 pounds - april 2008)
I decided to make a training log to keep me on track and to ask you questions in an effort to improve these numbers …
Today i started Smolov cycle and my legs are sore already.
I hope i’m not gonna hurt my back and i hope i will finish the cycle.My goal is to do a 180 kg squat(400 pounds) by the end of september/beginning of october after completing the base mesocycle and the intense mesocycle …
