Well enough, my PB went up 10kg when i switched. haven't been squatting or deading much while on smolov, i'll be getting back into a groove with them before the single lifts though. Hopefully I'll be able to pull 180kg sumo at the comp.

Today

C2 - 8 mins warmup, some high tens, then 10-20-20-10 x3. Rates around 30-33, splits around 1:33-1:36, sub 1:30 on a couple of the 10s. Happy enough.

Think my opener will be 165 at the single lifts. 170kg didn't get off the floor today, kinda tired myself out before it and my legs and back were fairly tired from yesterday. and i was hungry. and i was full of excuses :pac:

110kg x1.75.. (paused all these doubles)

Grrr. Pretty angry at myself. was going for a double at 110, both the first reps flew up, the second reps flew up and hit a brick wall about halfway up. It's my own fault for going out drinking FOUR times since i said last week that i woudn't go out drinking till after the single lifts.. think i defo would've gotten the double if i wasn't a little hungover too. new college timetable is taking its toll as well, really busy days and finding it hard to fit in time to eat enough! hopefully i'll stop being a feckwanker this week and get things together.

Ya shoulda just called over and banged on the door!!

Parsley

How would that have helped me?!

And i should add that 110kg is a PB on bench...

Parsley

I don't feel like logging today :pac:

I did a double at 130kg on squats... suffice to say i've been totally messing up my prep for the comp by not really caring about it and not squatting for about 4 weeks. Rolled onto my toes on the first rep and nearly fell on my face but got it up, 2nd rep was one of the fugliest reps evar. not slow, just all over the shop. one thing was i was 110% sure on depth. was thinking about scratching the squat on saturday, but i've decided i'm not gonna shy away just cos i'm scared of doing badly

pretty decent lifts man, especially the deadlifts:) as for the username, ffs

brutusthebarber

Oh sh1t I didn't know you were Parsely, thought you were just some dude Cardio knew:D

Good job on the squats and deads. Your squats looked comfortable, you just gotta wait for those calls!!

As for the bench, your second attempt with 110, when you got a proper lift out, was a good bit better.

See you in March:P
