    Miiiiiiight start WS4SB part III sometime soon, if i have a gym to do it in.

    :edit: due my gym's swimming pool expanding to encompass the rest of the complex I'll more than likely be doing improvised bodyweight-shtyle stuff, maybe some weights if L brings his stuff down... and some HIIT cardio stuff to get rid of some fat and get back a chunk of fitness/lung functionality :P but if i can wrangle my way into the CIT gym...

    December 7th a date which will live in infamy...

    Smolov Week 1 Day 1

    Shoulder Warmup

    Bench
    20kg x20
    60kg x10
    70kg x6

    80kg
    6x6

    Deadlifts, Sumo
    60kg x10
    80kg x10

    112.5kg
    6x6

    DB Cleans
    10kg bells
    4x12

    DB Curls
    20kg bells
    3x12-15ish

    Bench: Hit a groove on set 4, sets 5 and 6 went fairly handy. Need to start doing more warmup sets!!! Also, wrist wraps felt good, kept the wrists tight, I often have niggling pains in em when i bench.

    DLs: v. good, for my first time going sumo. weight flew up, dunno whether it was the new belt or the new stance. sets 4 and 5 went pretty damn wide cos i was in socks and they slipped outward a bit.

    The rest was what it was.

    Tuesday December 8th

    Smolov W1 D2

    Shoulder Warmup

    Bench
    20kg x20
    40kg x10
    60kg x5
    70kg x5

    85kg
    7x5

    Deads (sumo)
    40kg x10
    60kg x10
    80kg x5
    100kg x5

    120kg
    7x5

    Dips
    BW 3x12

    Grand. 85kg was tougher than i remember it being, i was able to bang out 6x6 not too long ago. Wouldn't be surprised if the bar was 22kg or something, it don't look like a regular oly bar. Rings in the wrong place and it's a dark grey... but for now i'm assuming i'm out of a groove.

    Sumos... I'm getting more speed off the floor than i ever did conventional.. weird. though as L pointed out i always deadlifted almost entirely with my back anyway so maybe that's something to do with it. I'm liking them, even only after 2 sessions...

    Sumos do pop up after the first couple of inches, you're not lifting close ot your max at the minute but when you do breaking off the ground will become harder.
