You need to make a cook book.[/QUOTE]Haha no prob, sir. I'm glad to help/
I have considered the cook book thing several times... I just need to commit and get it done.
[QUOTE=Reid456;977051763]And just when I thought you already used an insane amount of toppings.... I hear this.
And Smolov Jr..... you must be glad it's coming to an end soon.[/QUOTE]PB <3. I could eat that as my primary fat source and never tire of its rich, peanutty goodness lol.
I am, actually. It's a great program, but I'm getting tired of squatting ;)

[QUOTE=Bnizzle163;977012783]
I also wanted to explain something about my food pics... sometimes I don't include everything in the pic. For example, when making a protein cake or a loaf, I add just enough of the toppings to make it look pretty before I snap a pic. I usually have more toppings. I will show you what I mean in the 4th and 5th pics below.

Yes, I love PB too. Hell, I used to put it on chicken all the time. Unfortunately, non-primary source fats usually add up to my current 45g, lol. Starting to increase in the coming weeks though. I'm trying out your marble cake today. I'll let you know how it goes.

Exactly how you would expect it to, I guess. Lol, its not a crazy combination to me, but I guess it sounds crazy to others. The real winner though is PB/mustard/chicken stir fry combo. So good!

So as smolov jr wraps up, I must say, it has been a pretty cool experience. It was rough to say the least, but I'm happy with the fact that I got 2 sets of 275 for triples. I feel I could have gotten a third set had my set up been better. I can't complain though. I'll be deloading this week and squatting next sunday to see what's up with my max!

awesome sesh today. TONS of squats, I dig it. Interested to see how your 1 rep max has increased. what was it before? Also, how did you like the funfetti oats? make any additions/changes besides the obvious banana garnish?

Good job with the 275x3 squats! Some high volume squatting lol.

At this bodyweight, I believe 285x2 is my all time best. I was squatting 3 plates last offseason for sets of doubles and singles, but I was 190 then on my old scale, which would put me at 195 ish on the new scale. (I'm about 180 now)
So I rocked them with 60g. oats, 30g. funfetti mix, 30g. vanilla whey and almond milk. They were pretty nomnomnom

Hai guize!!
Just wanted to pop in and let you guys know I'm still alive. I've been doing a LOT of studying and very little lifting/cooking. I've been eating very boring, packaged stuff like pop tarts, granola bars, protein bars, shakes, etc. I'm getting back into the swing of things lifting wise tomorrow with a little squat sesh to see how that feels post-SJR :). And after talking to a few people, I've decided to run 5/3/1 BB until I pepper in another SJR cycle for squats. Time to get dem wheels!! Looking forward to posting an epic update soon.

Quest bars are not so boring, unless I'm at work with a client. I prefer them warmed in the micro. The new pb cups are legit though!

The way I understand it, is that you do one 5x10 accessory after your BBB sets. Also, I've got the ebook if you dont have it.

I may be wrong though lol. And yes, I have the ebook :)

Yep, well I keep the BBB sets a constant 50% but you can do 50-60% somewhere in that range. The weight seems light at first but after five sets its a little exhausting. I've got one more squat workout until I finish my first cycle (well, start the deload portion).

Well, I'm squatting over 300 again, which is good, although I really wanted 3 wheels :(. I am surprised that I didn't get it because 305 flew up. I can almost guarantee myself 3 wheels before I run smolov again, and then I'm gunning for 3 and a quarter :).
My camera is messed up, so I can't upload any pics at the moment. I promise I'll get on that as soon as I fix it.

This is weird, it's like everyone I know who ran SJR over the past month didn't get what they were expecting out of it. Maybe we should just stop lifting altogether :D
Don't get too mad Billy, you'll get it soon!
-
ahhhh, too bad you failed ure goal, but IMO you probably would have gotten it if u were fresh. I had a similar 1RM trial a few weeks ago, and by the time I got to 315 i had already done like 4 "heavy" singles so It was harder than it should have been (and It pinned me to the safeties...worst feeling ever). 305 is still no joke so GJDM. and 5/3/1 now? awesome, I love it so far.

Pumped to see you're going to start 5/3/1. I started it yesterday and am really interested to follow along essentially cycle by cycle with you.

I forgot how much I enjoy 5/3/1 training. It's simple and to the point. Despite barely doing any pressing movements for the past month, I rocked it out on sohp! I felt strong like bull.
