Thanks again guys!

Still training, but nothing too special to write about really. My back's keeping me from training as explosively as I'd like though.

Since it's fun, I decided to run Smolov Jr again. This time it's Incline Bench and BB Curl - trying something here. Plus my spaghetti arms could use a boost. Here's the workout from last night

Smolov Jr - Week 1, Workout 1

Incline Bench

8 sets of 6 - 255lbs

BB Curl

8 sets of 6 - 115lbs

Grow time???? Please???

Very impressive results with that first run of Smolov jr

Are you still training any other muscle groups while running this program?

I like the idea of it and I suppose doing two big compound lifts would give you a great full body WO.

**MoEcho** · 01-21-2015, 08:44 AM

*wave* I am here Rob! E-stalking for the win!!

I'm too busy lifting heavy shi* to bother typing about it!

Well, that's my lame excuse anyway.

Thanks. In between the Smolov workouts I do work the other muscles. Right now since the focus is chest and biceps, on alternate days I throw in back, shoulders and legs.

Hey Bob, I appreciate the compliment, but there are many others in this section that exemplify consistency - you being one of them.

The mirror and me are not friends. Not looking good at all these days. I can't even will myself to take pictures right now....don't want to see the mess....

Thank, but I'm pretty sure my self loathing is justified. In this latest bulk my attempt to gain muscle has been an utter failure. I gained approximately 30lbs of body mass and unfortunately all but 2lbs has been water and fat. Once I cut back to my original BF %'age I doubt there will be any visual change in my physique. I'm just not that strong of a BBer...FML!

Anyways, I missed a bunch of posts. Finished up the Smolov Jr cycle last week. Not sure what to do with myself now.

Take a deload and then decide.

I have unintentionally been doing this in that I've changed my training routine. Lately I've focused on lower loads, higher volume and different forms of cardio.

I guess I need to ride out this low period until I get my normal drive back.

Here's a typical Canadian dilemma...not being able to go to the gym because your car won't turn over in -40 degree weather. One reason I don't like the winter....
