I forgot to ask, why are you using mixed grip if you're using versa gripps?

LOL
I'm so used to mixed grip that I'm more comfortable (and feel stronger) pulling mixed, even with the versa gripps on. Probably something in my setup that leads to this, but I haven't bothered to figure it out
It would be weird to fap double-overhand, no?
Thanks bro! Gotta catch up to you on bench now## chillin at home crew

395x2 PR (vid)
... Surprisingly, I'd never done anything higher than 385 for two or more reps, so this is a 2-rep PR
Notes
* I had some stuff come up at work on Thursday that just pissed me off the whole day. Instead of going for speed squats per Smolov, I wanted to hit a few heavy reps instead to get my aggression out. Stopped at 2 reps on 395 because I wasn't trying to max out on reps.
* I've decided to skip the second week of the Smolov switching cycle and go right into the intense cycle starting on Sunday. I'll be using 435 as my training max - 10 lbs off my 1RM set last week.
* The intense cycle is certainly ... intense Sunday's workout looks like this:
285x3
325x4
370x4x3
370x5
... video will be up later in the morning. contains gratuitous shots of my glutes

Thanks bros! I should start preparing for ice baths soon lol
Also, now I'll have a legitimate reason to visit those Asian massage parlors
Thanks Anthony! Felt good to hit a couple of heavy squats.
Thanks Boom. I only recognize my own rep prs
Thanks man, you'll get 5 next time!
I didn't want to sit around for another week before hitting heavy squats again lol

lovin' that view from behind (srsnohomo). i'm digging the wider stance more and more. it feels like i'm doing a shallow squat but because of shortened ROM i'm hitting depth. win-win! has helped me majorly with keeping upright, too, instead of being a master goodmorninger

Notes
* Did this Saturday night instead of Sunday morning. It'd been less than 72 hours since I last benched, but I needed to get some aggression out.
* +5 on volume weight from last week because 245 was a little easy. I'll stick with 250 and try to push ID weight up once my cold is gone.

Sorry guys, been out all day. Just getting to these. Right after this, I'm off to do the first Smolov intense session
Thanks man. Wasn't too bad except that my triceps got tired at the end
Thanks Woody! 250 seems to be a good bench volume day for me. Hope it leads to some gains
Haha I'm glad someone likes the music selection Thanks moshvr!
Yeah, I switched over to doing Texas Method for my bench programming. Thought it was a good pairing with Smolov for squats.
Thanks guys! Was happy that I was still able to bench decent weight despite benching on Thursday already## chillin at home crew
