Next meet full? 2/23?

**Link815** · 12-30-2009, 06:15 PM

January 23. It's unsanctioned, so I'll probably not cut weight, and probably take relatively token squats and pulls because my back's still not 100%.

**dtaps24** · 12-30-2009, 06:23 PM

So you're running Smolov right up to it huh? Hope you kill it.

**Link815** · 12-30-2009, 06:45 PM

Smolov junior bench. We'll see how it goes, I've never tried anything like it before. Maybe it'll help me break a 400 competition bench.

**Link815** · 01-01-2010, 04:45 PM

Friday 1/1

Bench
8 sets of 4 @ 320

Circuit of leg curls, extensions, and oblique/lower back stuff x 3.

It's already apparent Smolov Jr is not going to be doable for banged up me as written, so I'm throwing a few extra rest days in. So I'll wait til Monday to do the 10x3 @ 340.

**Link815** · 01-04-2010, 03:05 PM

Monday 1/4

Bench
10 sets of 3 @ 340

Pretty tough, but I finished. Lots of reps. Lots. Wednesday is only 6x6 at 290! Yay rest!

**Link815** · 01-05-2010, 03:41 PM

Tuesday 1/5

Warm up on elliptical

Squat
3x135
3x185
3x225
3x275
3x315
2x365
1x385

Mobility stuff.

**Link815** · 01-06-2010, 10:47 AM

Wednesday 1/6

Bench
6x6 @ 290

Curls

Smolov JR is fun!

**Link815** · 01-08-2010, 04:07 PM

Friday 1/8

Bench
7 sets of 5 @ 310

So much volume.. I better hit 400 at the meet.

**TrettinR** · 01-08-2010, 04:10 PM

**Link815** · 01-08-2010, 04:59 PM

You should be negged for the Zelda reference. But I will already shame you by benching more soon.

But link is here to save the day! And he'll go down in history!

**Link815** · 01-11-2010, 03:14 PM

Monday 1/11

Bench
8 sets of 4 @ 330

Really surprised I finished, now that I'm back to school and have that super sucky bench. I love when I press the weight and almost fall off, then bring it back down and press it and almost fall off the other side.

**Link815** · 01-12-2010, 04:19 PM

Tuesday 1/12

Squat
3x185
3x225
3x275
3x315
1x365
1x405
1x425, probably a tad high
5x315

Hip/lower back mobility stuff

Feels better than last week, for sure. Also, started a 3000 calorie, 250g protein diet yesterday. 250.0 this morning.

**Link815** · 01-13-2010, 03:21 PM

Wednesday 1/13

Bench
10 sets of 3 @ 350

Probably the hardest bench workout I've ever done. 30 reps at 350. Wow..

**Link815** · 01-14-2010, 04:13 PM

Thursday 1/14

Bench
6 sets of 6 @ 295

10 minutes elliptical

249.0 morning weight.

**endymion88** · 01-14-2010, 04:33 PM

strong enough bench vs. lower body lifts lol?

**Link815** · 01-14-2010, 05:57 PM

Back problems

Your pec problems sure don't seem to hinder you...

**Link815** · 01-15-2010, 10:42 AM

If I tear my pec again I can still walk!

**Link815** · 01-15-2010, 04:55 PM

Friday 1/15

Squat
1x315
1x365
1x405, knee wraps
1x435, knee wraps

10 minutes elliptical

Trying to figure out my opener for next Saturday. Plus I've never used knee wraps before, and I can next weekend, so I figured I'd better get in a couple attempts with them on than try it for the first time at the meet.
