LOL nice pic

Awesome squats as usual, killing it on Smolov. Are you maxing next week?

I never got a line across my back, I just have rough patches on my rear delts. My wife says it looks like I had wings and cut them off lol.

Yup, planning to max next week.

I lack the flexibility to draw my delts back enough, so the bar sits quite squarely on my upper back

Sometimes you just have to do the creep man. I've caught so many girls either checking me out or suspiciously looking at me like "why the fuk is this skinny ******* recording himself" multiple times. I love it

Great sesh Ken!

Probably doesn't help when you are taking videos doing poses like this ...

What does being married have to do w/ crossfit in back round making me chuckle... where's your mind at buddy?

Lol I was just joking bro. I enjoy a good creeper vid just like the next guy

There's only one dude I have the hots for and he lives in NY ...

I got super excited for a second, then i remembered i no longer live in ny.... #dreamcrushed

[da2ricky]

heavy ass squats/shrugs on that last session, nice job! In for x-fit chick creeper videos :}

Damn, I thought you had one more week of the base cycle. Going for 455 to finish our race?

You probably can hit it now if you choose to

We'll see how the 400+ attempts feel first. Next week calls for two days of near max attempts so I'm interested in how the first day will go.

I'm pretty confident that if I skipped volume day, I could hit 455 next week. The question is, do I want to take a week off from progressing on intensity day just to try it. I really don't though. Hopefully you'll nail 455 and finish our race so I don't have to worry about it haha.

[howimliving]

i really missed the "togetherness" of this group while i was gone

[MakeGoBoom]

i already just won




pay no attention to the 30 lbs of mass i have on there, big lunch

You're worried about it ... Excellent

j/k I agree. No sense in disrupting your training for bragging rights over a somewhat arbitrary number. In fact, keep going with TM until you hit 455x3 on ID

What "togetherness"? dbone and Ben are fighting over me while jshaw and MGB want to beat me to a 455 squat

I also like how you're wearing glasses in this vid vs. your other ones

[BenW22]

For the record, I also want to beat you, but it's probably in a different way....




@MGB: wow, nice squat!

[jshaw5]

You got that all wrong, dbone and Ben are just fighting to see who's at the front of the train and who's the caboose, and I want you to squat 455 before I do so I don't have to waste a week of progress just to prove I can do it

You're a clever one

Morning

Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown:
105x8
120x8
135x8

Barbell Bench Press: (TM ID)
45x10
135x5
165x3
200x3
230x2
260x5 (vid)
... Elbows and shoulders are still sore and body is tired from squats, so 260 was heavy for lockouts. Speed off the chest was good

Pull-Up:
4x9


Night

Barbell Squat: (Smolov wk 5 day 3)
45x10
135x5
205x3
275x3
315x2
340x5x7 (vid of 3rd and 6th sets)


Notes
* Bench is still affected by Smolov as noted above. Next week should be better since the base cycle is done and Smolov enters a recovery phase.

* I was feeling a little tired going into the night squat session. I didn't get good sleep, and I had a long day on top of that. Still, the 340 work sets went off without a problem.

* Got one more Smolov base session to go on Friday. I'm ready to stop squatting 4x/week

Honestly don't know how you manage a day/night workout given the amount of weight you throw around.

Are you taking any sort of joint support supps?

[12ccopeland]

Great workout Ken

I'd rather do it all at one time if I could

For joint support, I'm taking Orange Triad right now.

Great workout Ken

Thanks bro!

You should try adding bulk Cissus (I use SNS) or iForce Joint Help. Also the Epharm Joint Spray is solid, seems to be helping my achy forearm/elbow.

Osteo-Sport FTW.

Joint Help wasn't bad either, but I prefer OS.
