Smash Fuarking Weight

Caught a bad flu on Tuesday and I lost a lot of weight and have been feeling really weak and tired since then. Will start training again on Monday.

I have been belting up for all 5x5 work sets for a few months now. No belt tonight and my back is throbbing. Gained back some weight after being sick.

I also did beltless squats today, and my back was dead from it. 4x5 and 1x1 was brutal despite the lower weight...

I also had a flu for two weeks. Feels bad man.

Yeah, it sucks. These 5x5 squats were 30 lbs lighter than last weeks 5x5 squats, but felt so much heavier with no energy.

Same as me. I was doing (315x5)x5 on Smolov and almost failed the fifth rep of my last set of 275x5 yesterday, heh. We'll get it back though!

Added in dips because they helped increase my bench press last year. Other half of the volume workout will still be bench press/chin-ups.

Subbed. Just looked at the beginning and end of the journal. Awesome gains!

I guess that's part of the experiment. I will be adding weight to dips next week and once that accumulates along with getting back to 5x5x190 on bench press I will be able to tell how it is affected. I think it will be fine. If not, I could switch the order of volume workouts.

First intensity workout in over a month. Deadlift felt pretty heavy, but I guess that's what happens when I ignore it for a month.

Only 45 minutes to get all of that in?

Must have been efficient with warmups and getting equipment

**demike** · 01-30-2011, 07:36 PM

Solid chinups, good work man!

**JiP** · 01-31-2011, 01:29 AM

Nice job CJ, wrist fine now?

Used the same rack for squat and bench press and the only time I rest during warm ups is when I'm changing the plates.

damn son I remember when you were doing sets with 190 for your squats. Looks like you've gained quite a bit of weight, too. I'm impressed! Great job CJ. Keep it up.

Probably the longest person I've kept tabs on is you CJ. Aside from a few others you've always followed my schtuff so for you I did the same. I remember you always redoing cycles and starting at 95lbs lol.

Great work. You're in college now right?

Thanks, dudes. It's been awhile since I've seen both of you around. Mostly Chris. My strongest stuff was in December and I did reach 181 lbs at one point but recently went back down.
