PR every set lol.

So for absolutely no reason my shoulders start hurting before the workout and my left elbow starts feeling like it's getting ripped apart from the inside lol. So I used a knee wrap for my elbow. 120kg felt light as **** the first 2 sets so I decided to take it off for the third to make sure that it wasn't helping me. It felt fine, so I continued Benching with it on. By the 8th set my elbow wasn't hurting much so I took it off for the final 2 sets. It's crazy, but on the first set I felt like I had 5 reps in me.

I filmed the second set.

I am going to put money on 135kg 1 rep max at this stage, gjdm.

I felt like I had maybe 5 reps on m first set, that would put me at 132.5kg in my book, 135kg on a great day. Let's hope that the day I max out turns out to be a great day haha!

I want youR arch

Thanks haha! I've never done anything to try to improve it.

[Little_Moth]

I tried maxing out yesterday and after a slow and painful 120kg I decided to stop. Instead of waiting a few more days to max out I've decided to just continue training and max out another day. Maybe once everything has healed properly after Smolov.

Bench Press - 5/3/1 - Cycle 6 - Week 1
80kg (176lbs) x 5
92.5g (204lbs) x 5

[Xuaxace]

Uff I was scared to open this thread.

105x11 it is a sign of things to come though. All the best for when you max.



My first entry of my log was on smolov 120x9x4, man it was pretty hard to do high reps after never doing low reps.

The high reps are brutal lol! My friend hit 142.5kg after Smolov a couple days ago, mother****er!

[BulkingForever]

He didn't do 105x11....

[shaneaunt]

Or did he? I cant tell

[Teenwolf2]

Yes he did, and what a beast!

Sorry I haven't been here in a while moth, from smolov bench to smolov squat, my god you're a beggar for punishment. 160kgx5 squat is big despite what you may think lol, you probably have it for 8 on a good day though.

Sux about your elbow too

[Little_Moth]

soooooooo close to 140kg bench man!!

Doesn't feel lie it lol! But I guess I'm not far off, a few good months of 5/3/1 or another Smolov cycle should do it I think.

I think Smolov for Squats will help me from getting too ****ing fat right now lol. And yeah, that's why I was disappointed about getting 5 reps with 160kg, because on a good day I should have 7-8 I think. That's the one thing I don't like about 5/3/1, there's only 1 working set and if you **** it up you have to wait a week before you can try again lol.

[joshuadelapenha]

This looks sicck! I am confused, what the **** is your routine like????

5/3/1
Smolov or Smolov Jr for bench?
and 5/3/1???

[Little_Moth]

Smolov or Smolov Jr for bench?

I'm not doing any routine really. I just finished Smolov Jr. (Bench) and while I was doing that I ran 5/3/1 for Squats. Now I started Smolov for Squats and while I'm doing that I'm gonna be running 5/3/1 for Bench and Overhead Press.
