    Day 63, Clear Muscle

    I've read a lot of reviews on CM, and some people said they didn't feel anything different, or that the increases they saw came from the training (That's proven wrong with a placebo group which was used in the study, the CM group really surpassed the placebo group during the overreaching phase when the placebo group was just unable to recover as well.) Anyhow, I have had a couple decent bouts of DOMS during my log of CM and with the most recent ones I have to conclude that CM can't quite do it's magic if you're not getting enough sleep. Perhaps the people claiming to be non responders only sleep 6-7 hours a night? If I get 8 hours I feel like a champ with CM. Sleep should be a pretty big priority but sometimes the days just aren't long enough!

    thanks for the thoughts on sleep and CM recovery. Interesting I personally never noticed that

    That is interesting. I haven't really noticed that either. I guess it really just depends on the person.

    Huh, well to further comment on it, I might've exaggerated a little, DOMS still very reduced but I feel like my recovery is terrible when I don't get enough sleep(Without CM). I wouldn't expect CM to completely negate poor sleeping habits. You fellas never get muscle soreness while using CM?

    Day 65

    Treadmill, 100 calories jogging
    Squats
    170x3
    195x3

    Leaned out a little, Maybe back to 197 after touching on 200 about a week ago. I have increased my intensity in the gym, adding more supersets back in. Ideally I'll be able to maintain the weight that is called for on the benching. Everything beyond this week is PR territory again. Cut back on food during the day, big meals around my workouts, pre and post.

    Day 66 forgot to update this yesturday

    stairmaster 5 min

    Bench, Should've warmed up better or somethin. Squatting usually stretches out the chest pretty good but no squats today.
    185x3
    185x3
    185x3
    185x3
    135x5

    Right from the start it felt weird, like a lot more stress on my chest instead of triceps. Feels like a minor pull on my right pec. Gonna eat up, rest up, see how it goes on Monday. I feel this is probably related to dropping two pounds this week. Cut it short at 4 sets instead of 10.

    The good news
    Deadlifts
    225x5
    315x3
    365x3
    365x5sumo
    405x3
    405x3
    405x4sumo
    315x8
    315x8 2plate deficit

    Deads are probably slightly better or atleast on par with where they were 11 weeks ago. No loss in strength there!

    DB shoulder press standing
    35x10
    50x10
    60x7 that might be a PR
    65x5 seated

    lateral raise
    25x14
    20x15
    20x15

    Triceps - pushing from behind the pullover machine
    200x15
    200x15
    200x12

    Tricep cables rope attachment
    100x14
    100x12
    100x12--->70x8



    Day 67

    Cycling 20 min

    Haven't deadlifted in 11 weeks about. Full back DOMS(5/10 on soreness, not enough to be painful but just a nice reminder that I deadlifted yesturday), wow deadlifts hit everything Feels great.

    Day 71 CM

    Just been killin it lately.

    Stairmaster 5 min
    squats

    185x3
    225x3
    245x3
    245x3
    245x3
    245x3
    225x5
    Had a form check during the 245's and the guy who initially gave me some squat tips said it looked a million times better. If anything to try and tighten up my core. That means a lot to me, even if my squatting weight hasn't gone up 100 pounds like some who run this program, going from a 2 cent squat to a real squat is all that matters. With proper form I can work up the weight and for once not have to drop weight and practice form, like I did at the beginning of this program.

    Supersets

    A1 Bench
    170x5
    170x5
    170x5
    170x5
    170x5
    170x5
    170x5 No sweat =) Hope the next two sessions go just as well!
    I believe I mentioned everything this week on the benching front would be a rep PR

    A2 Romanian Deadlift
    135x12
    185x12
    185x10
    185x10
    185x10

    B1 BB curl
    45x15
    65x12
    65x10
    65x10

    B2 Dips
    16
    15 speed 3 negatives
    18

    C1 DB hammer curl
    40x7
    45x8

    C2 iso chest press
    45/side x 8
    45/side x8
    45/side x8

    C3 seated calf raise
    80x30
    125x10
    125x10
    125x10

    Recovery is just....outstanding with CM. Benching and squatting this frequently is great.

    Day 73 CM!

    Begun tapering back the squats.
    Stairmaster 5 min

    squats
    195x3
    235x4 video'd
    215x4
    215x4
    195x4 short pause
    135x8 (one and a quarter squats for this set)

    Supersets

    A1 Bench wide grip
    180x4
    180x4
    180x4
    180x4
    180x4
    180x4
    180x4
    180x4 These were damned heavy all the way sets 1 through 8. The final set was probably the best actually.
    Eating like a horse tonight so I can hopefully hit the 190's tomorrow.

    A2 Lunges
    45x40
    80x26
    130x10
    80x20

    A2 Seated calf raise
    100x20
    145x12
    170x10
    170x10
    170x10
    Not sure what the heck happened to my calves but this is extremely decent. I couldn't do 3 plates before this log.

    couple lateral raises and pushups

    Felt pretty spent after the benching, I just want to take the evening to recover as best I can.



    Tonight's top set. I like it! critiques welcome.

    Day 74!


    So, remember that time you did your almost 3 month old 1RM for 32 reps? Yeah it's never happened to me either until today.

    Stairmaster 5 min

    Bench
    190x3
    190x3
    190x3
    190x3
    190x3
    190x3
    190x3
    190x3
    190x3
    190x5
    Unbelievable. I was so happy when that first set wasn't too overwhelming. Pulled my feet in a little tighter and it felt really sturdy. I have been doing a powerlifter style bench this entire program. I find it very interesting that I would ALWAYS get leg cramps while benching with a pretty passive benching setup, since starting this program and a powerlifter setup, despite having much more leg involvement I have not had a single cramp.

    Supersets
    Meadows rows
    +45x8
    +45x10
    +45x12
    +45x12

    T bar shoulder press

    +45x8
    +45x9
    +45x9

    Standing DB shoulder press
    55x8

    One arm DB row
    80x15
    105x10
    120x7

    Face pull
    100x12
    100x12
    100x12

    Tricep cable rope attachment
    100x15
    100x14
    90x10--->60x10

    Ab wheel kneeling
    15
    8 slow
    12

    Weighed in at 200.5 pounds today.
    I think that about sums it all up. Not sore at all from yesterdays workout!

    Day 81

    a.m. cycling easy 15 min

    PM
    Treadmill incline 10 min
    Bench Press, Chest was sore enough from yesterday that I honestly debated postponing this workout 'till Sunday.
    135x8 finally throwing these around like nothing, can't wait till 225 feels like that.
    155x5
    185x4
    195x3

    195x3
    195x3
    195x3
    195x3
    195x3 For real though. That's a huge PRx10, can not wait to crush a new 1RM

    Smith machine (ew) shoulder press (I know I know...just figured stabilizers were pretty toasted at this point)
    95x10
    115x10
    115x12

    Extremely impressed with the bench press strength gains despite starting to watch what I eat a lot more closely, I'm certain I'm eating less than before I started watching macros again, not to mention cutting rest times and adding a bit of cardio. As I shift into a caloric deficit let's hope CM allows me to continue progressing!

    So I went swimming with friends after my last update.

    Phone and Wallet were stolen that night, was up till 3-4 am and didn't get the greatest sleep.
    Wasn't super optimistic about today, thought it might be a write off, which would be extremely upsetting as this is the final squat day of Smolov.
    Got some music playing on a busted phone (black screen), sadly without my regular phone I did not get any footage of today, Here's how it went

    bodyweight lunges
    box jumps

    Squats (Still rockin the high bar)
    135x8
    185x5
    225x3
    245x1
    265x1
    285x1
    295x1
    275x3 belt&wraps
    315x1 belt&wraps
    275x7 belt&wraps
    225x5

    So, I'm really happy with how today went considering all things. I didn't even fold over and good morning the 295, I probably could've pushed it a bit more but I wanted to play around with wraps and a belt. These are all great PR's for high bar, my best low bar (oh 15 months ago?) was belted, 315x3, probably not to depth, at 220 pounds. Current Weight 200.5, was 202 about a week ago.

    Leg extension
    20x50
    100x15
    110x12

    Seated calf press
    45x30
    115x20
    115x20

    Standing calf machine
    130x18
    210x6
    180x10

    Kneeling leg curl... cybex

    40x15
    50x15
    50x12

    Walking treadmill incline 15 min

    Only a day left of CM , but I'm going to continue to the log for a bit I have more arriving in a couple days and plan to cut on it with my own programming!

    Looks like you still had a good workout under less than optimal conditions. Bummer about your phone and wallet getting stolen. Thanks for purchasing some more. I will still continue to follow. A day or two without depending on when you get it isn't an issue because it will still be built up in your system.

    Oh Yeah, Felt great to be under the bar at 315 again and reppin 275. Would be better if it was without wraps/belt, but It's comin. If I can just keep on building now instead of deloading for form I'll finally be on the right track to a respectable squat.

    I'm designing my upcoming program..well as an improved version of what I was doing prior to Smolov. A 2x/week with a heavy day and a hypertrophy day for each bodypart. Might try to incorporate a third day for front squats. So some principles of PHAT just modified to be mainly compounds and supersets with a focus on progressive overload. Unless somebody knows of a similar 2x/week training program. Would be easier maybe on an 8 day cycle, 3 lifting 1 rest 3 lifting 1 rest etc, but i'll probably play a bit of soccer again (outdoor this time, more sprinting!) on Sundays for oh 6 weeks.

    Couldn't be happier about it! Thanks!!



    SMOLOV thoughts

    Smolov is quite the squatting program. Did I follow it to a T? No, I performed exercises in addition to Smolov, and I continued to train every bodypart, I did mostly stay away from deadlifts minus two sessions. If my opinion on Smolov for an early intermediate lifter is still valued, read on!

    I increased my squatting frequency to 2x a week for the 6 weeks leading up to Smolov. Purchased lifting shoes, 3/4" heel began squatting High bar (olympic style squat).
    I would agree it would be MUCH better to go into Smolov with perfect squat form, my main goal with Smolov was to improve my squat technique with the added frequency. I had some form coaching along the way and found some great resources(videos)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2b8UdqmlFs Layne Norton (2015)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibH_...ryViJ39sH1f11g Chris Duffin, powerlifting style though
    I had a 225x3 high bar squat and a 315x1 low bar, I chose 265 as my 1rm working weight for high bar which was probably a little on the high side.
    The base mesocycle was very taxing as I adjusted to doubling my squatting frequency, the hardest part for me was the Saturday session 10x3 following Fridays 7x5 mostly due to bruising. Probably not an issue for most if your form is proper. I was a fairly lean 190 and don't have monstrous traps (yet).
    Very important - warm up every session, I'd start on the stairmaster, do some leg swings, box jumps(sometimes) and a few sets of goblet squats & always working my way up to the working sets. This combined with a surplus in calories and proper sleep kept me from ANY squat related injuries. Not bad for someone who was squatting once a week 6 weeks prior.

    I completed the base mesocycle and achieved a 275x1 (ugly) 1rm, so I kept the subsequent part of the program based off a 265 1rm as you're supposed to use 90%. Which again tells me I chose a weight that was too high to start with, or should have maybe pushed the envelope in the latter phases. Regardless, the switching phase was easy, speed work. Something my squats are sorely lacking. The "intense" phase was also easy in comparison to the base mesocycle because A, I did not increase my working 1rm by 40 pounds as is typical with Smolov, B I didn't have to squat two days in a row on bruised traps/neck. (Call me what you want, I would've rather done the base 3x over if it meant a better squatting outcome!! But I wanted to run the program through its entirety)
    I didn't feel like I got much out of the switching phase, but I did pull off a pretty great final squat workout:
    225x3
    245x1
    265x1
    285x1
    295x1
    275x3 belt&wraps
    315x1 belt&wraps
    275x7 belt&wraps
    The 295 was clean, much much better than the 275 at the end of the base mesocycle.

    To wrap it up, warm up well. Actually test your 1rm and be very particular with the weights you use for the program. I do agree that Smolov is much better suited for a lifter with a 400+ pound squat, I believe at that point there are outstanding benefits of squatting with this frequency. It should send your metabolism through the roof, boost up your testosterone, you name it. Oh yeah, and get you an even bigger squat. I did not feel over trained or run down.



    My bigger success was with Smolov Jr. benching.
    Smolov Jr is very similar to the Smolov base mesocycle with slightly different rep ranges and runs for four weeks, which I did 3x over. I made the mistake of starting Smolov and doing 1 week of the intro cycle the same time I started Smolov Jr. I ended up extending Smolov Jr. to 5 weeks so my Base cycle of Smolov squats and my Smolov Jr would have their 1RM testing in the same week effectively allowing a bit of a deload week. (Which was needed by that point)

    I quite liked benching after the squats, always felt good and warmed up, chest stretched out. Back was able to stick to the bench a bit.
    Somewhere into the first cycle I started alternating between a standard grip and a wide grip each chest day, I found this worked better for me in terms of progression, and not totally beating a certain muscle group into the ground.
    I started with a 170x3 Bench and just today am very proud to say I hit 235x1! I hardly knew it was possible to gain roughly 50 pounds on your 1rm in a short 13 weeks.
    Again I set the weight high(er) than the recommended 90% and it paid off big time here. I'm not saying that's best for you, I struggled with some sets and even ended one workout on my 3rd of 10 sets with a minor tear, but being diligent with recovery (and stopping before I did any further damage despite my ego) it all worked out.

    I've learned tons about training through reading articles and forums over the course of Smolov and much of my programming up until now didn't really have Planned progressive overload or adequate frequency on compound lifts. Nutrition might not be the 90% for everybody. Just training to failure and then some isn't good enough for me. You absolutely have to come back stronger most workouts. Train smarter.
    Smolov and Smolov Jr helped teach me that.
    The muscle groups I had on maintenance pretty much did just that. Deadlifts are relatively the same as is OHP as when I began the program. Dips fell off a bit (though I am up 11-12 pounds)
    I think Smolov and Smolov Jr can work for an early intermediate lifter, but you should seriously consider if your program has proper progressive overload, if you are hitting the compound movements enough, I'm going to carry on with 2-3x a week. If your nutrition is in check. For those at higher levels who feel they could benefit from the added frequency, I think it could be a fantastic program to blow past some plateau's.

    Smolov is also VERY specified training. It's intended to bring up the one lift you choose (or two in my case) and can be very effective at doing so. I did not mind putting deadlifts on hold with previous max's at 220lb's being
    495x3 deadlift
    315x3 squat
    90x4 DB incline (Don't recall ever flat benching over 185)
    Of course I lost a LOT of that dieting down to 187 for a physique show, so much so that I think cyclical bulking or slowww bulking will be my approach from now on.

    As always, throw me some questions! So many lurkers :P

    Awesome, Bench or Squats? That's one hell of a benefit of increased frequency if you're pretty much free of DOMS, I'm probably not the ideal candidate for excellent recovery just because of some former relationship stuff that still really gets to me now and again. I was somewhat sane before girls, Oh well :P. Though I can attest to having some nasty DOMS after deadlifts that would've normally hung around for 3 days but with CM they were gone after 1. Deadlifts because the frequency of them was next to none. Speaking of which!
