The Smolov (Jr) Experience - Part 1
So I've spent the best part of the last 5 weeks squatting in the new Metal Pro Squatter. Absolutely loving it! As all I can do is squat I've just started a 3 week Smolov Jr cycle. I hit a raw max of 185kg on the SSB last week so using that for the percentages. I'm using wide stance box squats to get a better carry over to my geared squat. Plan is to squat Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and eat like a horse on the off days. Weighed in at 110.6 yesterday morning. Will keep track of that as often as I can.
Today went as follows:
SSB Box Squats
Bar x 10
60kg x 6
80kg x 6 - Added Loose belt after
100kg x 6
115kg x 6 - Tightened belt after
130kg (70%) x 6 x 6
All the work sets went reasonably well. First 4 I managed to get in doubles but the 5th and 6th sets had me taking a few deep breaths between reps. Had an incredible lower back pump by the time I finished. Did a fair bit of foam rolling between sets and alot more after I was done. Also did alot of stretching post session to aid recovery.
Looking forward to Wednesday's 7x5@75%!!
