Member 4905, 74 posts SQ 162.5, BP 92.5, DL 210 465.0 kgs @ 66kgs UnEq	Well I became a really lazy bas*d and stopped updating this log so im going to start doing it again. Recently competed in YNE seniors at 66kg Lifts were; squat 142.5 (st) Bench 80 (s**tter) Dead 205 (not bad considering how the rest of the day was going) 205 was unofficially a british record. Unfortunately due to recent rule changes British records cant be broken in regional comps. However it was officially a YNE record for u20 u23 and senior. Basically the plan now is to not get fat again so that it isn't a huge shock when my belt doesnt fit. Im starting smolov squat routine all beltless now in preperation for next comp in june.

And I dropped around 8-9 kg to get to 66 so my belt pretty much went round me twice by the time it got to comp day. It really threw me off on squats, trying to push against something that wasnt there haha

Member 4905, 74 posts SQ 162.5, BP 92.5, DL 210 465.0 kgs @ 66kgs UnEq	Okay so after competing saturday I took a day off and jumped straight back to it with a bench session which was a terrible idea and im still suffering now. Paused flat db press 25kg dumbbells x5 3sets 3sec paused at bottom Super set with db pull overs 10kg 3x10 Paused narrow grip bench 3x5 50kg Super set with 3x10 bro curls 10kg dumbbells This session almost killed me after going out saturday night, ive never felt doms like it in my chest and arms before, will definitely be sticking with the paused db presses for a while.

Member 4905, 74 posts SQ 162.5, BP 92.5, DL 210 465.0 kgs @ 66kgs UnEq	Yesterday and today I started the intro phase of the smolov squat cycle. Based off of a 140kg max as im doing it all beltless with a much wider foot position. 90x8x3sets 100x5 105x2x2sets 112.5x1 I did this two days in a row, no real trouble, im just getting used to the wider squat stance. So far its helping me get out of the whole better and not rely on my back quite as much to not get pulled forward. looking forward to seeing how this develops as the programme gets going. Having a few hip flexor issues from it already though.

Member 4905, 74 posts SQ 162.5, BP 92.5, DL 210 465.0 kgs @ 66kgs UnEq	The third and final day of the smolov intro cycle. Today I felt like my hip flexors, glutes and hamstrings had been set in concrete but after about an hour of stretching and squatting with the bar I finally managed to hit depth. Which left me with 20 mins to do all 8sets. So... 100x5x4sets 105x3 112.5x2x2sets 125x1 All were no trouble really, other than having very tight hips. Im getting used to this much wider foot position and I think eventually it will benefit me in the long run. Looking forward to seeing what smolov will bring.

Im giving the ed coan deadlift programme a go, its the first time ive ever used someone elses set programme for deadlifts so itll be interesting to see what kind of results I can get from it,
