New to the site, thought I would start posting my log here. Any advice would be great.

None of my lifts are great but my back squat compared with deadlift is shocking so I am just over half way through a Smolov base cycle. I have 5 more sessions before I try for a 1RM. Not sure what my 1RM was so I plugged for 140Kg to calculate the loads for cycle.

I have never done a 1RM on the squat so I’m really not sure what to aim for. Looking forward to not having to squat 4 times a week!


General stats/ PB’s:

Body Weight: 77Kg’s (ish)
Bench 1RM: 110Kg touch and go
Squat: Approx 140Kg
Deadlift: 200Kg
Overhead press: 62.5Kg for 8 reps (72.5Kg for 1)
Weighted pull up 1RM: 43.75Kg
8 Consecutive ring muscle ups
100Kg hang clean
105Kg C&J
73Kg Snatch


Last session:

Sunday 28 November

Back Squat: 122.5Kg, 5 reps 7 sets

Was in a rush so cut down my rest time on the last three sets, felt surprisingly ok. Weight felt good as well, managed to catch a good bounce at the bottom fairly consistently and was trying to keep my chest tall.

Monday 6 December

Back squat: 132.5Kg

3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2

Losing chest a little as the session went on. Coming out of the hole on the last rep of the last set of the last session of the program and I pulled a muscle and had to dump the bar in front (I was in a power rack so it wasn’t too bad). Gutted.

Left quad on the lateral side/ IT band sore but its mostly towards the knee where it hurt but it doesn’t feel like I have done anything to the joint capsule.

RICE’d it last night, taking the fish oil, iced it this morning and compressed it today (will ice later). Not that painful at all today.

Any other advice with dealing with this type of thing would be really appreciated.

Cheers mate, just hope i can start squatting heavier soon...


Tuesday 14 December

Push Press, 72.5Kg: 5-5-5
Bar Dips: 12 (U) - 12 (U) - 12 (B) – 12 (Broken)
Power Clean: 50Kg, 3 - 60Kg, 3 – 70Kg, 3,3 – 80Kg, 3-2
Log Clean: Log = 62.5Kg (I think) 5 - 5 - 72.5Kg, 3 – 82.5Kg, 3 – 4

Happy with doing something other than squatting! Have lost a lot on dips. Did too many power cleans at the lighter weights. No bother from the quad.

First time using the log so was just playing around with it. At first was trying to clean it almost like a hang barbell clean. Needs more work but enjoyed it!

with these sort of reps i would guesse that your squat will be closer to 160 than 140. Happy

Yeah, I was supposed to have tested my 1RM last week but got injured.

I was looking to get 160 – 165Kg.

Saturday 18 December

Deadlifts, 170Kg: 5-5-10
Axle clean tekkers: worked up to several singles with 85Kg
Log press: Got 82.5Kg overhead a couple of times. worked more with 62.5Kg Log
Zercher carries with yoke, 150Kg: 60m total, stopped 4 times

More there with the deadlift AMRAP.
First time cleaning the axle, after some pointers it worked well.
Need more practice with getting the log overhead. Think split jerk balances might be the way forward.
Zercher carries were fookin minging!!!

Good sesh!

Tuesday 21 December

Log GTOH: 3x3 62.5Kg then worked up to a 1rep PB of 87.5Kg
Log Clean: worked up to a 1 rep PB of 92.5 Kg. 97.5 Kg (F)
Bar Dips: 12 (U) – 12 (Unbroken) – 12 (B) – 12 (Broken)

First full session on the log so still have not got my head around the technique. I wanted to push jerk it over head but couldn’t manage to dip under the log for some reason. Feels odd.

Thought I would have been good for 100Kg clean.

Dips were with fewer breaks than last time.
