2016-11-23: Disappointing Smolov Jr results.

So, readers will remember that I've posted about doing Smolov Jr since this blog started.  Unfortuantely week 3 was botched due to doing a tour around Ireland (most certainly worth it!), meaning I was stuck with hotel gyms.

I redid week 3 last week (which doesn't have any support in the program), and did my 1RM PR attempt today.   Went for 135kg.  No lift.

Todays lifts

Bench Press

20x20kg
5x40kg
3x60kg
3x80kg
1x100kg
0x135kg (failed lift)

Very very disappointed.  I'll try another attempt at 1x132.5kg tomorrow, as there wasn't enough volume today to actually call it a workout.

Barbell Squat

5x20kg
5x40kg
3x60kg
3x80kg
3x100kg
1x120kg
1x140kg
1x147.5kg

Just some easy lifts today

Barbell row

5x32.5kg
5x72.5kg
5x5x92.5kg PR

Reason for the weird weights is simply that my wife is at 32.5kg, and I warmed up with that.  Then added 20 on each side, then another 10 on each side. :)

My rows are breaking down form wise.  While I call this a PR is a PR with very very poor form.  I think I'll probably drop to 90kg and do that for a few weeks before getting back to 92.5kg

Wife's lifts

Bench Press

5x20kg
5x5x27.5kg
