Squats
45x5
95x5
135x5
185x5
225x3
275x4x5
The first set was balls out difficult and had me wondering if this was the start of me burning out. I think it was mental though, as the second set was easier and the third went up like butter. I guess its because this was 40 pounds less then what I did for 5 three days ago, so you think it would be kind of easy, but no.
Wide Stance Box Squats
200x10
Pretty easy, and only 5 pounds less than the weight I felt it best to stop progressing sets of 10 on last cycle. Bodes well.
Bench Press - TnG
45x15
95x5
115x5
135x5
175x5x5
BB Row
135x5
190x3x5
Fat Gripz DL
190x3x3
Pretty hard.
-------------------------------------------
I did some calender consulting and I don't think I'll be attending the battle of montreal. Its too close to eastern canadians to do a smolov cycle, and I don't feel like attending a meet just to put up a 20-40 pound improvement at my level of development. I'll probably wait until mid summer or early fall 2012 and go for a 500 pound raw squat in a meet. I think I can do it if I stay consistent. A full smolov cycle will be necessary too.
