OK, im getting an early start... but im going to actually stick to some tried programs this time...
i said some...
im doing smolov squat cycle, coan/phillipi deadlift cycle and the coan bench cycle...
ive trained a lot of volume with heavy weights before... not sure if this is stupid, but im giving it a try... to avoid overtraining i will be ditching all the accessory work on the deadlift cycle, and most for the bench cycle... smolov has no accessory work so it will remain intact...
my current pr's are 505 dead, 225 paused bench and 402 squat with only a belt...
my goals are a 545 deadlift, 250 bench and a 450 squat... if i have to do this 3 times to get those numbers i will be happy...
i will be eating enough to grow some, but i would like to be able to cut water to make 148 so i can attempt these lifts in competition, so i will probably try and keep my bodyweight near 160-165... currently 155 @5'5"...
monday... 12/13
squats
warmup, 135x5, 185x3, 225x3, 275x1
work, 4x9x285 made all lifts, last set moderately difficult
bench
warmup, 45x8, 95x3, 135x1
work, 2x10x160 made all reps, last few tough
cgbp, goal 2x10x140 only got 7, and 5 reps...
incline, goal 2x10x130... did 2x10x120 because of difficulty with last exersise...
later this day i felt like i had the flu, next day too... if my next bench workouts go ok, then i will blame it on that and keep going...
