ok guys, im going to jump ship on the smolov and other routines... i PROMISE i will do smolov later this year when i run another cycle, and when ALL i am doing are squats... but with this body transformation contest going, i cant be training solely as a powerlifter, and there are only so many hours i can spend in the gym...
i will be training by instinct like i have in the past...
more front squats, because they make my quads look better...
more deadlift reps with 400+....
less back squats will be what i mainly take away... i have learned a lot from these programs and will implement what i can... but because of the sponsorship and the prize money, i have to change my goals for the moment, and that will mean i have to sacrifice a lot of time into this...
it is becoming a full time job eating, training and logging this event...
i feel sad to have to bail on the smolov, but like others reccomended before i will get better results from it if ran alone, and i will do that later this year... hopefully after the memorial day weekend event in venice beach im planning on...
anyways... i will also be doing fasted cardio in the am per needto... so that should be miserable!!
