17 January

Hex DL – 5 x 6 x 100kg RPE 6.4
Chin Up Ladder (1,2,3,4,5) – 15, 12, 13 reps
Dips – 5 x 6 x 10kg
Circuit (5 burpees & 10 pressups, 10 rounds) – 9 mins 46 secs

Trying out more things, have a decent template for this six pack training but still testing. I didn’t like 5 x 8 but 5 x 6 is nice, and 30 total reps for an exercise is in the recommended range. The idea behind frequency press ups is to only do enough that you aren’t tired, and spread them across the day so there’s minimal fatigue. I’m not in the habit of them so i’ll have to tie them to an activity, like a set before preparing food or brushing my teeth, in order to remember to do 5-6 sets.

I’ll start the proper training on Feb 1st as that will mean the day after my “six week abs” will be my birthday.

24 December (Taper)

Bench Press – 4 x 85kg, 4 x 4 x 97.5kg
Back Squat – 4 x 100kg, 4 x 4 x 110kg

26 December (1RM Testing Day)

Back Squat – 10 x 60kg, 5 x 80kg, 5 x 100kg, 5 x 110kg
1 x 130kg
1 x 135kg
1 x 140kg
1 x 145kg
1 x 150kg (belt)
1 x 155kg (belt)

I didn’t try 150kg unbelted as I felt i’d probably injure myself, ditto 160kg belted.

Bench Press – 8 x 60kg, 8 x 80kg, 4 x 100kg
1 x 110kg
1 x 117.5kg
1 x 122.5kg
1 x 127.5kg
0 x 130kg

130kg may as well have been 300kg, I couldn’t even control the descent as it settled on the safety pins. Quite lucky to have chosen those weights as doing 125kg would probably have taken too much out of me.

9th set of squats on my last lower body day of Smolor Jr. Cumulative fatigue has definitely set in and I can't wait to rest and recuperate before testing my 1RM. This was 10 x 3 x 120kg, RPE 8.2. Based on my RPE this week a 10/10 effort would be around 143kg so with rest I hope to go higher. #smolovjrsquat #smolovjr #legday #squatday #strengthtraining
