Notes:
Since I had great success with Smolov Jr. I’m thinking of doing an experiment: I’ll be doing the program again but instead of 4 times per week I’ll do it 3 times a week so that I can maintain it longer without risking injuries and hopefully with similar results. We’ll see how it goes.
Gym was packed today because I went to train during the peak hour. Luckily I didn’t have to wait long for my stuff. I wanted to do some cardio as well but all the stationary bikes were occupied… Next time!
I remember my first time benching: I struggled pressing the empty bar for 2 reps or something lol. I thought that benching 170kg was unreal. Now I’m like “meh, its nothing special considering my bodyweight”… Check the vid below for some truly unreal benching.
