Box squat: 110kgx2x12 (lol) BP: 3sec pause 92.5x3 x5 x3, 100x3 x5 x3, (legal pause)107.5x1 So I followed smolov spreadsheet and did 2x12 on box squats, no clue why tbh, just picked a weight that felt heavy and comfortable and did a double every 2 mins. Not sure I gained anything from it but it's supposed to be easy so its ok. Bench pressing was really exiting on the other hand, I think my technique is back, I benched 100x5 with 3 sec pauses with some gas in the tank left, and 107.5 felt realllllllllly light. I'm sure I'll be lifting at least 130 after 10 weeks of this program :d. Edit: Also lol @ eshlow giving accurate advice on how to pick up girls aswell. | ||

Haha lots of practice. We joke that since we've adapted our bodies to lifting in more difficult state that we are making ourselves even better than training not hungover :-p | ||

Didn't do calves today (I never do -__-), haven't done forearms in 3 weeks, and haven't done abs once yet. On the good side, new PR for OHDP. 4reps of 70lb @ 168lb bw today. Lucky you've got it set up so the exercises that "matter" are first, and still getting done. If you have to skip anything, abs calves and forearms are the way to go! Managed 4x6 with +15 lbs on chinups. Hard as hell; I think I'll try for 3x5 with 20 lbs next time, and then build my way up to 4x8 before I increase the weight any more. | ||

Lack of lower body exercises are killing me  Can't even front squat for another week at least. At least once the pain goes away, I can start doing front squats and cleans. I can feel that it's not that far away until I'm pain-free! Then I'll be happy even if I can't lift heavy  | ||

Poker, Starcraft, Nutrition, Exercise, this guy has got it all on LOCK. Why the fuck shouldn't this man have the girls falling all over him as well? Also, it's chinups. This man is a gymnast's coach and a gentleman, and makes his living with people who can do a ridiculous amount of chinups. His advice is guaran-fucking-TEED to be perfect in such a situation. | ||
