Want to increase my bench and don't want to commit myself to a 13 week program. | ||

It's the same weight as smolov Jr but the reps/sets are a little different, e.g. monday is 4x9 on Smolov where as Smolov Jr is 6x6, but both use the same percentage of 1rm. | ||

Hm, do you know the reasoning behind using the base mesocycle instead of smolov jr? Should I switch up my reps? | ||

left hand - 1-0-0 seated press 155 - 6-6-6 pull ups 5-5-5 @ 270 I would compete at Ontario StrongMan this year but my pressing is so shitty really needs some serious work, I can get push press 225-5 but can't get 230-1. And my log press is even worse 207-5 and opening max log press for OSM is 300 LOOL. My training partner can circus DB 200lbs and push press 370 so with his help I`m hoping for some big improvements for next year | ||

Started off by failing my 5th set of OHP at 40kg, had to move down to 37.5 to finish it off. I guess this isn't so bad since it is an improvement from my last workout (5x5 at 37.5kg) but still I really wanted to get 40 today. Then I failed my last rep of deadlift at 105kg, which I was able to complete last week. I think it was mainly due to my grip giving out. Any advice on exercises I can incorporate to improve my grip? On the bright side, my squat was fine, and I did an extended ab workout at the end because I felt like I hadn't accomplished anything today. Oh well, just have to hit it hard next time. | ||
