The Homestretch

My lats and chest are still sore from “Murph” but my legs weren’t sore at all from the 300 squats. Not really surprised with all of the squatting and squat holds I’ve been doing. Walked 18 holes of golf this morning for the first day of our golf season.

I had planned on getting the 3rd day of Smolov week 3 done today, but was debating it as the day went on. Finally decided to get it done so that I can go to SF for a class tomorrow morning. Went out to the garage around 6:30pm to do work. Squatting inside the squat rack has become a must with all of this volume.

Back Squats

  • 20×45#
  • 5×135#
  • 5×205#
  • 3×255#
  • 3×280#
  • 7x5x300#

Made it! Not even up to 70° today, but my shirt was soaked by the time I was done. I rested three minutes between the working sets. Did a 5:00 bottom squat hold leaning up against the jerk blocks right after. Glad I bucked up and knocked those squats out. Friday will be the final day!
