And to clarify, I am doing the smolov progression with back squats.
Day 1:
Cwod:
OTM X Failure
1 deadlift
5 hspus
*add 1 deadlift every minute
exit work:
300 dus
Smolov:
3x8 955x1 100
2x2 110
1x1 115
Results: Cwod 8 of 9 deadlifts on round 9
Thoughts: Cwod sucked. My lower back was not having it today (another reason i should squat more). Smolov felt very solid. Nervous about where the bar should go. I think I'm sticking with high bar even though my monkey traps kind of get in the way.
Day 2:
Strength
OTMx 12
2 Full snatches (75 - 85%)
Cwod
10 min amrap
5 snatches (75)
10 pullups
20 sit-ups
Smolov:
3x8 95
5x1 100
2x2 110
1x1 115
Results: 75 on strength, 5+1 on cwod
Thoughts: Strength felt awesome, I've never full snatched over 65 before today. Cwod was a brutal ten minutes but i did with minimal split snatching. (another goal of mine is to get rid of this horrid habit). I also believe i did all my pull ups unbroken but i kind of blacked out so who knows. Smolov went well, no crying.. yet.
Day 3:
Smolov:
4x5 100
3x1 110
2x2 115
1x1 130
Cwod:
Pulse
Thoughts: Went in and did smolov before class at the SRC. I enjoyed lifting in the morning minus the atrocious music selection they have playing in the weight room. I really worked on exploding out of the bottom today and I think it really helped. I'm definitely feeling more confident under the bar. Pulse is an hour long cardio dance party basically. Its low stress on my joints and ends in stretching so its perfect to do once a week on this cycle (and i get to practice my twerking skills).
