Sup guys.
I was selected to do this log a few months back, and certain circumstances arose. After much talking with Boss Man himself he insisted I not drop out and take as much time as needed. So man of my word I kept this in the back of my mind and waited for the opportunity that I thought I could do this justice. The time is now so let's see what gold I've been squatting on for all those weeks!
PR-XT
Stats
200 lbs
5'10
19 years old
at the end of my bulk, so slowing down the calories.
Maxes
bench 375
squat ?? Last I checked was 415 but I've been injured in my lower back for a long time
deads actually have replaced these with rack pulls as they allow me to keep my back from rounding alot easier. 495 for 2
Goals
my main goal is to get my bench up to 405 before I turn 20 in May. Lame little stepping stone I made myself and I am not going to take no for an answer.
other obvious goals are I want to pack on some mass while leaning up and staying generally the same weight. I like 200 I dont want to have to cut some weight if I dont have to. so thats where PRXT is (hopefully) going to come in and make it all possible. Eager to see composition pics in a month and just let the log do the talking.
Training
I was thinking about doing another Smolov Jr Program to get my bench up to 405 and have some leniency to maybe add a 5 or a 10 on each side by the time May comes through. (Since the program is only 3-4 weeks)
I want to do a Smolov Jr incorporated with my standard workouts.
Here's an example
week 1
Smolov 1 + chest
Smolov 2 + back
legs
Smolov 3 + push
Smolov 4 + pull
That's kinda what I am looking at to keep wear and tear down, the 3 and 4 days arent chest or back heavy its mainly more about the ancillaries. As you can see I dont have specific arm or shoulder days so these two days are more and less their replacements. Everything else would be typically hypertrophy training. In fact I would most likely use higher volume sets than normal just to compensate for the Smolov taking its toll on the body.
Like I said I was going to be deciding, I'll know by Monday what the real plan is and yall will be the first to know.
LETS GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD
