Thanks -- I'm doing a bastardized version of Eric Cressey's Show-and-Go.

Clap Pushups- BW+4x4
Reverse Band Bench (using orange bandz, these are the light tension - my bandz are elitefts)- Some triples @ 255, singles @ 285, single @ 300, fail @ 315
DB Rows- 110x4x8/side

Should note that I nearly shat my pants midway through my workout and had to take an extended bathroom break - had little energy afterwards. This occurred after my first single @ 285 and after my 3rd set of rows.

I find weighted reverse hypers to be extremely shart inducing

Missed my last workout of last week/yesterday's workout with life stuff and I was also feeling a bit sick, so today was a bit of a mixed bag -- I'm trying to get as caught up as possible this week though.

Pretty terrible workout today.

Neutral Grip Pullups- BW+60x3x3, BW+70x2x3

1-Arm DB Bench- 60x2x8/side

Realized that cramming a bunch of workouts into today/Friday is dumb so I just did random stuff today, will do random stuff Friday, and then just pick up from the beginning of the week next Tuesday.

Bench- Up to 235x1 - this was pretty easy, I failed @ 245 about midway up.

Bunch of Triceps stuff (Tate Presses, Triceps Extensions, Triceps Pushdowns)
Cable Rows
Pushups

Sort of in a funk and have been for the last few weeks. I must say that I don't particularly care for this program - at least with respect to lower body programming. I feel as if I've stalled on squats for sure and probably on deadlifts. Upper body programming is fine. I have a general idea of what my programming will look like once I'm done with this - I just don't know if I should cut the program off right now, or at least let it run through. (I have 6 weeks left)

Switching up my programming. Show and Go just wasn't working for me -- not enough squatting, not enough pulling.

Deadlifted today. Nothing of note, just wanted to get back in the groove before I start my next training cycle. Weight felt much heavier than it should have.

Also did speed squats against light bands. Gonna do these exclusively to a box I think.

DB Rows- 18 reps each side w/ 100. Gonna try for 20 reps/side with 100 and then add weight.

Ended w/ some curls, kb swings, abs.

I'll post in more detail what I plan on doing either later tonight or tomorrow.

Bench- 165x6x6. Probably should've done some volume workouts prior to jumping right into Smolov, but w/e.

JM Press- 135x3x5. Feeling these out, unsure how I will program them. I like the movement, though.

Chins, Pushups, (Orange) Band Pushdowns- 2x12 each

Swole city, brah.

Yesterday:

Smolov Bench #2- 175x7x5


Chest Supported Rows
Chins
Pushdowns

Shoulders all beat up yesterday, couldn't really get loose.

Today:

Squat- Heavy singles. Squats felt super weird/not good. I anticipate it taking another few weeks to feel comfortable under the bar again.

Leg Press
GHR
Abs
