Still doing Smolov
This part of the Smolov cycle last 2 weeks and is the ment for speed training.
3 days per week. First day called for me to do a slow controlled concentric squat with no eccentric motion. So basically just lowering a heavy weight onto the pins, slowly.
June 8 - Back Squats - some nice 5's plus the concentric rep
60KG X 8
105KG X 5
115KG x 5
125KG X 2 X 5
130KG X 5
152KG X 1 <- counted to 5 and slowly put it on the pins.
Hey, Thanks Aaron! and thanks Jen!
Smolov is killing me slowly.. but in a good way i guess.
This part of the cycle is all about speed.
Speed box squats - pretty god damn low box to be honest. Its only about a foot tall.
105kg X 12 sets of 2
Keeping with the theme of speed i did lots of hurdle jumps in between my last 3 or 4 sets of squats and after my squats.
Hurdle hops - this will probably be the only time i record these lol
32'' X 2
36'' X 2
40'' X 3 sets of 2
40'' X 1
The hurdle only goes up to 40''
Ill find a way to make it taller lol.
