Second day of Smolov Jr. 7x5 squats tired me out, but I was able to finish all the reps no issue. Just lots of volume that I am not yet accustomed to. I am not looking forward to next week though, lol. I plan to try and split up my squatting from the rest of the workout, squatting earlier then getting into the gym in the late afternoon (5:30 pm) to do the rest, so I am more fresh and so I am not out so long in the afternoon.
Back Squat: 7x5x75% (251 lbs)
-135 x 5
-185 x 4
-251 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
Hang Snatch (straps):
-40 x 2
-40 x 2
-50 x 2
-60 x 2
-70 kg x 2, 2, 2 ~78% max snatch
Hang Clean:
-70 x 2
-90 x 2
-100 kg x 2, 2, 2 ~78% max clean
Jerk (behind the neck):
-60 x 3
-90 x 3, 3 ~75% max jerk
-95 x 2 ~80% max jerk
Notes:
-squats getting really tiring, I have never done 35 reps before in sets across. But I feel like I will get stronger doing this.
-I have been doing a slight pause at the bottom for maybe a quarter of a second to build strength from the hole.
-Huge line across my back from lots of squats then jerks from behind neck.
