  • General: Could've been a phenomenal day back but the bench press sucked today. I'm opting to change it before I even get far into it but not following GSLP. I think it may just be too much volume on the presses for my body. I'm thinking 5/3/1 may be the way to go and I've been doing some extensive research on the program recently. It's only twice a week so I may look to give it a go on Wednesday and Friday's training session. Smolov day 1 wasn't awful but it wasn't easy
  • Nutrition: Awesome minus some frozen yogurt with fixins
  • Body: Still sore in the same spots as yesterday just not as bad. Squatting was slow at the start but really made my lower body soreness go away
  • Sleep: 8-9 hours. Will sleep better the next week because I'll be at my Dad's where no one is home to wake me up early.
  • Reflections: Need to figure out what I want to do with the BP and press asap. My only goal is to see increases in these lifts over the next couple months because they have stalled for way too long.
