Nice deadlifting. I am all for intensity. There is nothing like leaving it all in the gym, or toilet/trash can/ground/etc! I have found if you are consistently intense, the rest will take care of itself.

haha, thanks guys..something about puking in the gym gives you 1. an instantly good feeling, 2. feeling like you left it all there!..literally! hahaha

SMOLOV Switching week#2, Day #3

Clean/pushpress
155x6
165x4
175x2

CGBP:
205x5, 3 sets

in, intense, out! Time for a few recovery days and the Intense cycle starts on Sunday

also, i dont know if the bcaa + gatorade protocol I have put into place w/ bigger more spaced out meals has an effect, but I feel the most "muscle bound" fullest/strongest I have ever felt..its great, like every day I feel like i have grown a little. It may be due to the fact that since my meals are more spaced out and i am not worried about eating too much..back when i ate more frequently, i would feel constantly full, so eating a lot got hard...who knows, but what ever is happening it seems to be working

-This crap is NO JOKE!!! 80 some % of my max for 5 reps..at the END!! This is not for the weak...I will make it!
-forgot to mention in my last post that during my last week of switching I loaded creatine to see if that can help get me thru this intense cycle.
-Decided that the cheap leather belts my gym has just wont cut it anymore..they are too flimsy and I cannot get them tight enough...I have an Inzer 10mm lever on order!
