doing jr smolov routine:
bench/deadlift/overhead press 3x a week
squat/front squat/pull up/incline press 3x a week
so i'm at gym 6 days a week
the past 4 weeks was going great and was getting like 20 pounds on leg days and 10-15 pound increment on my other workouts so they looked like this:
215 bench/150 OHP/275deadlift
285 squat/160 frontsquat
but on the 5th week the bench/ohp didn't go up or stayed the same, they went down like 5-10pds
assuming my diet/sleep/test is great, what should i do?
you are doing smolov jr for all those lifts at the same time?

>>41348264
she's already fat. she will become obeast pretty fast and after that it's a ride to early gravve
>>41348324
if thats the way it has to be then so be it
i dont mind

You should try to keep the intensity high but drastically reduce the volume. Cut the amount of sets in half and finish each set with 1 or 2 possible reps left. Do this until all soreness and fatigue is gone. 1-2 weeks.

yeah iam
>>41348354
hm ok ill try but its not actually any soreness coming from it, i feel like it's just CNS fatigue but i haven't noticed any changes in my mental stability or feel any different. am i not gonna notice it?
>>41348399
Because changes in your mood could be very gradual you may not notice that you are actually feeling worse than usual. I suggest keeping a journal of the soreness or your push/pull/legs and a subjective 1-5 rating of recovery. The decrease in volume will also make you more respond better to the program when you start it again.

smolov jr actually tells you to do 4x a week but im just gonna stick with 3x because it seems like 4x does seem to give more results but i feel like those results aren't as efficient from what i've seen.
>>41348440
what youre saying makes zero sense, do you realize that?
>>41348438
ok so when it actually starts i won't notice until later if i continue with what i was doing. cool desu
>>41348455
i'm trying to say 3x is better off for me and this routine, if i tried to do it all 4x a week i don't think i could keep up because i tried it once before and my arms actually got really sensitive.
>>41348454
i shudder thinking how she looks without that
>>41348478
and whenever my arms started getting really sensitive like that they remained that way for almost a whole week so i don't wanna risk that again.
>>41348455
If it works, it works. He's less likely to get injured from overtraining and the gains will last longer if he does 3x a week.
>>41348499
ya im actually really happy with this routine but the only problem is if i tried to add in curls my arms will go blown sensitive mode and hurt all week.
calves are ok those i love to pump them up.
>>41348204
she used to be thicc chubby, now she's just fat
same with olivia jensen
:(
>>41348454
>wearing a corset
>>41348564
You say that as if they didn't get better.
>>41348354
>keep the intensity high but drastically reduce the volume
um did you mean keep the weights the same and just reduce the reps lmao
>>41348204
if only she was black
>>41348354
is this really better than just putting it off for a week? wish i could find studies to back this up
