Squat day, smolov day 1 week 3

Gorgeous day today after a little rain yesterday. Got out of work a little early and hit the iron.

Started with Results and MGPM. Did a little dynamic work and a little bar work and got to it.

Wore loose briefs and knee sleeves. Also wore elbow sleeves throughout for the accessory work.

Squat
265kg 4 sets of 9 reps

Setup makes such a huge difference. Tight, firm back, arch low back, head up, big breath...bang. Took the weight down slowly, tried not to get ballistic on the reps, and worked them out. Frankly, it was pretty easy. I felt them, no doubt, but overall strength is improving.

I still feel the scar when I walk -- jostling lights it up for brief moments, almost like an electric shock. But it does seem smaller when I palpate the area. And vigorous massage doesn't hurt nearly as much as before.

Super'd curls with Bradford presses. Yeah, well.

It was a great day, and I was very happy to be back in the rumpus room.

Hope all have a great night. Off to eat and batting practice.
