Monday, March 15, 2010 - Day 1 of the Smolov Squat Routine

I am starting a new program to increase my M.E. Squat. It is a 13 week cycle that is VERY squat biased based on a Russian program designed by S.Y. Smolov. I read that it was hard. I read that it was demanding. I read that it sucked. I also read that guys were adding 50 to 100 pounds to their 1 Rep Squat Max during the cycle of this program. We will see how it goes.

Day one.

Squats - 4x9 w/230 (70% of 1 RM)

Pushups - 4x25

Below are some pictures of "Work" Jason and I in the little Borough Gym.
