Smolov is done

I massively overtrained and have been down with a fucking nasty cough for two weeks. Getting back into it today (had other workouts but this is the first real one). The plan is for a month or two of more reasonable training with a greater emphasis on mobility and conditioning.

No Juan today so...

Two of those were belted.
These were done with a power stance wwwaaayyyy down. Did seven reps which is the optimal range for this % (90+) according to prilepins table. Later in the week I'll do some reppish work on this at lower percentages (also according to prilepin)

High box squats (used the box one notch above the lowest setting+foam), Buff bar, low bar power stance, these are RIGHT at parallel

Some tricep work

10(5/5) kettlebell snatches on the minute every minute for 5 minutes with the 24kg. Nearly died.
