You'll get that alright. You'll be convinced you're doing them right but they feel harder than conventional and you'll wonder why people bother their arses with them at all.

But you still went and did it the other day.

You disgust me.

I have never really looked into any program, usually just do random stuff. At the moment I am going off 3/5/8/10 rep for 5 sets adding either reps or weights each session.

But I would definitely be interested in running something.

Getting better. I know it’s a mad suggestion but if it was to work for anyone, it’d be here I think

I did smolov junior for OHP. Week 1 and 2 was ok, week 3 was grindy, missed reps and generally underrecovered.
Added only very little on test day. So little that I think I could have got it at the start if I warmed up right and nailed the attempt.


But OHP isn't a movement I add to easily. JJayoo prob gonna JJayoo
