Pain of sacrifice or pain of regret

[tweetmeme only_single=false http://blog.bossk.de] This was standing on the back of my shirt which I wore during todays squat session. Thank you Joe for the shirt this was awesome and it just arrived on time. This also pretty much explained my training today. Today was judgment day; the day for a new personal record in the [...]

New PR in the bench press

Today I broke my personal best in the bench press by accident. My plan was to do a mixed workout starting with the bench press which I didn’t do in the last weeks as my focus was on the squats. I also didn’t do a lot bench pressing or chest workout the last couple of [...]

Spartacus

I think almost everyone saw 300 in the cinema or at home. And if you liked it you will probably also like the new TV series Spartacus – Blood and Sand aired on Friday in the US on the PayTV channel starz.com which was inspired by 300. If you watch the first episode which you [...]

Smolov Squat Cycle week three day one

Oh yeah….I did it! I got under the bar and I just did it….and I feel great! Awesome stuff. I knew I could do it and I’m totally pushed. After those squats I did some good mornings the first set just with the bar. Than I put 20 kg more onto the bar and did [...]

Smolov Squat Cycle week three

The next week will start in about an hour and I’m ready to rock. During the last week I felt that there is more in the tank and I think I should add again 10 kg instead of 5kg to the bar. So I’ll go all in and start the week with 100 kg. This [...]

Smolov Squat Cycle week two day two and three

Woo-hoo….it’s getting heavier. The last sets on day two and three were a hard one but I don’t stop and don’t give up and I’m ready to get under the bar again and kill it. That’s why I’m looking forward to the last day of week two which is today and in about one hour [...]

Smolov squat cycle week two day one

I thought this day would be really, really hard as I had done a lot of sled dragging throughout the weekend and my legs were not 100% recovered from that. But as I was under the bar I felt good and those 4 sets with the 9 reps went quite good and after the workout [...]

Not walking in the Winter Wonderland

…but training in it. Besides the squat program I did yesterday I had an outdoor training in the snow with my girlfriend. We did sled drags as shown in the below video with each other as the weight on the sled. After 3 three rounds (the video shows only half of a round). We did [...]
