I actually did follow this! I did it in June/July to break a plateau. It actually may have been you who recommended it to me back then heh.
Nice lifts btw :O

My only issue with Smolov was that in the first few weeks I felt like I wasn't training hard enough and I'd end up with strange numbers like 67.5 kg, so i'd have to round it down to 65, which is what I did last.

Get yourself 1.25kg plates. They're about R80. I take mine to gym with me :p 5kg is a big jump each time on bench.

Those numbers are from 2011 :( Now I'd probably max 120kg with my buggered shoulder.
 
dauyym I ate way too much crap this weekend! Oroes, Pizza, chocolates, McDonalds and LOADS of beer. Gonna need to put in an extra day this week ;D

Anyone felt nauseous after a workout? It was so hot today, idk why, but it was hotter inside the gym than outside I think their aircons are off. I was sweating so much, I never really sweat but I was sweating so much that the sweat was burning my eyes.
I felt sick after a while, it ws just too hot my body couldn't take it. I cut my workout short, idk if it was too hot or my workout was too intense and I have some CNS overtraining

Lots...thrown up too - especially after deadlifts. Just reminded me how I hate training in summer :p

Yip after a hectic 45min session I sometimes feel lightheaded but I gym in a garage that gets HOT with corrugated iron roof.
Never thrown up though, come close.
I find I need to sip my post workout shake on the coach for at least 20min after most workouts then I'm fine afterwards.

So my fighting weight is now 74kg, have not been at this weight for ages....diet of meat and veg ONLY.
This is the leanest and muscular I have been for a while but I look very wire-ly and now have 5 single muscles showing in my shoulders when I move them around, cool but weird.

LOL, luckily not like that guy in the pic.

I reckon I have laid a muscle foundation so to speak so muscle added now will make me look like a bodybuilder and not "sporty"

Haha dude I was only kidding, the wiry comment is from the movie The Replacements you should watch it if you haven't already!
 
I'm 1.79

It's pretty cool those feathers I have 3 on my rear, when I'm chopping up veg at night I can see them ruffling in the window reflection, pretty cool.
A rear deltoid poise in the mirror, my right hand side shows much better definition than my left rear felt.
 
damn...the difference only 5kg can make. Tried weighted dips with 25kg yesterday, barely just made it to 10 reps. I don't even want to think about how 30kg is gonna feel. So much for thinking I can get to 40kg anytime soon haha.
 
Have anyone of you tried muscletech's anotest? experienced any gains while using it? side-effects?

:) Not assuming that you are doing things wrong or right, but the one thing I picked up from Scott Herman's youtube channel was to make sure you are doing full range of motion on your dips. Else the day that you go beyond your normal ROM is the day you get injured.

I don't lean forward much, and I don't go below parallel into the stretch. Dips, and more so weighted ones, are pretty hard on the shoulders and I'm definitely not in the market of screwing one of those up again.

Edit: this would be pretty much the form I use, with weight added:

They're going to price their benefits out of the market soon - which is fine, I'll then move to another provider :p
