Daily Report:
Notes: Started the Smolov  squat routine today in search for some more volume as well as to improve my squat. Pleased with the 10 reps of the deadlift at 265#, if I would have had some chalk I probably could have gotten another 2 reps or so. Sticking with the template of squat, push, pull everyday and I have found it to be flexible and effective so far. I have been starting to see slow progress on my strength numbers and my body is adjusting so that is a plus.
Body: Good, lower back a bit tight from the deadlifts this morning.
