FINALLY hit a 500 lb highbar squat

Super ugly but I’ll take it.

500x1



Took some time off to be with my newborn son so I decided to run smolov jr for squat and bench.

Started the program with a 425 lb squat and a 325 lb bench - not all time best lifts, just current 1 rep maxes.


Bench went up from 325 to 355 (probably have 360-365)
Squat 425 to 500

Not wise of me to run it for both squat/bench at the same time. Rough when the days overlapped forcing me to hit both on the same day. I was not used to that amount of volume on back to back days 3 and 4. I took 2 weeks before I really tried any serious weight as my CNS was fried after the 3 week program. Probably doesn’t help having no sleep with the newborn and all lol

Overall a solid routine! I will do the full version when I get the itch for strength numbers again.


Bench 355
Best gym lifts
Bench 390x1 225x22
Squat 500x1 405x10 315x21
Deads 640x1 405x20

I honestly think the slow eccentric hurts my PR and I tend to do this for anything over 75%. I don’t get a good rebound out of the hole.

Playback looked easy but felt like a true 1RM.

I honestly suck at 1RM.

Mirin. What’s your deadlift look like? How old are you? How do you feel about going that heavy vs functional strength and flexibility?
