I want to log my progress (if there is any) here. I decided to dedicate February to improving my squat. Starting Monday I will start the Smolov base mesocycle (3 weeks) and test my max during the fourth week. I will still work out my upper body during those days (will do a push/pull exercise).
So far my squat max is 405 and I just pulled 495 yesterday. I'm looking forward to week 4!
