• Incline Bench Press: 240*2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,2,2
• Hanging Power Snatch: 95*4 115*2 135*3-exhausted

woooooooooo I am absolutely exhausted, my musculature along my upper areas of my chest and anterior delts was exhausted here, just absolutely toast.  I'll write my thoughts on smolov jr. soon.

• Incline Bench Press: 4, 3, 3, 4, 3, 3, 3, 4
• Pendlay Rows: 185*3 195*2 
• Sternum Pullups: 6, 5

Really feeling flat here, missed several reps. Honestly I'm ready for this smolov jr cycle to be over, my anterior delts are just toast right now

Smolov Jr. For Incline Bench

I decided that since I rarely/never do premade routines I would try the Smolov Jr. protocol, for incline benching in this case. It's commonly used for squatting and bench pressing, so inclining isn't that far out of the realm of what it's regularly used for.  Hopefully that gets me to the 300 lbs. mark on inclining, we shall see!  It's pretty intense, but really all that changes for me is that on my squat day I'll do some incline benching first, same for deadlifting day. Also, I'll be sprinting on Mondays for the three weeks that the cycle takes.
