Drew Mathews Training

5 rounds for time  250 meter Run 25 Ab-mat Sit Ups  15 Box Jumps (24")  * alternate rounds with a partner  This week isn't as much a deload week as it is a week that I don't have anything planned. I will be starting another squat cycle Monday.  My wrist is gradually getting better; still feeling pain when I put pressure on it.  God Bless! 

Back Squat 7 x 5 x 340 lbs  Mobility work for 45 minutes This is my 6th time doing the first phase of smolov within the last year. I have never had such a hard time with the first week. Typically week 1 is relatively light compared to weeks 2 and 3. The first week of smolov this time around has felt like the last week. Each set is a struggle. Even though I feel beat down some days and don't feel like squatting I'm going to keep grinding through this program. I know God will bring good results from it, so all it have to do is to push it day in day out.  God Bless! 

Back Squat 5 x 7 x 315  Calf Raises 3 x 10 x 275  Mobility work for 30 minutes  The last two days I have been extremely sore... to the point to where I could barely walk. 

Back Squat 4 x 9 x 305  3 sets  20 GHD Sit Ups  15 Reverse Hypers  Mobility work for 30 minutes

Thrilled with this squat PR yesterday. So stoked to see progress. Back Squat 5 x 225, 275, 315, 3 x 345, 365, 385, 405, 1 x 425  God Bless!
