Smolov Jr, Day 3 -- Wed 05/12/2012

I'm feeling much better than I have been earlier in the week. It's amazing what the body can become accustomed to in such a short amount of time. I also obtained a pair of Tommy Kono knee sleeves today. At first it was strange squatting with them, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

TK knee sleeves

Squats

2x10xBW
10x20kg
5x40kg
3x60kg
1x80kg
5x4x95kg -- One more set than I'd planned to do. I think I could have gotten all 8 sets if I'd tried, but again, being conservative. Not wanting to mess with my injury, and such.

Bench Press

10x20kg
5x32.5kg
3x45kg
1x55kg
8x4x65kg -- This was not fun. My left shoulder wasn't entirely happy about the whole ordeal, but 3 sets of 15 light band pull aparts and some stretching between sets helped me get through it.
