Just some motivation for next year. in Whey and Sonic Screwdrivers.

“If I can survive Calc III, I can survive Smolov.”

Been saying to myself that I’ll run smolov jr next year to bring up my squat. Because bigger squat = bigger deadlift. And we know how much plates on the bar help validate physical and emotional inadequacy. ; ) (The sarcastic way of saying we lift to feel good about ourselves and give a middle finger to negative feels.)

It’s the emotional fortitude to stick to things. This year has proven I can stick to lifting. Smolov jr is a 3 week cycle, so I thought I’d do that. For some reason, I thought Smolov proper was 28 weeks.

Nope, just a reasonable 13. I can do that.

Four plates before 40.

It’s a goal.
