I did Smolov a year or two ago. Put 75 pounds on my squat max but those were the most brutal workouts of my life. The Intense Phase was the hardest. My joints got a little beat up but they recovered. I started soaking in a hot bath with epsom salts for an hour after each workout and that helped a little.
I think it was worth it. Good luck!

Wouldn't recommend it for a beginner.

I have been trying to come up with a simple workout that I can do 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening every day, since I can't seem to find time to hit a gym.
The routine I have going is (in this order):
2 min jump rope
50 pushups
50 sit ups
50 jumping jacks
25 burpees
Twice a day every day, once before I go to work, once immediately after I come home, weekends the same.
Although it's a light workout, I've been doing this for three months, and the results have been pretty darn good so far, as in I definitely notice the change. However, I wonder about the balance.
Any suggestions?

Puckman dont you think a more advanced routine would be better for you at your stage?

I need some motivation. I am not getting to the gym. The gym is a 1/4 mile walk from my spot. I was hitting it hard earlier this year before I hurt my back power cleaning. This open thread is like the Approach Thread. Made to motivate each other.
Rules:
Only post what routine you knocked out today
Note any different techniques you started using
Note the length of your workout, time in and out the gym/routine
Note any gains you made from last week or last month
I have 5 months in country. Mind, body, and soul. I fucked up the 14 months I've already been here. Only real gains I've had were my pull-ups and bench. I have been trying to work my back and arms. Hopefully this thread will get me off the computer and get me to work out before I hit poker up. Appreciate the support.
