This starts my next training phase, or more accurately returns to what the Smolov cycle interrupted; a focus on conditioning while improving strength. Prior to the smolov I was adding mass, but now I am starting to cut weight. I'm at about 220 lbs right now and I feel I can lean out to a very strong 200 lbs or so, than come back up cleaner and while keeping my conditioning strong.
*Note* I only did front and rear on the 4-way neck machine, because I have a pretty good case of cauliflower ear in my left ear.
