Russian Squat Routine and Feedback (Moving on)

Started with a max squat of 190kg in comp, progressed onto 202.5kg. Only modification I made to the program was trying to hit doubles up to the next session's top set weight instead e.g. Next session is supposed to be 170 * 4 * 4, program called for 155 * 2 * 6 but I will add weight every set until I hit 170 * 2. 

Good program to run while focusing on squats alone. Can add in Smolov jr for bench. 

After the Russian Program, I decided to work to a heavy top set daily and apply wave loading to the top set. My best training numbers in gym:

180kg * 8 @ RPE 8.5
185kg * 6 @ RPE 9.5
190kg * 5 @ RPE 9
200kg * 3 @ RPE 9.5

Pretty happy with these numbers for now but yet to hit 220kg for now due to some funky wrist issue. Could be due to me squatting lots of low bar. Will sort it out soon. Also had a minor pec tear so gonna close grip bench only.

Current approach to training will be Bulgarian. Always wanted to try it out and doing it with high bar squat and CGBP.

Just hit 182.5kg HBS and 140kg CGBP. We will see how it goes after 6 weeks.
