copied from program report:
I just ran Smolov Jr for bench and, after waiting a week, have tested my max.
TL; DR version: I benched 265# before and 285# after, though I admit both were submaximal. I pressed 185# before and 195# after - these were true maxes.
Longer version:
I used this calculator:

My bench has always been my weak point, but after doing Callador's program for a while, it's been going up steadily with submaximal work and occasional heavy singles. I haven't missed a rep in two consecutive runs of the program. I had a few weeks after the last run of Callador's program where I would have more time for training, so I decided to give Smolov Jr a try. I had finished off my previous program with a 265# paused bench - it was definitely a very heavy single and not maximal, but I'm not sure how much was left in me. As such, it seemed like a good training max to use for Smolov Jr.
I did the 5/10 pound increase for the two weeks because doing 10/15 seemed like it might be a bit much. I squatted and deadlifted during the first week and a half, but then pretty much gave up on it for the end of the program. I didn't have any problems making any of the lifts on any of the days and my shoulders felt great for the entire program. The week after the program, the muscles beneath and between my shoulder blades started acting up, but I think that was mostly because of postural issues: too much sitting hunched over a desk programming with not enough strength training (because I was resting to prepare for today's demonstration of gains) to counteract it.
Anyway, earlier this week I pressed 195 (previous max: 185) despite not having pressed in 4 weeks. Then, today I benched 285# with a short pause. I felt like I had more in me, just like with the 265, but I didn't want to push my luck. It felt good for the day.
So, let's call it 20ish pounds on the bench and 10# on the press - with the press, it was a definite max of 185 and a definite max of 195 - 5# more on either failed.
