Smolov - Russian Squat Routine

Legendary Back Squat Workout

Published by: Charles Vanderhoff

Description

The legendary Russian Squat routine that can boost your Squat by up to 100 pounds in 13 weeks. Smolov was created by the Russian master Sergey Smolov and later came to popularity in 2001 in the book "Power to the People Professional".
WARNING: Smolov is not for beginners. It is recommended that you have at least one year of weightlifting experience before attempting this advanced routine. You must also have proper squat technique.
This is the program for lifters who know that anything worth doing is worth doing right. Go big, or go home.
Smolov is split into 4 phases:
- Weeks 1-2: Introduction Phase
- Weeks 3-6 Base Phase
- Weeks 7-8 Switching Phase
- Weeks 9-13 Intense Phase
Full Smolov Tips:
- Do not deadlift when doing the Full Smolov routine. Deadlifts will interfere with your squats.
- Eat: at least 4000/kcal/day (depending upon body type)
- Sleep: This is when you get stronger. Recovery will not happen if you do not get at least 8 hours of sleep
- Stretch: Stretching on rest days will prevent injuries, boost strength and recovery time
- Get a training partner
Bonus Features:
- Automate your Smolov Jr. cycles! Run any number of Smolov Jr. cycles as well as the full Smolov cycles.
- Never do plate math! We've included a plate calculator that will tell you what plates to load on your bar for each lift and automatically round your weights.
- Login to backup / sync your progress. Never lose your work!

Smolov Reviews

They Don’t have correct program

Pen1s man on

United States

They often have the wrong percentages. For example, day 1 of week 9’s final set calls for 5 reps at 90%, but it should be 85%…. Waste of money.

Program is good. Interface is trash.

sirfolds on

United States

Sure, it gives you the program just as it should be, but the interface is just as bad as the rip-off’s. There is no way to complete a program while some days are unchecked and let’s keep it real sometimes we don’t do it all but wanna keep track of what we miss. Second it always forgets what your max and increment is. Super easy problems to fix but they’re still there.

App great. But week 1 has bugs.

FernanQ on

United States

The app is great! But... be aware of the programming on week 1. It says to do lunges at 70% which is NOT part of the SMOLOV programming. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP. Other than that, the calculations are fine and I absolutely love that I can enter the type of plates I have so that it takes the guessing game out. Solid!

Charge to finish

Ocnm9d on

United States

Looks awesome kinda a bummer they charge 6$ to work past week 7... also who does lunges with 85% of their 1rm like are prescribed in week one?

My butt

It hurts

Simple. Clean. No annoying ad pop ups

KARMAtiK... on

United States

Does what it does. I haven't checked if the formula is accurate to the ones on the website but it shouldn't matter too differently.

Smolov Made Easy

Charlie0001 on

United States

This app has been great! All you have to do is input your 1RM and the whole 13 week program is ready for you to do. 3 week Smolov jr. support too.

Inaccurate and useless

Smsutto on

United States

Percentages are wildly incorrect for smolov. This makes the app useless. This is also dangerous for those trusting the accuracy of your app. This is very basic stuff. Do not use...
