    Arrow Smolov squat routine explained in detail. (yes long, but worth it)

    In this thread i will be reffering to this link - http://www.dragondoor.com/cgi-bin/ar...3&articleid=80 , many people who read this still don't understand. So I will be explaining it.


    The first two weeks are for the people who will be doing Smolov after taking a long break from squats. (I'd say 2 weeks or longer).

    These first 2 weeks are called the introductory microcycle:

    Week 1 goes as followed (weightXrepsXset):

    Day 1 65%x8x3, 70%x5, 75%x2x2, 80%x1
    Day 2 65%x8x3, 70%x5, 75%x2x2, 80%x1
    Day 3 70%x5x4, 75%x3, 80%x2x2, 90%x1

    Above will be your squat workout.

    During the first week of the introductory microcycle Smolov suggests doing lunges focusing on max stretching of the thighs.

    Week two of the introductory microcycle
    There is no written routine for this week, it says to squat every other day (Monday, Tues, Friday) working up to 80-85% of your max. On Friday, it states that you need to work up to 1 set of 5 at 80-90% of your max.

    Smolov INSIST adding explosive drills in with these first 2 weeks. (Jumps and Pluos). Just make sure not to be hard on the knees.


    Smolov also suggest doing a warm up before EVERY workout that consist of wide grip press behind the neck, squats, and a snatch without any knee dip. 3-5 reps of each, and do around 2 sets for each exercise.


    *I also suggest stretching for about 15 minutes before each workout along with jogging in place*



    __________________________________________________ _________



    Then the hell starts.


    This is known as the Base mesocycle and is 4 weeks long. (weightXrepsXsets)

    Week 1

    Monday: 70%x9x4

    Wednesday: 75%x7x5

    Friday: 80%x5x7

    Saturday: 85%x3x10

    Week 2

    Monday: (70%+20 pounds)x9x4

    Wednesday: (75%+20 pounds)x7x5

    Friday: (80%+20 pounds)x5x7

    Saturday: (85%+20 pounds)x3x10


    Week 3

    Monday: (70%+30 pounds)x9x4

    Wednesday: (75%+30 pounds)x7x5

    Friday: (80%+30 pounds)x5x7

    Saturday: (85%+30 pounds)x3x10


    Week 4

    Monday: off

    Wednesday: off

    Friday: work up to near max single or take off

    Satuday: work up to near max single or max if you took of on Friday


    AHH!! that was tough eh?!?!?!


    __________________________________________________ ___________


    Now we step in to the "Switching" phase which is 2 weeks long.

    During these too weeks, we do light weight with maximum speed. Everyday is a DE day. No more heavy weights, i dont recommend going over 65% of your max. I will do sets of 8-10. These squats are DEEP.


    Also, do box squats from the sticking point once or twice a week. Do jumps, legpresses, and squats from the sticking point as well during the switching phase. Just remember everything is EXPLOSIVE!!! and fast.



    __________________________________________________ ___________


    Well enjoy that while it last because next is the Intense Mesocycle which is also 4 weeks long. In this section, youll notice the volume is cut down, but the intensity is out of the roof.


    Intense Mesocycle: (you will base these percentages off of your new max)



    Week 1

    Monday: 65%x3, 75%x4, 85%x4x3, 85%x5

    Wednesday: 60%x3, 70%x3, 80%x4, 90%x3, 85%x5x2

    Saturday: 65%x4, 70%x4, 80%x4x5


    Week 2

    Monday: 60%x4, 70%x4, 80%x4, 90%x3, 90%x4x2

    Wednesday: 65%x3, 75%x3, 85%x3, 90%x3x3, 95%x3

    Saturday: 65%x3, 75%x3, 85%x4, 90%x5x4


    Week 3

    Monday: 60%x3, 70%x3, 80%x3, 90%x5x5

    Wednesday: 60%x3, 70%x3, 80%x3, 95%x3x2

    Saturday: 65%x3, 75%x3, 85%x3, 95%x3x4


    Week 4

    Monday: 70%x3, 80%x4, 90%x5x5

    Wednesday: 70%x3, 80%x3, 95%x3x4

    Saturday: 75%x3, 90%x4, 95%x4x3


    __________________________________________________ _________


    Well thats it, the hard part is over, now you have the last week. Smolov suggest doing this routine that week to help you peak:

    Sunday 70%x3, 80%x3, 90%x5x2, 95%x4x3

    Monday: Rest

    Tuesday: 75%x4, 85%x4x4

    Wednesday: Rest

    Thursday: Rest

    Friday: Rest

    Saturday: Max

    Im on my second week of smolov, and it definitely takes a toll on you. I bench twice a week, but now Im going to have to cut down to just once a week cause I cant finish sets that I finished with ease before. Pretty bummed. My legs feel strong as hell though.

    Cheers for PM'ing this to me mate, creating a excel sheet as i type this

    When you did this, what were the gains you made at the end? Would you say it was worth those 11-13 weeks of pain for 5 minutes of glory?

    Also, for the different phases, introductory, base ect.. do you retake your pb or just use the one you used for the introductory microcycle?

    Edit: Was reading through again and found this, not sure if its an error or suppost to be like that. I've highlighted the bit i was concerned about.

    There is no written routine for this week, it says to squat every other day (Monday, Tues, Friday) working up to 80-85% of your max. On Friday, it states that you need to work up to 1 set of 5 at 80-90% of your max.
    Should that be Monday, Wednesday, Friday?

    i have a few questions

    do it say you'll gain up to 100 lbs on your RAW lift, or your full gear lift?


    and also, whats the point in gaining 100 lbs on your squats if your bench will fall drastically and your deads will prolly suffer some also?

    From what i've read,

    The increase wil be raw as your 1rm was taken raw.

    You can do upper body work with it, i plan on doing 3 wave's with it which will increase my bench as my squat goes up.

    Squating is suppost to increase you deadlift aswell, i will be doing a bit of deadlifts but it will be sumo style and for warming up squats as i have tight hip flexors.

    I didnt bench at all while on the routine or deadlift and they both went up. And it is for raw.

    I know you're only doing what the routine calls for, but thats a bad idea in my opinion.
