Smolov Base MesoCycle - Gained +40lbs on Squat 4 weeks. Do it Again..?????

[Torrtrefireto]

Oh wow really? Do you know or can you estimate about how much weight# this 8 week cycle adds to the Squat? I would prefer Squatting 2x a week because it's something I can continue doing more or less rather than some absurd 4x a week program lol.


You didn't injure yourself as a RESULT of the 90% 3x3 right?!?

I'm not sure why I injured myself. I dunno, losing tightness in the hole, doing too much work overall. I'd estimate it would add 5% for an intermed, 10% for a newb if ran perfectly. i think the pacing is better than smolov. Easy day then hard day. I added nothing because I didn't finish the program

Just looked at your stats. I can lift more than you, while weighing ~50 pounds less and having worked out for only 6 months.

Sorry man, like I said. SS sucks. You just proved it by your lifts... (no offense).

Wow...I didn't think you could be more annoying.

This post tells me that I was wrong.

Lol. I have only trained 6 months. I already added +200 to Squat/ +300 to Deadlift in that time period though. : )

Yeah, I know a beginner shouldn't do Smolov,but I went on it and I'm not complaining w/ 40lbs in 3 weeks haha.

In terms of my low body fat % , I actually am just a Bodybuilder. Only reason I am doing these programs is because it's making my strength skyrocket through the roof,and I need to beat my friend in our S/B/D competition. haha

145 lbs....."bodybuilder".....

WUT WUT IN THE BUTT LOL

lol, negged for being a troll.

But okay, I'll take the bait. I've been doing SS for about 2 months. I'm shorter than you. My squat is about 100lbs higher than yours. My deadlift is about the same if not slightly higher than yours (I'm better at 1s than 5s). You bench 30lbs more than me at most. My e-pen0r is larger than yours. My dad can beat up your dead. etc. Oh wait, who cares again? What does this have to do with optimal programming?

Anyways, have a good day man. No one is going to force you to do something that makes more sense than what you want to do.

pretty clear this is just going to devolve into a flame war at this point.

Not to keep feeding him but I saw that post and said "wait, what?" Your Squat is like 50lbs more x 5 reps....
