smolov squat workout out at home
smolov jr bench workout at home
go to the gym and do chest and back for like 2 hours
go talk to my friend who is squatting.
end up squatting somehow
paused beltless 405 lol



tl;dr my strength makes no sense. also I'm overtraining soooOOooOOoooO hard.

but this guy at the gym is going around telling people i take pro hormones hahahaha. and his reasoning is that i told him i ordered some online. and also because i failed a 405 squat but then 9 days later i hit 430 LOL

Lol why are you even surprised?

When people call me out for being short, I'm not surprised because I AM SHORT.. so I wouldn't be surprised because its the truth...

Just come clean about it.

lol

[fittofattofit]

Great work to hit that paused rep at 405 and beltless!
So you're 190 now? That's a very solid weight at 5'9" and still pretty lean. Do you keep close track of your macros and cals or just aim to eat consistently?

You don't look anything over 15% which is way better than 95% out there and most that have abs have no mass
I haven't seen my abs for 2 years and I'm feeling guilty ... just love my food too much

i could barely see my top 2 abs when i was at 176lb

now imagine 190-200 lol

[VanillaBearB]

no gains den



how long have you been lifting tho? those are still decent numbers. must have them gorilla arms for deads. rip bench lol


3 years of consistent hard work for a 1275 total ... lol

Well I dabbled and program hopped a lot about 2 years ago. But seriously and consistently since the beginning of this year I guess! I had already hit a 170kg deadlift a few years ago though - albeit I had a 60kg squat hah!

Yeah gorilla arms and massive femurs = great conventional deadlifter.

Sometimes you gotta make love to the weights.....













But most the time they prefer it rough...

And every now and then they just get too much to carry so you just have to dump them


Still great looking squats despite the love interest

[Bh44]

strong fukaraounditis, I debated running Smolov when I got my love for Squats. I feel as though my crappy form is something I should address before I ever run it. Also just my overall strength. I also think I might run it if I had a basement rack/gym so that I could easily do 2-a days and dirty bulk lol

I have heard that despite it being great for adding to your squat total, it doesnt actually add that much when you factor in the amount of volume and overall sessions.

Strong, and great looking nonetheless.

watchu mean??

I think smolov would be great for building up form,practice, and mobility. just input your max into the program as something you could hit for 5 clean reps.

i put in 395 but my real max is probably like 415 (beltless)

i also changed the program just a smidgen. instead of some consecutive days of squatting and some not
(the program is on, off, on, off, on, on, off)

i changed it to just every other day i will be squatting. it'll extend the length of the program just a little bit but i feel this is better

I also think I might run it if I had a basement rack/gym so that I could easily do 2-a days and dirty bulk lol

thats what I'm doing basically

dirty bulking for sure

but this is what i do:

squat, back, biceps

bench, chest, triceps, shoulder

repeat



+ tons of food. I'm probably near 200lb now

hey you gotta do what you gotta do when progress is so god damn slow. i enjoy squatting so this is a fun ass program for me. also supports my laziness to not do any leg exercises besides squats

das it

I've heard of people running smolov to actually address their crappy squat form. You're doing the movement so damn often you're bound to learn great cues and clean up your form.

Cute vids tho. Sometimes I'll play some making love songs on high volume too srs. Idk why it just fits the vibe

[MikeWines]

^that frequency schedule is how I set up my squat me so as well.

Mon: squat
Wed: squat
Fri: squat
Sat: deficit pulls

Good stuff mayne.

That was what i was getting at. you're gonna get A LOT of practice running this program. just put in a easy number for your 1RM that way it isn't too hard. high frequency + high volume + light weight = great way to learn the movement, build strength and mobility with sub-maximal weights, decrease chance of injury, etc. etc etc.

thx bb. wood watch vids /10

yep. every other day is my sweet spot. everyday is just no bueno. das it

[Kameronn]

Yeah, only thing I'd argue against smolov is if you're not used to the volume you have a serious of chance of some overuse injuries popping up.

Idk, I hate women because I'm a red pill alpha bro. /s
