Good luck with Smolov. It is tough but worth it. Don’t be afraid to gain a little weight and get all the sleep you can get. [/quote]
Made it through. I test on Friday

Congrats! And good luck on test day.
How do you feel?
responding to my post, made 250x4, figured out my bar position is too high.
i did 330lbs x 5 box squat (parallel) should be hittin 400 for a single in 2 months or so

Good I guess, I’ve eaten a ton this week. I’ve rested/stretched/Epsom salt bath all week. Just nervous and hoping if I do get a pretty sweet PR, I will continue with the rest of Smolov
Got it. Vid’s in BOI:
Good luck alkoholik (no way am I doing those caps). What’s your previous best? I didn’t think I would get it either, but lo and behold, lol.

Saw it, great video. Tried to post it in BOI, however I’m restricted. How does one get in there?
My best was 345, however I dropped 18lbs and with it lost that squat max. I retested after the weight lose and could only get 320. So I used that as my 1rm on smolov.
Again congrats

You’d have to PM hungry or Stu I think is how it works to ask to get in. Anyways, I’m looking forward to seeing an update later on today!
Well I’m just 40lbs away. Smolov is teh shit
Is smolov more difficult than 20 rep squats 3 days a week?

I’m not sure about the difficulty but the purpose of smolov is to increase the weight on squats while 20 rep squats is a hypertrophy/mental toughness thing. Your squat would go up on 20 rep squats, but choose the right program for your goals.
