Yeah I was gonna say...Isn't that a 12 week program? A 55 lb jump in 3 months? Unless you're a beginner getting beginner gains, and even then, that's a stretch.Staying on the program is probably THE most important thing, especially with that program, it will get tougher I promise. In powerlifting just because you can do a certain weight for a certain amount of reps doesn't mean you should.
Now with that said, you should be using a true one rep max, meaning you couldn't do another rep but you did complete a full clean rep.
Also thats a pretty lofty goal, normal you want to shoot for like 25 pounds max on that program, unless you're a beginner or going on gear.
I need a squat program. I find myself just going in there all willy nilly
Smolov isn’t sustainable for long term progress. It’s strictly a peaking program and leaves a lot of people with injuries. It is really good at getting your max up though, not bashing it, it’s just not for anyone in here really.
5x5 with back down work is king for most people in my opinion, it will get you strong and it’s still decent volume. Most can progress with it and it’s pretty dummy proof.
