Program Description
The infamous Smolov program has 2 primary downsides. 1. It's hyperfocused on a single lift, your cannot effectively build your, bench, squat and deadlift on it. 2. It's completely unsustainable, within 4-8 weeks overuse injuries are bound too happen because of the sheer amount of volume in a training week. So what happens when you make some adjustments for both, spread out the volume over multiple weeks and still include some useful assistance movements. This is the goal of Practical Smolov, but in all honesty this is an experiment and should be undertaken with caution. Now this is not something you would jump into directly following an peak to a 1rm, this would be after a lighter volumizing phase to prep for this more Hypertrophy focused protocol. But if you feel up to it, I invite you to join in with me in this exploration of one of the most legendary protocols in Powerlifting.
