United StatesNo more fiddling with spreadsheets and print outs at the gym. This app calculates the weights you should use, based on your one rep max, for the 3-week Smolov Jr. and 13-week Full Smolov Squat protocols. The app also makes it easy to keep track of where you are in the cycle. This Russian squat cycle has also been used by many for other lifts such as the bench press, shoulder press and deadlift with big jumps in strength. Smolov isn't for new lifters, but if you have some experience under your belt (like with 5/3/1, starting strength, 20 squat, etc.), then this may be a great lifting protocol for you.
Wrong Calculations
The app does a good job calculating based off percentages of your inputted 1RM. However, it does not add the 20 and 30 pound increases during the intermediate phase of the program (weeks 4 and 5). It only goes up by the increment you set app (5-10lbs).
United StatesHandy
Great overall, but all the resources I viewed mentioned a 20 pound and then 30 pound increase during the base cycle, but the app only calculates a 5 pound incremental increase.
United StatesGreat app for strength building
I have used this program for the last 2-3 years and it has been the simplest and most personalized program I’ve been on. (That’s free) My one thing I’d like to see is for it to be broken down into body parts. i.e. arms, legs, etc. it gets a little lengthy for me and the organization it currently has gets a little rough. Thank you again for a great program! I tell everyone I work with and see in the gym about it!
United StatesAwesome app
Totally worth
United StatesNeeds Improvement
Apps ok. Could use more organization though and progress checks.
United StatesWon’t show sets
I just got a new phone but the amount of sets i need to do each day won’t even appear
United StatesIf you work it, It works!
This app got me up to 285 lbs. bench by simply following what it recommended I workout with based solely from my max. I'm 50, & this crazy app got me up to a one rep max of 285 lbs. I would be at 315 by now had I not quit. This app works great but you have to be patient & let your muscles recover!
