So yeah back to the original OP it depends on your current work capacity

always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260 637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	LessThanLuke said: The pre cycle? As in the warm up two weeks or the base mesocycle? I am talking about the base mesocycle where you do Monday 70% 4 x 9 Wednesday 75% 5 x 7 Friday 80% 7 x 5 Saturday 85% 10 x 3 Then add 10kg in week 2 and another 5kg in week 3. Personally these workouts f**ked me up haha. But I did add 20kg to my squat each time. Did you ever run the whole 13 week thing or just this phase?

Member 4274, 19 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220 530.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq	ran it last year at 95kg BW. clean and raw. only did squat for the majority of the programme. went from a non-griz starting max of 135kg to 160kg after the first test at 4 weeks, during the 2 week speed part i added some bench to keep it ticking over, then back onto the final 4-week stretch, ended with a 180kg. found that this was a spike max, reverting back to 160 after a week or so. same thing happened when i did the 3-week Smolov Jr for bench, hit a max i've never got close to again. my other lifts didnt suffer, despite not training them specifically for weeks best to time it right and use it to peak for a comp.

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq	Depends on your recovery ability and, possibly more importantly, how experienced you are. If you have been lifting for years and have say a 250 squat and 300 deadlift, I personally wouldn't do any deadlifting with a high frequency squat routine. If, however, you are running Smolov and trying to take your squat from 150 to 170, then a bit of low volume pulling once a week shouldn't do any harm.

I'm going to try it in a week or two. I know it's going to be brutal, but I'll still be OK doing a bit of weightlifting beforehand won't I?

Should see Stephen manuals training building upto worlds he ran smolov and went 300 plus on deads more that a few times a week he videos all his sessions so there on you tube The most insane thing about it he dropped from 108kg to 95kg while doing it
