The Smolov Russian Squat Routine is a legendary strength-building program designed to boost your squat by up to 100 pounds in just 13 weeks.

Tailored for advanced lifters with proper squat technique and at least a year of experience, this intense program is split into four distinct phases: Introduction, Base, Switching, and Intense.

This Chrome extension not only guides you through the full Smolov routine but also automates Smolov Jr. cycles, simplifies plate loading with an integrated calculator, and offers secure progress backup and syncing. Key tips such as avoiding deadlifts, maintaining a high-calorie diet, prioritizing recovery sleep, stretching on rest days, and training with a partner help maximize your strength gains safely. If you are ready to commit and go big, Smolov is your ultimate squat routine companion.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the Smolov app for its simple, clean design and effectiveness in following the squat routine. However, many report significant issues with app compatibility on newer Android versions, leading to crashes or non-operation. The paywall for the final weeks is a downside for several users. Additionally, some find the guidance on warm-ups and lunges vague, and certain weight calculations unfair. Despite drawbacks, it remains recommended for beginners when it functions properly.
