I'm unable to open it on this computer. But I know that when I did smolov, I remember looking ahead and thinking that they were impossible, but was able to do them by the time I got there. Think I only had 1 day that I didn't get all my reps. Here's the calculator I used. http://joeskopec.com/smolov.html |

It should be 138.25kg 10x3 @ 85% of original 1RM plus 15kg. 0.85*145+15=138.25 Monday 4x9 70% Wednesday 5x7 75% Friday 7x5 80% Saturday 10x3 85% Add 10kg in the second week. Add 5kg in the third week. That's the Smolov base cycle. Don't forget to eat an immense amount of food and sleep plenty! |

If I use this http://joeskopec.com/smolov.html it still gives me 10x3 (I assume 10 sets of 3 reps) with "154" in the last day of week 3. WTF? I can barely squat 145 and they come in and tell me that I will/should be able to go with 10 (!) sets of 3(!) reps with 155(!)?!?!? |

Haha, got me there. I thought there wouldn't be a difference since they're all "numbers" so the same formula applies. Apparently not, since the differences are quite big in absolute terms. |

it's not the same because you don't add a percentage on week 2 and 3 but a fix number (10kg or 20lb / 5kg or 10lb) |

If I were you, Raptor, I'd enter your max in pounds and THEN follow the spreadsheet. But convert back to kg. 10kg is a bigger jump than 20lbs, and the same from 5kg-->10lbs. |
