What's wrong with this Smolov spreadsheet?

I put in my 145 squat and by the end of the second phase (week three in that phase) it has me doing 10x3 with 155. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

10 sets of 3 reps with 155? :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm:

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.

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.
