Smolov is the hardest squat program in existence. The math is complicated and the fatigue is real. RepLog handles the percentages so you can focus on simply surviving the next set.
Enter your 1RM and get your exact weights for the Base and Intense cycles.
Ensure you aren't skipping the 4x/week frequency required.
Be warned when the volume is about to spike so you can eat accordingly.
Smolov adds up to 136 sets of heavy squats in 13 weeks. It has a high burnout rate. **Fatigue Management:** RepLog visualizes your "Tonnage" spiking during the Base Cycle.

"Smolov demands everything. Don't waste energy on math. Let RepLog guide you through the fire."
