not if you're recovering well, mehdi. you're also anything but a beginner & your CNS has no doubt adjusted. my point is that expecting what works for someone who has been lifting awhile to work for everyone is silly; in fact, this whole thread has devolved into silliness, the important stuff was already said by espi & effort.stronglifts said:I'm doing smolov for front squats. 4 times front squats a week. 35 reps per workout (not including warm-ups). Add to that overhead presses & power cleans. Am I doing wrong?
