Smolov Jr is a condensed, high-frequency variant of the Smolov squat routine — a demanding Russian high-volume program used to quickly build strength over a short block. The family of "Smolov" programs originated in Russian strength circles and has been adapted by lifters worldwide.
The program was popularized in the early 2000s by Russian strength coach Pavel Tsatsouline through magazines and articles like Another Russian Super Cycle.
