You should be able to do 1.5x your body-weight for 1 rep at least on the Squat before starting this. Check out <a href="http://stronglifts.com/how-to-add-100-pounds-to-your-squat-smolov/" rel="nofollow">this post on smolov</a> for more info on what's required before trying this. @Mike

Right now I can do like 100 kg squat for 1 rep... Is it enough to start smolov with? Btw, congratulations on finishing smolov. Sounds crazy hard... good job!

Breathing and the technique are big problems indeed with such a volume. Awesome that you did a smolov for the front squat. Breathing and the technique are big problems indeed with such a volume.

I flipped through your training log for a moment or so, and it looks like you really put the time in. I hope that's some encouragement for other trainees to do the same.
