The famed Smolov squat program is one of the more brutal protocols that I've used, but there's no doubt that it works...if you survive, at least. Smolov can put sheets of muscle on your lower body, but the risks of overreaching and injury are certainly higher than a more reasonable and moderate program. The Smolov squat program will test you mentally as well as phyisically.
I'd say for most people, it's not worth it.
If you've ever had knee pain, hip pain or lower back pain...not for you. If you don't recover quickly...not for you. If your technique is not solid...not for you. If you aren't prepared to eat stupid amounts of food...not for you. If you aren't sure if it's for you...not for you.

Godspeed my friends. May the force (and power and acceleration and strength) be with you.
