Smolov Jr - 5/3/1 Hybrid Program?
Currently running 5/3/1, have been for 2 years now and love it overall, however it's getting a bit stale and I need to bring up my lagging squat/bench. Current #'s = 515 pull, 350 squat, 235 bench.
My plan after this 5/3/1 cycle I'm in now is to run Smolov Jr Bench, and use 5/3/1 for lower body maintenance with no + sets, just the programmed reps.
So split would be - Monday -Smolov bench + accessories, Tuesday - Smolov + 5/3/1 squat + accessories, Thursday - Smolov + accessories, Saturday - Smolov + 5/3/1 deadlift + accessories.
After that 3 week cycle take a deload week then move to Smolov Jr for squats and do the same thing with my 5/3/1 upper days.
Thoughts?
