Post Edited: Since I had to stop benching for a few weeks, I have stopped using my old numbering system. The previous week numbers were for bench, so they are pretty much meaningless now.
Smolov 5 & 6
Week 5(first ‘switching’ week went good. We flew down to Bahrain for some R&R, which I thought would screw me up some, but I was still good about the schedule this week. Did box squats 8 x 3 with 265 twice that week, and 3 negatives twice that week with 495. If you’re not sure how to do negatives on squat, here’s what I was able to find: load up with 50-75 pounds above your max, unrack, and do a slow negative to the pins, which you previously set up right at the bottom of your ROM(preferably parallel). Set the bar on the pins(control all the way down), strip off enough weight that you will be able to squat it back up, then get back under the bar. Tighten up, and EXPLODE the bar back up. Rerack the bar and reload the weight. Rest a bit, and repeat.
Week 6, I got too busy drinking and such. Only hit the gym a couple times, though I did compete in a chinup contest(palms in) on base and took second with 25. First place got 30. I did manage to get a day of box squats done, as well as a day of negatives. Hopefully won’t have any ill effects on next week, starting the intense cycle. I will also be restarting the bench, if my shoulder feels alright. Curious to find out how much strength I’ve lost from not benching for 2+ weeks.
