Can you do the smolov method for other exercises instead of squat like do the program but do it with the bench press or power clean?
Deadlift is an option for the full smolov if you can take the frequency, (there is a guy on here who had gotten great results from smolov for deadlifts) someone has done smolov for front squats multiple times, and there is a program called smolov jr that you can do for pressing. (bench or overhead)
i’d think twice before i did it with anything upper body. but i haven’t looked at the smolov jr program.

Smolov jr looks very doable for upper body as long as you eat and don’t add excessive amounts of weight per week.
I’m currently running the base mesocycle for DB rows and Fat grip DB clean and press. It seems to be working
