New squat program to try - Soviet 1974

I'm going to try out this squat program using less than my current max. I have been having issues with too much intensity on squatting all the time.

USSR 1974 (Option 1) Using 1RM: 365
        Week 1    Week 2                Week 3
Day 1 275x4x5    275x4x5         275x4x3
Day 2 310x5x5    310x5-6x5         310x3x3
Day 3 220x4x3    220x4x3         235x4x3


Lets see how it goes.

Tuesday afternoon - Hang snatches (hurts wrist), Clean and Jerk 275, Back squat

Two pains - surprisingly, no left shoulder issue. Lower right back on the last clean and then really started to hurt after getting home. Right wrist, pain during snatches. The wrist concerns me more.
