Post Cycle 12 Plan

As of last week, I have been doing 5/3/1 straight for a full year. I've made good progress, especially in the upper body. However, my squat is lagging and I'm having a lot of trouble with it. I'd like to try and get my squat back up to, or near, former numbers (though I am lighter now).

After cycle 12 is complete (including deload), I will run Smolov Jr for my back squat, which I have done twice previously with phenomenal results. I will run it with no more than 90% of my estimated max of 170 kg, with a plan to run it at 155 kg.
