I have done Smolov but not on cycle. It's TOUGH and soul crushing, probably not so bad if you're squat max is under four plates though.

Done it. I respond well to high volume training. Please remember that you need to control (limit) a lot of other stuff you might otherwise do in the gym.

And good luck with day four.

What is hard about doing 3x8 lunges? I think those days are considered active rest days anyway.
