First time I did Smolov I let the internet convince me doing regular upperbody along with smolov will be too hard to recover from. So I only did 1 day of light upperbody and my upperbody strength went to shit.

if you have to wait that long between sets i hope you do something else between like chin ups or something. man that has to be boring | any sport that requires explosive movements and strength require long breaks in between. olympic sprinters take up to
20 min in between reps. Anyways thats what smartphones are for lol Posted via RS Mobile | |

After switching back to high bar I struggle to rep out 275

While I was on bench smolov jr, I did maintenance for lower body. Alot of low intensity (1 plate-2 plate squats), isometric wall sits and leg presses so that I don't lose my leg drive for bench, mainly because of my ACL sprain but I can see why it can be exhausting to do high intensity for both.

Yesterday I did pull exercises 3 sets 8 reps (face-pulls, wide grip lat pulldown). Funny thing is that I went hard on those exercises and I barely feel anything this morning.. Tomorrow I will do pull exercises as well, but day 3 and 4 are reserved for bench and OHP.
On another note, I jumped into a self engineered cold tub yesterday in fear of DOMS today, and I actually feel alright! Sore, but capable of going through my daily routine! 
EDIT: I also had close to 300g of protein yesterday...

my arms are sill tiny | maybe you should try a rep range higher than 5, if that isn't working for you. Depending on your routine, you could be overtraining, or under eating. There's tonnes of factors. Or it could be genetics... or the combination of all of the above.

You get bicep mass from heavy back excercises. the bicep isolations are for finishing touches and cuts

my arms are sill tiny | stop being like the curlbrahs and just worry about getting your strength up with compounds... that's like the longest list of isolations I seen in my life..
once your compounds are improved, mix it in with a hypertrophy program to tear the muscle down, and eat a shit ton to bulk up because some of that mass you get from the bulk is bound to deposit in your arm area.
your arms will definetly grow, I'm 100% positive they will man!

When I squat low bar with a flat shoe, never any knee problems. When I squat high bar with a raised heel too often then the area under my kneecap (I think it's the patellar ligament) will bug me a lot. How do you squat and where in your knee does it hurt?

As for it being boring, there is nothing boring to me about getting stronger. | so after all this, I tweaked something in my back while doing a warm up set of 275 tonite lol. Was in the gym for less than 5 minutes. Fuck you guys 
And son, I know you're strong as hell (stronger than me), but I was lifting heavy before you knew where the gym was. 
But I stand by my statement tho. If you're doing 10 sets with 6+ minutes between each set, you're spending over an hour 'resting' aka hogging the squat rack not even squatting.
