Not sure about Smolov Jr but that actually seems like it'd be tougher since you don't have the 2 week introductory microcycle to get your body used to squatting 3-4x a week.
I don't know if everyone or some of the people that do 5/3/1 do this or not, but I cycle the 5/3/1/deload, so that in a given cycle it would look like
Squat - 5
Military - 3
Deadlift - 1
Bench - Deload
Then next week is
Bench - 5
Squat - 3
Military - 1
Deadlift - Deload
Then
Deadlift - 5
Bench - 3
Squat - 1
Military - Deload
Then
Military - 5
Deadlift - 3
Bench - 1
Squat - Deload
I find this more manageable and fun rather than having all 3x5 one week, then 3x3, and so on.
Well high frequency squatting sure did increase my squat. Now the question is - is this good for athleticism? It will increase your squat, but I'm not sure if that's not ONLY movement efficiency improvements in the squat and that will not help you on the field. However, using heavier weights again and again will improve your body's explosiveness afterall, maybe even without increases in muscle (stronger neural signals).
whats with this 5/3/1 thing i see ppl talking about?
You're viewed as a pussy on the misc if you don't deadlift, so I'm not sure what section you're talking about.
Don't act like you've never seen the anti-deadlift debates.
I have (people think they give you a big waist, heh), but for the most part deadlifts are viewed positively there.

^ just feel like trolling on how i was able to thicken my back as an accessory to my heavy compound lift. also, no deadlifting here.
No! They are not. That's the point I have been trying to hammer home to you! You seem to think that besides water weight which is regulated largely by sodium/water intake (osmotic balance) all other bodyweight is regulated by energy balance.
Before I even read the rest of your post, I'm going to have to see some sources for how the human body violates the laws of thermodynamics.
It's quite frustrating spending 4 years studying physics and then another 6 in graduate school to have to remind people over and over again that nutritionists who know absolutely nothing of what they are talking about and couldn't tell a line integral from an apple and bring up thermodynamics for proof of why one diet or exercise plan work know ABSOLUTELY nothing.
You are NOT A CLOSED SYSTEM. You are not even a planet. If you eat 10,000 calories today and then you cut off your leg.... You will weigh less. The first law is not violated because the energy of the closed system (planet, universe, etc) is still there is the form of a leg on the floor... but YOU weigh less. That's all that matters to you! Just like if your bones atrophy you will piss out inorganic metals, quite literally matter will flow out of the open system, and you will weigh less.
Sorry if I come across as an ass for this post but it's really frustrating to here diet gurus bring up energy in the strictest sense (ie. $E=mc^{2}$) when talking about human metabolism. Not all catabolic processes even produce energy (usable for humans)!
I stick by Calories In Calories out and the IFFYM approach for body composition but if we are going to have a discussion regarding the peculiarities or exceptions to the model.... Well, broscience for weight training is one thing... but let's not approach bro-physics.

Man I always screw my de-loads and end up losing strength.
Yeah but you really need to ask yourself "am I really losing strength or am I actually losing movement efficiency "strength" in certain gym exercises".
