About to finish Smolov Base, what should I do afterwards?

Skipping out on the IM because I want to progress my other lifts as well as my squat, and a full 13 week investment (I've already invested 6) on just my squats seems a bit much for now.

Curious what MFP recommends I do afterwards.

    My first thought is to do a 20 rep squat program. That has other movements but still focuses on progressing your squat if that is what you want to do. I'm assuming that if you are doing Smolov that you have already done routines like SL5x5 and Wendler 5/3/1.

    Updated with 20 rep squat program link for reference:
