Recently days, I find myself able to use leg drive on my bench which I see many power-lifter does by thinking I'm pushing my body down towards the bench rather than pushing the bar up towards the ceiling, is this the correct technique to do use leg drive? I am able to feel the force from my feet towards the bar, and tighten the core is really an important factor to transfer the force. I've never been able to do that with cues that shown by Alan Thrall nor Candito

Alan Thrall did mention this pushing my body down towards the bench

Alan's cues: push yourself away from the bar into the bench, bend the bar to activate lats and tuck in your elbow not too close maybe at 45% to maintain shoulder health..maintain core and whole body tightness throughout the set..chest up..

Maybe i missed this part. Still not able to feel my lats yet so bending the bar doesn't really work now. Might cause my lats is still weak, not built. Might sounds illogical but those cue feel, doesn't comes in 1 day, it just come slowly.

Yup..it took me months..and one thing not sure about others my grip width is not that wide just a little bit wider than my shoulder...you can build up your triceps better or you can better "bend the bar" this way..

There's something called the Bulgarian Method covered by Omarisuf, it's mostly squatting everyday. I don't think this is the same as the original Bulgarian system though.

I'd recommend Smolov for squat

The key is Volume guys..if you want progress for all your lifts.

That's why I feel Smolov works instead of squat everyday - at most 4 times a week if you really want to go all out on Squat..

Just like ah_suknat - best way for recovery incorporate heavy, light or medium per week.
