Warm-up
Today’s focus is the squat. If you have been following the cycle, it’s time to test a new max. If you are newer to the gym, please get with your coach in regard to picking out a rep scheme and weights that work for you.
Strength:
Back Squat
Set 1 – 5 reps @ 55%
Set 2 – 3 reps @ 65%
Set 3 – 1 rep @ 75%
Set 4 – 1 rep @ 85%
Set 5 – 1 rep @ 90%
Set 6 – 1 rep @ 95%
Set 7 – 1 rep @ 101-102%
Set 8 (optional) – Exceed Set 7 weight
Rest 2min between sets 1 and 2, but at least 2:30min between sets of singles
Conditioning:
A one rep max on a back squat can take a lot out of you. Take this section lightly if you feel wiped out from the squats. Consider doing this with nasal breathing only.
