Strength

Back Squat @ 32X1

  • Build to a heavy set of 2-3
  • Drop 15% and do 2 more sets of 2-3

Notes

Today’s strength is back squats. Each rep will be performed with a :03 descent, :02 pause in the bottom, and :01 pause between reps.

You will begin by building up to a heavy set of 2-3 reps. Aim to squat about 5% more than last week. After you have found your heavy set, you will take 15% off the bar and do 2 more sets of 2-3 reps at the same tempo.

Let the tempo dictate where you stop as you build up to your heavy set. If you cannot maintain the tempo after that 2nd rep, don’t try for the 3rd rep. Just rack the bar as you have found your heavy set for the day.
