Strength

Back Squat @ 21X2

  • x 6-8 x 4 sets

Notes

Today’s strength is back squats. You will complete 4 working sets of 6-8 reps. Every rep will be performed with a :02 negative, :01 pause in the bottom, and :02 pause between reps. You will use the same weight for all working sets. The goal is to complete 8 reps at the prescribed tempo for all 4 working sets. If you accomplish that, the following week you will use a slightly heavier weight. Here is an example of how this could look in practice:

Week 1: 100×8, 100×8, 100×7, 100×7
Week 2: 100×8, 100×8, 100×8, 100×7
Week 3: 100×8, 100×8, 100×8, 100×8
Week 4: 105×8, 105×8, 105×7, 105×7
Etc…
