Strength

Back Squat @ 21X2

  • x 2-4 x 5 sets

Notes

Today’s strength is back squats. You will complete 5 working sets of 2-4 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 4 reps at the prescribed tempo for all 5 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: 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×3, 100×3
Week 2: 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×3
Week 3: 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×4
Week 4: 105×4, 105×4, 105×4, 105×3, 105×3
Etc…

The row or bike should take no longer than 2-minutes. Adjust the distance accordingly.

Choose a light set of dumbbells that allows you to complete the 20 reps unbroken across all 3 rounds.
