M96C14T5 Anderson Back Squats 125 kgs x 6 reps @ 10th Pins @ 70%

SQUAT Day

I progressed on Squats by lowering the height of the pins from 11 to 10 and it felt fine on my Quads. The issue is that 6 reps is a lot of volume for me let alone 6 reps across 4 sets and this is without taking into account the injury in my right Quad. So getting this kind of volume done is really off-putting because I am used to doing super high intensity squats for really low volume 2-3 times a week. I won’t increase the depth next week because I think that would be premature. Instead, I plan on adding a couple of sets to this – maybe a heavy triple or double or something close to my comfort zone of 90%+. I am also switching up my training template for the next few weeks.

I have been training 6 times a week but I am condensing some workouts and just improving efficiency overall. I want a couple of days off to fall back on incase life gets in the way and I need to reschedule training sessions. As always, there will be a LOT of superset work done and this is just a template meant for me to loosely adhere to.
