SQUAT Training
I did this
workout back to back with Bench Press. This is what happens when I take too
many days off: workouts get squished and then I have to balance recovery. Last
week I did something similar and I did my full Squat workout as a result of
which I was incredible sore for Deadlifts. I cannot afford that this week so
instead of focusing on volume I reduced it and increased the weights. I can’t
go below Level 9 on the Pins so I am going to begin doing Front Squats on the
day after Deadlifts with light weight working back up to see how strong my quad
is. Ideally I shouldn’t be doing 2 variations at this stage because it just
muddies the water (too many variables) but the emphasis is to hit depth and I
can’t hit depth without a heavier load than the bar on Back Squats so I have no
choice BUT to use Front Squats to progress on depth. I will keep the volume
something light like 5 x 5 and pyramid up the weight using small jumps and I’ll
add to it over the next few weeks. Let’s see how this goes.
