Fitness Strength

Back Squat 5-5-5-10-10

Notes:  Use the first 3 sets as acclimation sets to prepare you for the final sets of 10 reps.  Rest no more than 2:30 between sets.  New athletes should focus on quality over load and use a box if needed to ensure quality depth and form.  Experienced athletes should attempt to perform 65-75% on the 10 sets, but remember quality first!

Advanced Strength

Back Squat:
5 reps @ 80%
3 reps @ 85-90%
1 rep @ 90-95%
3×10 reps @ 65-75%
Rest 2:00-2:30 between sets

Notes:  Prioritize quality movement above all else!  For the big sets at the end, do not take longer than 2 seconds at the top between reps.
