Back squat 5-5-3-3-1-1-1 reps
Post loads to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a heavy day. Ensure all 7 sets are heavy enough to be actual working sets that will get you stronger. All sets should ideally be at least 80% of your 1-rep max or a load that feels moderately heavy. Look at your most recent heavy back squat day to help gauge your loads in today's effort. Today, you can build to a heavy single over the course of 7 working sets, but all sets should be challenging. Newer athletes can stick to sets of 3 reps at lighter loads and continue practicing sound mechanics. Heavy is the goal today, but always prioritize mechanics, only going as heavy as technique allows.
Intermediate option: Same as Rx'd.
Beginner option: Back squat 3-3-3-3-3-3
