Back squat 7-7-7-7-7 reps
Post loads to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a heavy day. Ensure all 5 sets are heavy enough to be working sets that get you stronger. All sets should ideally be at least 70% of your 1-rep max or a load that feels moderately heavy. Look back to your most recent heavy back squat days. These numbers can help gauge your numbers in today's effort. Note that today, you can build to a heavy set of 7 over the course of 5 working sets, but all sets should be challenging. Newer athletes should stick to 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: Same as Rx'd.
