Back Squat
Strength Overview:
Athletes are back squatting at the weight they used last week (+ their weekly increase amount) for 20 reps. This strength cycle can be just as mentally taxing as it is physically taxing, so athletes should get mentally prepared before their attempt and stay focused on breathing and control. The volume will stay the same across the coming weeks, with the weight increasing incrementally. Encourage athletes to create a strong rack position by keeping hands just outside of shoulder width and also pressing up into the bar with palms (rather than just letting the bar sit up the traps). Athletes should take a deep breath at the top of each rep, brace, and then breathe out when coming out of the squat. Make sure that the lifting area is clear of loose items, and take a moment to teach athletes how to bail from a failed squat by demoing with a PVC pipe.

Back Squat (Back Squat 1×20
Week 8: 20 Rep Back Squat (+2.5-15 lbs from last week), based on the chart below)
During this 10 week strength cycle, we will be following a 20-Rep Back Squat progression designed to develop raw strength, muscular endurance, and mental toughness. This classic squat cycle challenges athletes to perform 20 unbroken reps at a progressively heavier load each week, to build both physical capacity and mental grit under the barbell. Work hard and reap the benefits.
Start at the weight listed below for week 1 and progress weekly based on the listed increase for your 1RM.
In Pounds:
1RM………….Increase
<= 120#.......start at 60% and increase by 5 pounds every other week (or 2.5 every week)
125-185#…..start at 50% and increase by 5 pounds every week
190-255#…..start at 60% and increase by 5 pounds every week
260-360#…..start at 50% and increase by 10 pounds every week
>= 365#……..start at 50% and increase by 15 pounds every week
In Kilos:
1RM…………..Increase
<= 55kg........start at 60% and increase by 2.5kg every other week (or 1.25kg every week)

85-115kg……start at 60% and increase by 2.5kg every week
115-165kg….start at 50% and increase by 5kg every week
