Back Squat (Take 15:00 to Establish a 1RM Back Squat)
Ideal jumps: 5 reps at 50%, 3 reps at 60%, 3 reps at 70%, 1 rep at 75%, then singles climbing from 80% upward to a true 1RM. Rest should increase progressively as loads increase, with 2 to 3 minutes between singles above 85%.
Modifications:
Level 1: Every 2:00 x 8 Sets: 3 Back Squats at moderate loads across, with emphasis on consistent depth and midline tension throughout the build
– For Knee and Back Pain, look to adjust to a Box Squat or a 5/5 Reps on a Reverse Split Squat (specifically for more sciatica related issues)
