Back squat 5-5-5-5 or 5-5-5-5-5

50 overhead lunges for time (45/25 lb.)

We’re going to squat 5×5 or 4×5 (depending on your experience) for three Wednesdays in a row, giving you a chance to really dial in your squats.

The goal over these three weeks is to put some weight on your numbers. We’ll try to make sure that each week – if the form is good – we good up about 10 lb. If you’re just starting out with squatting, this is not unreasonable. If you’ve been squatting heavy for a while, we might look at a different plan.

Either way, we’re squatting!
