GET SKRONG!!

Simple, straightforward, hard and heavy lifting today:


Back Squat

5-5-5-5-5


This can be approached in one of the following ways:

Increasing – Increase weight per work set, attempting to establish a 5 rep-max PR.

Sets Across – Work up to a set weight, use that weight for all 5 work sets.

There's much debate about the advantages of both strategies, but sets across is (mostly) generally accepted as best for maximal strength development in novices (which we are.)


RESULTS

James - 185, 185, 155, 155, 155

Justin - 275, 295, 295, 275, 275
