Extra Instructions / Points of Performance

Today is the final 20 Rep Back Squat, finally! This has been a big build and a long one. We totally understand that. I guarantee that you are ready to pack on at least 10 more pounds by the last time you hit the 20 rep. A note about this Back Squat. Many called this a breathing 20 rep Back Squat because of how it feels and what we need to do to truly hit this right. One you hit rep 12, the real challenge starts. Each rep thereafter will feel like you are really challenged. The final 8 reps might need an extra breath and brace at the top of each rep. For some the 20 rep Back Squat may take 2:00 minutes by itself. I would suggest working up to your working weight just hitting doubles or singles in order to minimize total volume here today and then give yourself a good amount of time after the 20 rep to decompress.

Strength

Back Squat

1 x 20 reps

Adding 3-5 kg more than what you completed last week. For a guide in percentage you should be around 70% of your 5-rep max Back Squat. We’re getting up to significantly heavy territory here. This is where you start really finding the benefits of the program. Remember, these reps need to be completed unbroken. Please take your time building up to the desired working load. You want to ensure you prepare your body and mind properly for the load you need to complete. Remember also, these reps don’t have to be fast. Break the 20 reps into small chunks doing sets of 3-4 reps at a time then giving yourself a break at the top. It is obviously a lot of time under tension but we find when you subconsciously change the mindset to a set of 3-4 reps over a set of 20 reps it can help you work through the set better and stay more engaged.

Bench Press

1 x 5 @ 75%
