Squat Training
Mesocycle 17 - Week 4

Beginning Thoughts:
Just got back from the gym...
Workout:
Overhead Squats:
135 lbs x 3 reps x 2 sets
155 lbs x 2 reps
Next Mesocycle I am gonna spend more time working on technique. I am gonna try to hit 185 soon.

Front Squats:
225 lbs x 3 reps x 6 sets
Ok so here is the plan with these for now. I have never tried much volume on front squats and I am still working on technique. Today's workout went to shit because my shoulders and biceps were hurting for some reason. So It was hard to concentrate on my form. But, I got all 6 sets. Next week I will add 5 lbs to the bar and week after another 5 lbs and so on and so forth. I figure that around the 250-260 lbs mark this linear progression will fail. When that happens I will do something similar to what I did for Deadlifts with the modified Poliquin 1-6 Principle. It will help consolidate my strength gains before I aim to nail 315.

Back Squats:
Skipped. This is a sort of low volume deload type workout so I didn't want to push it.

Farmers Walks:
105 lbs x 2 trips x 3 sets
Decent...

Pallof Press:
47.5 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets
52.5 lbs x 12 reps

Overhead Squats, Front Squats and Farmer Walks:
Overall Impression:
Decent workout. I have my Press workout tomorrow...
