Cuz My Squat Stinks

Some of you have gotten wise to the fact that I have been squatting every day.  This is probably because you’ve heard me crying about how I’ve been squatting every day.

Why?  Because I want to clean more but my squat stinks.  My pull and catch are decent at heavier weights but I just can’t stand up because my front squat is weak.  My solution is to squat everyday.  Anyway, some of you were asking so here is what I am doing:

The picture above shows my attack plan.  Since I’m at the gym 5 days a week, that means I get to squat 5 days in a row and then rest 2.  Sounds crazy until you figure in all the variations I’m tossing in.  Back squat, front squat, overhead squat, zircher squat and power squat.  (The second five repeat the same lifts but are all done with a pause.)  All this changing of the squat helps make sure I’m not wrecking myself.  Every day is 5 sets of 3 and each time I get back to a lift I’ve already done, I try and do more weight.

I stole the idea from a program called “squat everyday” and adapted it to suit my needs and schedule.  If anyone wants to jump on the squat wagon with me, you are more than welcome.  If you want to wait 4 months until I’m done so I can tell you how it went, you can do that too.
