Progression Note – This 6-week back squat cycle is all about building strong positions and strength at the bottom of the squat through the use of pauses. Make sure you stick to your tempos every week.
Weeks 1-3 and weeks 4-6 have slightly different tempos. The reps will get lower and pause shorter as we progress each week. This will leave you a chance to lift heavier each set.
