About this program
A four-week, squat-focused specialization block that squats four times per week. Weeks 1-3 ramp high-volume work at rising percentages (4×9, 5×7, 7×5, 10×3) with the load climbing each week; week 4 tapers and retests for a new 1RM. Upper-body and core work is kept light and minimal so recovery goes to the squat. Extremely demanding — for advanced lifters only, and not while peaking other lifts. Deload hard afterward.
