Impact/Focus: Back Squat ‘De-Load Week’
Upon completing warm-up sets and reps athletes will work through the 5 sets x 5 reps each with the assigned Back Squat training weights noted below. Complete each working set on a 2-3:00 interval.
Warm-up sets/reps:
5 x 30-35%
5 x 40-45%
3 x 50%
Working sets/reps:
Back Squat x 5 sets @ 5 reps each
(50% of 5RM)
Notes:
1. Working weights today are at 50% of a 5RM or in some cases this will be the best five rep set/weight achieved during the previous nine-week strength program; Some athletes are currently working at heavier weights than they initially tested out with at the start of the strength cycle (YAS!).
2. The warm-up section above is only a guideline warm-up sets at this point in the program. Modify Warm-up sets and reps as necessary to facilitate the deload weights for today’s Back Squat training.
3. Example Athlete at 5rm of 250lbs: 45# x 5 + 75-80# x 5 + 105 x 5 + 125 x 3. Begin Intervals at 5 x 5 with 125#, their 50% weight, and complete as training guidance dictates.
