Front squat

18-24 @ 78-86%, rest 3:00 between sets

RIR (Reps In Reserve). RIR = How many reps away from failure we want you to go. We will typically work in the 1 – 3 RIR (1 to 3 Reps In Reserve) range to ensure the sets are hard enough to be challenging and for you to make progress.

– IF you did the session last week, add load as per instructions (see below)
– Otherwise, choose a starting weight within % range that you think you could do 6 reps with.
– We are using a “rep/set target” progression for this lift
= Aim to hit 18-24 reps with target weight in as few sets as possible.
* If you can get the reps done in 4 sets, you can increase the load next week
* if it takes you more than 4 sets to complete the minimum reps (18), keep the same weight next week
* If it takes you less than 4 sets to complete the top-end reps (24), go heavier next week
