16.2.2026 Back Squat ( Strength ) Strength
Back squat
Build to a heavy double (H2) @ RPE 7/3 RIR (84-90%)
THEN
1-2 x 4 @ RPE 6-8/2-4 RIR (75+%), rest 3:00 between sets
– Build to a heavy double (H2) w/ 3 RIR (bar should be moving fast, not grinding through the reps)
– THEN 1-2moderate back-off sets w/ 2-4 RIR (1st set 3-4 RIR, 2nd set 2-3 RIR) @ 75+%1RM
– The intent is for this to be honest but not maximal work. FOCUS on moving well and driving up FAST from the bottom of the squat
