Goal & Intensity:
- Today we’re testing your 3-rep max in the back squat. Make sure to to have minimum of 3-4 minutes of rest between the attempts.
- The priority is safety and full range of motion: hips must go below the top of the knees at the bottom of each squat.
- Focus on strong body control and don’t rush your lifts. As you get closer to your 90% and up, make sure to do small additions to the weight instead of jumping 5-10kg at a time. This way you'll find an actual 3 RM.
- Each rep must hit full depth — no half squats today!
- RPE: 9–10/10 – it’s a test, but must be done safely and with solid quality.
