Squats are the staple of every solid strength program and are arguably the #1 strength developer of the body.  CFG will be performing a 10-week squat program for the rest of the summer.  We will be performing a 10 set x 3 rep scheme for squats on Mondays and a progressive intensity/volume program for the Olympic lifts and upper body lifts alternating on Wednesdays and Fridays. It is important to follow the squat program as prescribed.  If you miss a Monday, you may perform the 10 x 3 squat program at some point during the week.  If you don’t come Mondays, but would still like to do it, talk to Barry to create a plan.  Coach Lauren and Coach Barry performed this program a few summers ago and each increased their squat personal best by 40lb.  You will have 25 minutes to perform the 10 x 3 with your groups.  Please use paper and pencil to keep track of your sets.

This program is a good amount of volume and you will see huge strength gains in not only your squats, but also in your other lifts.  Squats simply make you stronger across the board.  Not everyone, however, must do all 10 sets to see results.  The minimum to be performed is 6 sets, so please speak with your class coach if you have a question about what the right amount of volume is for your needs and goals.
