Both strength and size. Improving my power to weight ratio to 2.5x BW for olympic squat.
At present I'm at 420lb and weigh 200lb
The past 3 days of this program I've been squatting 285 for 3x12.
Do you have a layout to increase your percentages/power/strength after your first volume month?
I mean, if you are going to build your rep to singles ratio, (like I understand say first lower weight say70% ie: volume, then power 80%+ then strength 90%+ as in say the Russian/Fred Hatfield's % program!?)
The article made some sense to me and I am somewhat familiar with Broz, not all that much however, but it looks like you are following something slightly different. Are you doing it to manly beef up your volume and certainly work/fitness capacity as well?
#420 not bad for your BW. I was never much built for the squat, more pulling/deads.
How/what kind of routines, did you use to get your original squat up to over #400?
Just out of curiosity, how tall are you?
...And eating enough too.
I admire your enthusiasm...!
Come August I will be doing squats/deadlift rotating every day as warmups 5x5
I kinda found as others, the deadlift on a regular 3x perhaps weekly basis, was a different animal. Granted I was in my late 40's early 50's at ther time so your age may be a good factor, however I was not able to continue over 4-6 weeks the almost daily beatings along with a full time job. Deads I think, may have something to do with the grip or irridation causing fatigue. The squat is different in that way. YMMV.
