Week 1: 20-rep Squat Challenge
For 6 weeks, every Monday we’ll try to find our 20-rep back squat max. For week 1, find a starting weight able to complete 20 reps (if uncertain, try 50% of 1RM). Each week we will increase by 5-10 pounds. If unsuccessful, re-try the weight the next week. If failed 2 weeks in a row, decrease weight by 10 pounds the next week. Perform warm-up sets before attempting the 20 reps.
