10 sets of 3 Squat Cycle


Formats: Web, Text, Excel,  |   $29

Duration: 9 Weeks
Days/Week: 5 (Web/Spreadsheet)

Volume: Low-Moderate
Intensity: Moderate
Includes Complete Accessory Work? No
Peak for Comp / Snatch & CJ Testing? No

Focus: Lifters who need to boost leg strength but don't respond to higher rep squatting

This program is built around a 10 x 3 squat cycle and its focus is building leg strength. It tests a max back squat at the end and does NOT peak for the snatch and clean & jerk.

Notes: Read this! The squats are NOT 3 sets of 10 reps!

What People Say

"This program was a huge plateau buster for me. My front squat improved from 385# to 400#, back squat 450# to 465#. Also hit huge new personal bests on push press, push jerk, and split jerk."
- Taylor M.
