Tony’s 20 REP SQUAT program WOD # 1 - 315 pounds x 20 reps

The 20 REP SQUAT PROGRAM begins... Determining the initial load turned out to be a bit of trial and error. We decided to use our current 5RM as a guide for WOD #1 of 12 in this 6 week program. Here's a few answer's to questions you may have: What should my 20 REP SQUAT starting weight be? Take your current 5RM and subtract 5 pounds for every workout that you'll do in the 6 period. So if your current 5RM is 375 pounds and you plan to squat 2x/week (6 weeks, 12 workouts total), that would be 375 - (5x12) = 315 pounds. How in the heck does one squat their 5RM 20 times? These are also called "breathing squats", so you'll be taking in air between reps. You'll add 5 pounds to your squat each workout!



If you remember from TONY'S WORLD RECORD GRACE, his mechanics are not percect. The RANGE OF MOTION is a bit short at the top on the 1st 10 reps. He'll be fixing this minor form fault next time and look much better at WOD #2 (320lbs. X 20 REPS).
