In reply to Vasta, Nicholas, Sean. If you're injured, that is a great option. Even using a slingshot.

In reply to Tim M. I don't see why not! Expect different carryover to regular back squats though, you're building a base the hardcore way.

Hey Alex,
Any chance we can replace Workout B Box Squats with Zercher Squats or Zercher Box Squats, since they build the posterior chain and builds strength for Deadlifts

In reply to Mason Harper. If you have no choice but to sit down, yes but do so without back support to properly mimic the standing form. Otherwise, use a high incline angle around 75 degrees.

In reply to Anonymous. Hello, 2x a week will still be super effective. If anything, you'll have much better recovery and can probably use the maximum volume listed. Worst case, there's one PR less per workout, but you'll go far in the end. Yes, you can add GPP as a third day since that's easier than lifting.

Hell, I would like to ask if can do it twice a week instead of 3 times. I work as a chef long hours and moving all the time I am not sure if I can eat and sleep enough to recover properly. I think I can add bjj or muay thai instead of 3rd day do one of them twice a week ass gpp ?

then says lower body emphasis?

are the titles reversed?

am i dumb or can some one clarify?

i am trying to do an upper body emphasis (my lower is 315/405 , but my upper is lagging only 205 bench etc)
