USSR Yearbook 1976 Squat Routine Overview

The program contains three workouts per week of varying intensity. The intensity of each day alternates with each 'heavy' day followed by a 'light' day and so on. The routine is designed to add 5% to your 1 rep maximum Squat in 6 weeks. Keep in mind that this is a Squat specialization routine - work the rest of your body only with minimal sets and a maintenance intensity level. The breakdown is as follows:

  week     workout     sets / %age of 1RM / reps
