BACK SQUAT
Every 3:00 x 3 sets
2 Back Squats @ 78-82%

Approach: These should feel heavy but controlled — no grinding. Athletes should move with confidence and maintain posture across all sets. Athletes may adjust weights within the prescribed percentage range (78-82%) from set to set based on how each set feels.

Cue Focus: Watch for hips rising faster than the chest. Cue “stay tall,” “brace first,” and “drive straight up.”

Scaling Options: Reduce load if athletes lose depth, posture, or bar speed. Position overrides percentage today.
