Tip: Heavy Weight Approach

Performing a heavy squat is a unique skill in and of itself. It can be daunting to see 3 or 4 reps on any workout, but that is not the intention for this day in training. The gradual progression of weights over the past six weeks should make you feel more confident performing at least 3 reps in your last set. This does not have to be a 3 rep max. Think of this more as a triple that is performed with perfect execution and a lot of confidence. It should not be significantly greater than what you performed for your third working set.
