Back Squat

4x6 @RPE 7

*Rest 2:00 between sets.

COACH'S NOTES

Today we are performing back squats @RPE 7.

-This basically means that you should feel like you have about 3 reps left in the tank when finishing your final rep of each set.

-If you are limited on weight or using lighter dumbbells, focus on positioning or you can also slow your tempo down.

Focus Points:

-Deep inhale before beginning your squat.

-Stay braced and maintain tension throughout the entire lift.

-Reset your breathe at the top of the squat.

-Every rep should look the same.

-Strive for good positioning and focus on your key points for every single rep.

-Build in weight as needed to achieve an RPE of 7.
