Back Squat and Progressions

Writer: fit4desirefit4desire

On Beth's last back squat cycle, we took her percentages along with a back squat wave progression to build up her strength and consistency in her lifts!! šŸ’„


We built in weight week to week and used wave cycles with a few variations of šŸŒŠ7 - 5 - 3, šŸŒŠ5 - 3 - 1, and šŸŒŠ3 - 2 - 1. Nice work on this cycle, Beth!


Progressions adjust training loads and intensity based on individual needs and recovery. āž•āž– By utilizing these in our programming, it builds long-term progress and sustainability along with reducing risk of injury and overtraining. šŸ‘šŸ¼ (And shocker šŸ˜²: we don't only do this with strength cycles šŸ˜‰)


The principle of progression is the idea that as your body adapts to your exercise routine šŸƒšŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø, you have to change the intensity to continue to see enhanced fitness. šŸ“ˆ This can mean gradually increasing the weight šŸ’ŖšŸ¼, duration ā±ļø, or rep scheme šŸ„µ of your training in order to see growth.
