This is a cycle intended for athletes who can't manage frequent or intense squatting; it uses relatively low-intensity squats twice weekly. It also loads for only 2 weeks before unloading, so it's good for athletes who can't manage longer burdening periods.

Volume: Low-Moderate
Intensity: Moderate

Good For:

• Lifters who need to squat infrequently
• Lifters who need shorter burdening periods
• Overhead strength & stability
• Competition lift improvement relative to squat strength

Notes:

• Some exercises use feel to determine weights; avoid grinding reps or failure
