Stimulus and Strategy:
Today is a heavy day. As always, heavy is relative to each athlete's capacity and experience. You will benefit from today's effort if you are working to your limits. Experienced athletes should build to a heavy set of 5 and plan to go as heavy as possible across all sets. Newer athletes should start light, focus on mechanics, and slowly add weight as they are comfortable.
Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell as needed to maintain consistently sound mechanics.
To adjust the complexity of the lift, consider performing a goblet squat with a dumbbell or kettlebell.
In case of an injury or limitation, consider squatting with a single dumbbell or kettlebell. You can also lunge with load or perform unloaded air squats.
Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.
Beginner option:
Same as Rx’d.
