OK – I’ve been thinking about Keyzer’s 20-rep suggestion for improving my squat. I did buy Super Squats about ten years ago, but never put the full routine to the test. Still, I don’t think I’m willing to follow the program to a tee, which would entail giving up a lot of the movements that I really like to train. However, I’ve been thinking about how I could incorporate a modified version that would allow me to keep going on some of my favourites.
I don’t think recovery would be an issue, as I’ve been doing a 5-day split for ages, so just cutting back to a 3-day split should allow for something like this. The plan would be to follow the program for six weeks. Please let me know what you think… make suggestions, comments etc. I’m really not one for set routines, but I’d be OK w/ this since the squats are the main deal –and I could play w/ the follow-up movements.
I also may try the walk-outs until I decide whether to try something new. Thanks for the suggestions.
