Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a heavy day. Make sure all 5 sets are true working sets that challenge you and build strength. Ideally, each set should be at least 80% of your 1-rep max or a load that feels moderately heavy. Use your most recent heavy back squat as a reference point when determining today’s weights. You may build to a heavy set across the working sets, but every set should feel challenging. Newer athletes should use lighter loads and continue prioritizing sound mechanics. Heavy is the goal today, but movement quality should always come first. Only increase the load as much as proper technique allows.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:
