This method works well, too.If that doesn't work, then, well..man-up motherfucker.
That did things for meWith squats you generally have to grab it by the throat and face fuck it into submission

G'day all, long time lurker very rare poster however have come across a mental block...
Basically I feel like I'm not squatting enough. I'm following the beginner strength programme as best I can (not really good at consistent frequency of training, I'll have a great week the. Go on day shift and get 1 session in on top of rugby training) and I do a fair amount of cardio with rugby.
So whilst I except that I'm far from perfect in terms of achieving good progression I still think my squat is weak.
I manage my 3x10 work sets at 80kg all the time. Some days I can do 2 of those sets at 90kg.
As a reference my bench sets (3x8) are achieved fairly comfortably at 70kg and my dead lift sets are currently 115kg.
I'm making good traceable progression on all lifts except the squat.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Or am I way over thinking things?
Work with different rep ranges instead of doing 10's all the time.
One session you might do 95kg 5x5.
Next session you might do 70kg 2x20.
Next session you might do 90kg 3x10.
As mentioned above you should be trying to add either weight or reps every session. So if you do 90kg 3x8 then next session you should either do 92.5kg 3x8 or 90kg 3x10.
Progressive Overload is key. You dont want to do the same thing over and over again.
Also try doing other lifts that will assist you in squatting. Front Squats, Lunges, Box Squats etc.
Squats are something you have to keep on pushing yourself on to progress.
Hope this helps.
How do you guys workout what no. of sets to use when doing this. I mean, if you're doing 5 reps... generally the go is to do 5 sets, right? 5 by 5. What about 2s, 3s, 10s, etc? I've seen 'prelepins table' but it doesnt look totally right to me.
