In regards to the initial set of front & back squats, should one work up to the heavy % or begin at the higher perscribed %? Thanks, love the site. Greg Everett 2 | 2013-04-19 Always warm up to you working weights Adrian 3 | 2013-04-22 Hi Greg, Do you recommend doing each training day in one session or could we split the training into two sessions in a day? Greg Everett 4 | 2013-04-23 Adrian - Splitting up the work into multiple sessions is fine. Vythand 5 | 2013-04-24 Coach Everett, For cycles that are largely based on working up to a heavy set, how do you know what is, or isn't, heavy enough? Where do you draw the line between doing too much and doing too little? Thanks! Steve Pan 6 | 2013-04-25 Vythand - You will know when it is too much for the day. Don't take more than 3 attempts at a given weight. Close to 90% of your best would be where you want to aim for, but if you are feeling good and can beat your best you should go for it. There is more information at the Program Help section under Loading/Set/Rep Prescriptions. Vythand 7 | 2013-04-27 Thanks for the help Steve, I'm a big fan by the way! I love your video about your "diet" lol Krystle 8 | 2013-05-02 Hi- in regards to FS 80% X 1 does this mean I am just working up to my 80%, and just doing 1 rep? sorry if this is a silly question! Thanks! Steve Pan 9 | 2013-05-02 Krystle - That is correct, you will just work up to 1 rep at 80%.
