Title: Squatting plan
Post by: fast does lie on October 20, 2012, 10:24:10 pm

How does this squatting plan sound.  3x per week consisting of:

hi volume day: 3 sets of 10

mid volume day: 3 sets of 5

and low volume heavy day: 3 sets of 3

or should I just stick with 3 sets of 5 and adding 5 lb each session?

If you are looking at a layout like that try the texas method

Mon 5x5@90% of previous friday workout
Wed 2x5 using 80% of what you lifted monday
Fri work up to a new 5rm (so 1x5) and use the new 5rm to set the weights for the next week

Interesting.  However, I do get kind of skeptical with anything that has the word "texas" in it.  I may just try this.

What about this plan right here: Texas method week 1.  Standard method (3 sets of 5 ) week 2.  And power method week 3 (3 sets of 3) ?

Putting on lots of weight lately.  Not sure if this is too detrimental to my end goal of hitting 42in vertical in order to dunk at 7'4 reach.  :uhcomeon:

AlexV was wrong. The name is "Kansas Method". You can now safely do the routine.
