Skill
8 sets of 3 reps:
Tempo back squat: 3 seconds down, 3 second hold, quick drive up.
Use a lighter weight across these 8 sets than you would for a regular back squat. For the tempo back squat, you’ll be descending slowly over the course of 3 seconds, holding at the bottom of the squat for 3 seconds, and then standing up at your normal speed. You should not be going so heavy that you’re risking failure, but do be sure to ask for two spotters if you aren’t certain that you’ll make it through all 3 reps.
