Skill
Back Squat 8 sets of 3 reps
Be sure to ask for spotters if you think you may be tackling a challenging set. Remember that we always use two spotters on the back squat: one on either side. Even the strongest individual can fail to spot a relatively light squat if they are working from behind and the lifter loses position forward.
