The only issue that I've experienced is that if you have to miss a session (say due to work / sickness / family issues / etc.), it becomes two weeks between squat sessions, and DOMS can be pretty significant. In this scenario, it is best to pinch your nose and jump right in, even if you know you'll be a little sore in a day or two. You want to be a stronger MFer, don't you?
