3 different squats 3 times per week.

I started a new program monday wich in turn is a full body split using 5-3-1 programing for the big lifts (Squat, Bench, DeadLift, Press/PushPress) and progressive loading/ramping for the assistance exercises.

Monday is my Oly/HB squat day (5-3-1), Wensday is Front Squats 3x3 (ramp'd), and I was wondering since Friday will be my DL day, could I possible fit Box Squats on that day or would I be better served doing some sort of lower body assitance exercise like RDL's, GM's, 45 hypers , lunges, or somthing of the like. Thanks in advance my steel adictz !

do you lift at lost battalion hall?

[TheTonyT]

Nope, but I heard they got some serious weightlifters there. If I wasnt fighting, I'd probolly be into weightlifing full time.

DO you have access to bands?

[TheTonyT]

Nope...wish I did tho. Im lucky that people take breaks from curling in the squat rack long enough for me to work.

[Jamie J. Skibicki]

You can do speed squats without them, but they are better with bands. Look into getting a pair, I don't think they are very much.

[TheTonyT]

WIll do. My funds will first be appropriated into a set of weightlifting shoes , then I'll look at some bands. Also you dont think throwing DE box squats on top of heavy DL's would be overtraining ?

[Jamie J. Skibicki]

I have mixed feeling about box squats. However, mixing DE squats into my training has helped a great deal. I do DE every week and alternate ME and volume each week on my other squat day.

As long as each week you PR on all three of those squats , or at least on your normal squats, it doesn't matter.
