Today was my 4th week of having a Squat Only Day in my program. So far this is working great for me. I have increased weight by 10 pounds each week.  The way it works is on Mondays I only do squats. I do 10 sets of 3 reps each. If I complete all the sets with all the reps I move the weight up that next week and go again. If I ever can’t get all the reps on all the sets then I simply keep the weight the same the next week and try again then. Sl far I hav enot had to stay at the same weight.

This programs also has me doing the following day with support exercises for the squat like leg extensions, hack squats, walking lunges, and abs and calves.  Those days are more volume at 3 sets of 8 - 12 reps.

Hi all.  Well, last night I ended up having to wait until around 8:30PM to start my lifting. Too much going on yesterday. I have to plan things better. It was Squat Day and I was tired after about the 4th set.  I ended up only getting about 5 hours of sleep last night also. I think I am going to start lifting in the mornings again if I can figure out the eating plan and work it out. I love to start my day with lifting and I feel so much more fresh in the morning compared to after work and all the day’s stresses.

Well, I started a new program just before the first of the year. So far it feels great. Check it out here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=265928421#post265928421

Anyway, I am planning to follow this program to pack on some mroe muscle for about 12 weeks or so, then start a cut to reveal what I have created so far.  I have been eating more and I saw about a 2 pound jump in the scale weight after a week, so I’m right no track so far!
