    Hey man! I recently started your 6 week program (halfway through 3rd week), in fact, your program is the first time I've ever fully followed a structured training program where exercises, weights and everything is set out to do with only minor adjustments to numbers
    Needless to say, I was stuck at a 275lbs 1RM for almost a year because I was under recovering and honestly getting super disorganized with my training (I'd show up light headed, dropped the bar on myself a couple times etc.)
    But a couple days ago, I managed to rep out 270lbs for 3 sets of 6 right after a night shift, I was exhausted and scared as all hell but I swear, lowering my days on and the amount of training to be more focused paired with volumizing my stuff made the grindy reps no longer as terrifying
    I still had sticking points and some form breakdown, but I didn't feel as panicked and grinding out those reps felt more "stable" than they did before
    Thanks for making such a great program, I think I'll run it again after I finish this bit, but I really want to also add in some athletic/plyometric work as well as running training
    Any tips on working that stuff into the program?

      @cheffroggo4363 what? squats and deadlifts are different exercises, i don't know how you can confuse them. In high bar squat, or front squat, or zercher, your torso is almost vertical at every point. If your torso is vertical, then you're doing work with legs not with your back. Deadlift is a back exercise (by back i mean spinal extensors, biggest and strongest muscles of the back), so is low bar parallell squat, which is basically an RDL anyway. Zercher squat is a squat.

    Standard pause squats work great with low bar, for high bar I usually recommend pausing after the bounce, right around the usual hard sticking point high bar has compared to low bar.
    This is also the reason I find zercher squats and SSB or front rack box squats to work great for high bar squatters, again training the ability to quickly break through that sticking point.

    Great information, and I appreciate the mixture of academic science and real-world experience. It's especially useful for me as I use the forever program and will be doing this lift at some point. Just to criticize the fancy editing a bit though, the movement of the charts/figures is distracting, and the sound effects are way too loud relative to your voice.

    Interesting video. I did a similar squat variation prior to my previous competiton with triples. My goal wasn't constant tension but to exert more force over a shorter period of time while trying to move whatever load fast.
    I found this was a good way to peak my squat/leg strength for my conpetiton.
