Goal To build strength, improve positional stability, and develop confidence under heavy loads while maintaining proper form and control.
Stimulus A moderate-to-heavy loading scheme that progressively increases intensity over 5 sets. The focus is on smooth, controlled reps with consistent tempo and depth. Expect a strong demand on the legs and core, with an elevated heart rate by the later sets due to accumulated fatigue.
Primary Objective: Develop lower body strength by targeting the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and spinal stabilizers. Build consistency and confidence with sub-maximal loading to prepare for heavier lifts in future training cycles.
RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion)
Sets 1 & 2 (75%): RPE 6-7 – Challenging but manageable; focus on solid form.
Sets 3 & 4 (80%): RPE 7-8 – Moderate effort; maintain control and speed out of the hole.
Set 5 (85%): RPE 8-9 – Heavy; approach with focus, ensuring proper bracing and execution.
