Coach
Greg Everett

This is a 12-week cycle to increase squat strength for lifters who respond well to moderately-high volume.

This is NOT a complete training cycle! It is only squats and supportive accessories.

It's intended to be combined with another program (to replace existing squats).

Note: This program does NOT include coaching.
