Squat A Lot uses a 5 day per week full-body programming model primarily focused on building squat strength. However, you can expect to see some upper body strength/hypertrophy gains as well.
With A.S. Prilepin as our guide, we will take a 5 week journey together to new PRs. No fancy gimmicks. No lengthy sales pitch. Just good ol' fashioned strength built with the KING of all exercises.
