The 20-Rep Max Squat Program is perhaps the GREATEST Squat Program ever.

If you've never done a TRUE 20-Rep Max Back Squat, you have never tapped into your true strength potential!

We’ll go BIG ON THE BASICS (squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, pull-ups, weighted carries) and always prioritize the most “value for time” exercises.

This Program is 5 training days/week, trains all major lifts, but focuses specifically on your squat!

This program is NOT for beginners! Intermediate to Advanced lifters only.

I am so confident with this program, that if you don't PR your squat, you will get 100% of your money back.
