John Broz, one bad dude

Starting slowly, very slowly, to incrementally approach John Broz's standard of squatting every day.

Had been squatting 2-3 times per week.
Now, after every lifting day, I'm following with a squatting day. I squat lighter on these days, but the volume is much higher. And it's the volume that's the goal on these days for now.

So, after my last workout, the next day I squatted 225lbs for 10s x 5r.

Broz's theory is that when the volume is high and you're hitting squats every day then squats become just second nature, just like walking.

Broz actually shoots for a PR EVERY WORKOUT!

I'll continue 5x5 for awhile, hopefully passing previous high of 335, before shooting for new maxes every workout.

After his 1RM (whatever the max is that day), Broz continues to do singles, doubles, or triples at 90% of the max. He stops when he has done 50 working reps.

Broz doesn't go a day without squatting 220kilos (440 lbs!).
His training philosophy blows my mind.
