Who Is This Challenge For?

The 1000lb Squat Challenge is suitable for:

• Beginners: looking to build confidence and improve their squat mechanics.
• Intermediate lifters: seeking to enhance strength and stability.
• Advanced athletes: wanting to refine their technique while testing their endurance and resilience.

Participants of all fitness levels will find value in this challenge, thanks to its adaptable structure. We use percentages of body weight and rounded increments for all loads, ensuring every workout is tailored to individual capabilities.

How It Works

The challenge is divided into three primary phases:

• Mobility and Activation: Each day starts with targeted mobility and activation drills to prepare your body for the squats. These drills improve joint health, enhance muscle engagement, and prevent injuries.
• Squat Progression: Participants accumulate 1000 lbs of squat volume daily through strategically programmed sets and reps. Workouts incorporate various squatting techniques, including pause squats (isometric), tempo squats (eccentric), and AMRAP tests (as many reps as possible).
• Test and Retest: Throughout the challenge, participants perform mini AMRAP tests to track progress and adjust their loads. These tests allow for auto-regulation based on performance, ensuring steady progression.
