didn’t charlie say ben did his 2x6 with 600 on squat like 3 days before setting the world record? that seems waay to close to meet day, but if true, heavy squats must have positively effected his race performance.
that would be quite different than my race day taper.
question: how important are your races leading up to the end of the season? i assume you have some sort of “championship” or something at the end that you would want to be at your best for?
Well, i would recommend doing squats 1x week just to keep in shape for that, but that might hurt your other races too much. But doing any less would make you too sore after the squat work.
difficult question. i guess im not helping much, but hopefully one of the more knowledgeable posters on here can help you (and me :)) out.
haha, i may squat lightly once a week, and slightly heavier another time each week. and i really dont care about any meets but those at the end of february. my team has enough depth for me to be at sub best until then
