Where did I come up with the number 35 days to increase your squat by 70 pounds?
On November 13th, 35 days ago, I began to do squats again.
Prior to November 13th, the last time that I had done squats was back in August with 105 pounds.
I stopped doing squats and before I knew it, my strength decreased and my fat increased.
The Exact Plan for How to Increase Your Squat 70 Pounds in 35 Days Without Steroids:
- Commit to doing squats three times a week.
- A monday, wednesday and friday schedule gives you time to rest between squat days and have the weekend off.
- Find a gym or set up an area to squat in your basement or garage. Invest in a squat rack for safety.
- Start with the 45 pound olympic bar.
- If that is too heavy, start doing squats with no weights.
- Use dumbbells to increase your squat 5 or 10 pounds every other day until you feel strong enough to use the olympic bar which is 45 pounds.
- Start every session with the olympic bar only to warm up.
- Practice the best form possible. An excellent article that teaches excellent form for the squat can be found here.
- Once you feel comfortable doing 5 repetitions of proper form squats, wait 3 to 5 minutes and do another set of five repetitions. When you can do 5 sets of 5 repetitions, increase your squat by five pounds.
- Use two 2.5 pound plates, also known as fractional plates, on each side of your olympic bar to increase the weight by 5 pounds.
- Always secure the plates on the bar using collars.
- This routine of doing 5 sets of 5 repetitions of squats will take you at most 30 to 45 minutes every other day.
- If you add 5 pounds to your squat every other day for 35 days, over the course of this time you will have increased your squat by 70 pounds of more.
This is how I increased my squats 70 pounds in 35 days.
On November 13th, I did 5 sets of squats for 5 repetitions using 55 pounds.
Today on December 17th, I did 5 sets of squats for 5 repetitions using 125 pounds.
