Barbell Squat/DL ladders

I'm planning on trying this starting next Monday. Was wondering if anyone wanted to make any comments or suggestions. I understand that it's probably a lot. Rests are almost never more than two minutes and are usually a lot less.

As long as you can recover from the sessions it isn't a lot. lol. Question. When you say "goal" is ... does that mean you hope to make the ladders with a specific weight? It says you are auto regulating which is great but do you have an expectation in weight in mind?

I was playing around with it just now. So, I hope what you saw wasn't too different from what I edited it to. I can still answer your questions though. When I say goal, I mean the amount of reps that would mean it's time to add 5#, as long as you're not grinding any reps.

For the amount of weight, it's a weight that is a bit light. So, you hit the goal easy for at least the first week. For the 2-3-5 ladder, you would start with a 7rm, and subtract 5# from that. For a 1-2-3 ladder, you would take a 5rm, and subtract 5#. For the 2-3-5-10 , you would take a 15rm and subtract 5#.

I'm curious why you've got low bar back squats, high back back squats, and front squats?

Why all 3? What are your training goals?

For me, since my sport is weightlifting, I also do 3 squat variations: front squats for clean carry-over, overhead squats for snatch, and high bar for general strength.

But each one has a specific purpose.

I also don't do LBSQ at all, because it doesn't suit my personal purposes and has very different mechanics.
