I’ve spent some time bringing up my Zercher Squat 1RM to 265lbs over the last year and a bit. My current strength goals are to increase my Deadlift strength, to increase my 32kg RM on the Kettlebell Press, and to get back into swinging/snatching.
As a dad of two young kids, I don’t have a ton of time to focus on a lot of goals, but I really don’t want to lose the strength I’ve built in the ZS.
I was thinking of just doing Squats 1x per week, but was hoping for advice on maintenance reps/sets/percentage. I was thinking 3-5 ladders of 1,2,3 at 225lbs, which is about 85%. I’ve heard 3x3 at 90%is a good format too, but I tend to respond better to more reps.
Any thoughts? Appreciate the feedback.
