The 1.25 squat is one of the best ways to practice and train your quads, glutes, and trunk to be active and keep you from falling over at the bottom of your squat movement.
How do we make sure we’re using the correct weights as we base percentages off of a max that may change during a two or three-month long training block?
If you prioritize your training to focus on generality and volume of work, you will set a better foundation to push the bench press harder and longer and keep it from stagnating.
