We will be doing our final week of a three-week "return to squatting" phase this Saturday. It was a week of 10 work sets, 15 work sets and this week will be 20 work sets. Dave said just wait because on the 4th week you'll feel great and be ready to use heavier weights again.  That part sounds good but 20 sets...hum its been awhile since I've done 20 work sets.

In preparation for 20 sets, I just did some volume work today.
